    you are salty about Penelope like she has killed people, she has admitted her wrong doing apologized for it, was fair and ruined herself as well, and in both cases, she did it to protect the people she loved. when she ruined Nigel Berbrooke everyone was okay with it. how Marina lying and trapping Colin in the marriage was better than Penelope revealing the truth to protect Colin. in all her publishing she was only telling the truth.

    I don't think anyone in the comments ever argued that Penelope was a saint or that she didn't do anything wrong. I think it was the constant moralizing when it came to her compared to anyone else that bothered people. I mean, we get it--Penelope has been deceitful and that is wrong.
    Cressida blackmailed and you basically cheered. Lady Featherington stole money, yet it seems that you held Pen to a higher standard than any other character. I think that's all people are saying.

    This season absolutely WRECKED me. I know some people didn't like it, but it truly made my heart soar. Even though she's not perfect, I loved Penelope in this season, and the way she has so much heart and bravery and wit, all while being beautiful and complicated and serving as great representation for us plus-sized girlies. Colin might not be the most interesting character on the show, but I do really think he's the best male love interest - the way he was always so supportive of Penelope, even when they were fighting, and how he could acknowledge his own insecurities and flaws and let her shine... He's just such a perfect man in so many ways when it comes to his love for her and his love for his family members.

    I’m really glad that Penelope didn’t give up on her column and that she got her happy ending . There’s a lot of criticism concerning the whole LW reveal and others who really liked it. I definitely see both sides to it . If I personally had to rank all seasons of bridgerton it would be seasons 3,1,2 with overall being Queen Charlotte in 1st place and season 3 in 2nd place and so on.

    Cressida is a bully. She doesn’t get a free pass just bc her father/family is horrible. She was given an opportunity to be better and do better and she never changed. Where Penelope took accountability & owned her actions Cressida chose to double down. Pen wouldn’t hurt& lie to the bridgerton to save herself while Cressida had no problem lying about their family and blackmailing.
    Pens speech was great but for me the best part was also the queen saying how much she loved gossip. At the end of the day ppl judge pen for writing it but they all partake bc they buy it, they discuss it. So the whole ton is just as accountable

    Hearing somebody say Penelope's "redemption arc is complete" is pretty out there IMO. Trust, I felt for Cressida & I understand her reasoning but if she had just kept it at "give me ÂŁ5000 or I'll go to the queen & get the same" I would've kept some sympathy. But she started wildin and asked for 4 TIMES more. And this is not even taking into account her bullying of Pen the entire series. Like, if it really was that Cressida was raised to tear women down for survival, then Eloise & her in part 1 is pointless because nothing changed. If she apologized at some point to Pen & or just congratulated her at the engagement party, but then the marriage & reward $ happened, I wouldve 100% still understood her. But nah...
    The shot of her in the carriage made me go "Well girl...."

      I hated the whole story. I wish they would just stay with the book version of Cressida and kept her as an antagonist instead of psyching their audience out with an attempted pointless redemption ark.
      in the book, she’s the biggest bitch in London. keep her that way we didn’t need all this wasted screen time for it to go nowhere. At the cost of the main characters got more character development than Colin and it’s supposed to be his season like some people. Don’t even know what the hell Collins personality is. And the fact that this pointless toxic masculinity storyline has to be explained is also another problem of how poorly they characterize Colin. They should’ve kept him the demisexual Virgin of how (Chris) the original showrunner wrote him in the first two seasons. The disgusting đŸ€ź rake plot makes him hard to look 👀 at.

      I think the writers were looking to create tension and conflict. In the novel, as I understand it, Cressida is a 2 dimensional mean girl. Maybe that's why the showrunners used the sympathy card for Cressida as a convenient plot device, and then dumped her unceremoniously when the task was accomplished.

      Apparently Cressida's journey is not over yet. I watched another video specifically about the hairstyles in Bridgerton. Cressida's final hairstyle in the carriage is that of a cage/birdcage and apparently they had initially filmed a seen of her mum jumping into her carriage as she was leaving. And her mum's hairstyle was that of a key. Pointing to the fact it's her mum that will help her daughter escape her cage. But they wanted to extend her story to future seasons for possibly a redemption arc, perhaps. She has lost everything, so it will be interesting to see how they turn her story round.

 and publicly giving Queen Charlotte all the CREDIT for “her cunning scheme”
 was a stroke of genius.
    Penelope Played The Game correctly
 which ultimately is all that Queen Charlotte wanted to do!
    Playing The Game correctly allowed the Queen NOT to lose face
 and ALSO allowing Penelope to continue writing âœđŸ» under the Queen’s watchful eye đŸ‘ïžâ€Š and thus setting herself & her beloved Bridgertons free.

    Re: the Mondrichs - I think the character of Will and his family were created in season 1 to give someone for Simon to connect with (remember how struck Simon was by the love he saw between them and their kids?), BUT since Rege Jean-Page isn't coming back, the show has been trying to find a way to keep those characters part of show. But they've been struggling to work them in and create storylines for them, which is why it feels a bit off and disconnected from the other storylines.

      I would never root for a bully to get one over their victim. Thank God she got nothing. Also, if she was a good person, she could have befriended Penelope that first season. They have so much similarities. Even her wish to befriend Eloise was due to her last name (not that Eloise was a great friend).

    The Mondrich do not exist in the book. But I think that Shonda made a parallel with Penelope. For example, Will had his club, which was the product of his life work but because of society, he has to sell it. Because the queen wouldn't have appreciated it . And Pen because she was going to be a maried woman could not keep writing her column.
    Second parallel is the fact that Will and his wife are parents of a Lord. Their son inherited the title of Lord Kent. I think that was a foreshadowing of Colin and Pen’s future because their son inherits the title of Cousin Jack and Penelope ®s father: Lord Featherington

    Penelope should never pay her. That’s her bully. I would rather die than pay her. She tried to ruin Pen’s life for whole three seasons just for sport (Pen was never seen as competition, even for Debling Cressida did not consider her one). She was just cruel because she was an easy target and different.
    If I was Penelope, I would have done the same thing. I’d be willing to be imprisoned or disgraced, but I would bring her down with me. Bullies shouldn’t get to use their victims to get a good future. She reaped what she sowed.
    If only she had been kind to Penelope, she could have had her help. But she chose to beat her when she was already down. No pity, no mercy. It’s what she gets back.

    Will & Jess are the only example of a successfully married couple in the show. Lady Danbury, Lady Featherington, Violet & for all intents & purposes- the Queen is basically widows. All other couples are at the start of their marriages or in their courtship phases. The Mondrich's are shown to provide an insight into a love match in an established marriage.

    I would rate Queen Charlotte as my #1 favorite of the franchise and still think it was kind of on another level compared to the others. Then I agree with MC that Season 3 was the 2nd best so far. Season 1 is probably my #3 because it was new and fresh and so pretty to look at. And I was frustrated and annoyed by the storyline of Season 2, so have to rate that one last. But honestly, they've all been enjoyable and fun to watch. I really hope they do a backstory focusing on Lady Danbury or maybe Violet & Edmund's love story in the interim before Season 4. So we don't have to wait a whole 2 years. :)

    When Penelope and Colin marry, her earnings become legally his. Although I don't think Colin would ever take them, that happened to the author, Caroline Norton, whose husband came for her earnings when she left him for being abusive. Her case was one of the things that led to the Married Women's Property Act of 1870. Prior to that, a woman and a man became one legal entity when they married (although only one got the rights), and a woman only got her legal personhood back in widowhood. Over the age of 21 (which, again, interestingly, Penelope is not yet), a woman can legally own things and inherit things (some property is entailed through the male line and most -- not all -- titles are only heritable by men in England, although many in Scotland are heritable by women).

    It's really fascinating to hear & read everyone's thoughts on the seasons, even when I wholeheartedly disagree. Idk, I just love the discussion around all of the different topics, especially as someone who read the books & still enjoy the series as a separate but parallel entity. If I should rank, it's S2-QC-S1-S3. I feel like the season didn't do Pen & Colin any justice and too many side quests were afoot. And I also think they have the least chemistry of all the leading couples (not to say they didn't have good chemistry. Just in comparison) and that might be because they're friends to lovers. Anyways, great reaction. Can't wait to see what they do with Benedict's story, which is heavily hinted at as being next if you guys haven't seen.

    I truly appreciate your takes on this season. For me, it's been clear that those who've been in true romantic love relationships can deeply appreciate the complexity of Penelope and Colin's relationship. Some desire the fairy tale, which rarely correlates to life.
    Regarding the Mondriches, something is in the works. I noticed a very official man walking up to them during Polin's wedding breakfast. I believe something is in the works with their story.

    The show is somewhat following the progression of the books it is based upon; that being the case, it stands to reason that Benedict's story will be Season 4, followed by Eloise's story (Eloise does eventually marry, by the way). And then Francesca should have a full Season by herself; I will not reveal why. By then, Hyacinth and Gregory will be young adults. In the books, Hyacinth marries Gregory's best friend Gareth. However, seeing how Shonda seems to like to deviate from the books, she may have the Mondrich's son, Nicholas, become Gregory's best friend and then marry Hyacinth. đŸ€” That may be the reason they are featuring this family... then Gregory marries last.

    So glad I discovered you both for these reactions. I do have issues with a lot of Season 3. For a season that actually used most of the books lines (I believe more than other seasons), it was not all there and the cinematography was not the best, etc. Or even things like Colin always being the most gentlemanly of the Bridgerton brothers yet he is pretty cavalier with Penelope (being alone so much, etc.)--especially after he realized that he loved her. He seduced her but then accused her of entrapping him, etc. I feel like the writers did Colin dirty but Luke did so well with what he was given. There's a bunch more, but this is not the place.
    But, yes, the redemption tour (as you two call it) for Penelope was satisfying. Mostly because there was so much more at stake and so much more beauty when she made up with Eloise, her family (the later conversations between her and Portia also gave Portia a redemption arc), and Colin. Nicola played her so well. I didn't cry at any of the other seasons (a bit at Queen Charlotte), but Colin and Penelope had me sobbing in the last episode. My husband came downstairs to me watching and crying and chuckled and said it must be a really good show. :)

    That’s the thing. At least from my perspective, I never said she was perfect. My argument was always that this was a teenager that made mistakes and was growing up. But people label her as evil, and that is not the same thing. Of course she was going to grow. She was a child at the beginning of the series and now she is an adult.

    ​​SPOILERS
    John dies in Francesca's story and she later weds again to his cousin Michael (who they changed to Michaela in the show). That's the importance of that scene.
    NOT A SPOILER:
    Regarding Will and his family, I think their purpose is to show friendships OUTSIDE of Bridgertons and Featheringtons. Will and Alice are also an excellent example within the show of what a healthy, happy couple is. Their struggle of nontitled parents to a titled son directly relates to Penelope and Colin's situation by the epilogue since they are now the nontitled parents to a titled son. I like Will and Alice and their family because they are just so wholesome and *nice* and again, we needed friendships and characters that weren't just Bridgertons and Featheringtons.

They're entirely new creations, which honestly makes it more curious that they are not fleshed out better given the time they receive. If you're going to give them such a lot of screen time, do the characters justice. The only thing that makes sense to me is that, should the series extend to a Hyacinth season, the young Mondrich who's received the title becomes her love interest (a possible twist on Hyacinth's book).

A person has to accept what they have done, learn the lesson and accept the consequences. We witnessed a young lady who didn’t think she had a voice on her own find herself.
