right to everyone pestering me about them not being true enemies to lovers i’ve changed the bloody title and will do the thumbnail at some point. happy now?!
don't worry about them. great video
I love this video UwUz It's aMaZiNg! (p.s- if your friends won't be your friends because you simp for Simon then ill be your friend)
i read this with eloise’s voice playing in my head hahaha
Love your videos the editing amazing and the both titles fit let the haters talk they watch the vidéo anyways
Ummm... whoever is saying this isn't enemies to lovers can take a hike.
the entire simon-chasing-daphne-in-the-garden scene gives me “WHY ARE YOU RUNNING” vibes

No cause Daphne said in the books "her brothers taught her" and her mother was like "well...seems about right, carry on"
Simon’s actor is quite frankly the most beautiful man I have ever seen in my life.
Agreed

One of
I know what I said.
Isn't he yummy 😋
the best thing of this series is how simon never dance other than daphne. he just stand there watching her dancing.
That devotion to her...urggg
Sorry to disappoint, but the whole point of the ruse was to pretend that he was unavailable and totally devoted to Daphne. That's why he didn't dance with anyone else.
@@monicarapp1521 oh yess i just realised it for now😂
Of course, as their relationship develops, the ruse turns into something real.
Yes
Anthony calling Simon a BaStArd for soiling his sister's honour while breaking that opera singer's back no strings attached every single chance he got really screamed internalized misogyny and double standards if you ask me
Not Anthony breaking the opera singer's back 😭😭😭
That's because he thought no one knew about him and the opera singer.😋
I believe you're seeing it from a modern point of view. Brothers of the family were supposed to always protect their sisters' virtue for many many years( even in the late 20th century) So Anthony's reaction was expected. Now about the opera girl, yes he did break her back(💀) But she wasn't considered a woman of high society whose purity was to be protected. Im not of course saying these things were correct, but they were valid and should be considered
@@mariaefstratiou7427 just going by the modern spin of the show.
“Breaking that operas singers back no strings attached” 😂

Simon: when you- touch yourself-
Daphne: 👁👄👁
When was that?
@@nickaylaa-m.6889 That's my question
S1E3; Simon had to hint at masturbation/orgasm as a preclude to "marital relations"/sex bc their is a scene where Simon & Daphne are chatting & it clicks for Simon that women in his era are taught *nothing* about sex.
@@nickaylaa-m.6889 ep 3
@@bibliowolf5735 I think Daphne is just a rogue case even in this series ... Historical speaking women weren't TOTALLY unaware of sex or sexual pleasure before marriage... It was more of "don't talk about it to secure your worth as a good pious virtuous women " kind of social rule
“The duke and I are to be married.”
At that point Daphne was so done letting those foolish men make her life decisions for her. This is the moment I liked Daphne the most.

honestly
When the mother is the shipper, you need not worry..!😍
ohhhhh you haven't noticed the power of shippers around the world generally?
Right? It kind of reminded me of the swan princess
True.
As much as I liked Anthony’s growth in season 2, I will miss his unhinged “protective older brother mode activate” vibes
I’m sure he will still have his moments, they just won’t be as severe because he’s not that exhaustingly unhappy man anymore.
Bridgerton Season 1:
Anthony: Get away from my sister. I’m here to protect her from unworthy suitors because I’m protective and I love her.
Bridgerton Season 2:

THE SCENE WHERE DAPHNE WALKS UP TO THE PRINCE IN HER REVENGE DRESS IS SO POWERFUL WITH HER HEAD TILT LIKE SHE KNOWS WHAT SHES DOING
the way u didn't include the scene where they're discussing the painting and they start to hold hands is CRIMINAL I was fully crying it is the best
ikr
as is bow including the i burn for you scene but including the line in the title.
The sexual tension was unbearable but not until cressida made a scene by pretending to be fainted🤣
I was screaming " ITS HAPPENING!!!!!!"
That was THE MOST intimate scene of all, even though they shared so many of sex scenes.
Finally, a compilation that is not ruined by the heavy handed addition of some sugary sweet pop song played so loudly that the wonderful dialog is drowned out. Thank you.
What you're talking about is considered a compilation of "edits", this wasn't supposed to be an edits compilation and that's why there's no music playing
This show really said, "Let's take every Enemy's to Lover fan fiction EVER, and make it a show about royalty in like 1800's England." And they made it work.
Are you awake that this is a book series?
Everyone else: I burn for Simon
Me: I wish to burn Daphne’s bangs

They were fashioned after the bangs Audrey Hepburn wore in one of her movies. Phoebe does look a lot like Hepburn. :)

Simon confessing how he feels about Daphne to the queen has my heart :')
All I’m saying is you know the queen REALLY ships them when she lets Lady Danbury kick her and everyone else out at 18:38 without saying anything like, “I’m queen, you can’t kick me out”. She just lets it happen, and smiles. She ships them so hard, you guys.
Not to mention that subtle smile of hers.
"Perhaps a small one" makes me laugh every time, such great comedic timing
Same love her tone and expression 😂
Me, too! I really like that they had Queen Charlotte as a character more or less ruling the country instead of Mad King George, who was quite incapacitated, and instead of the Prince Regent. She was much more interesting.

It bothered me throughout the show.
The second I saw her, was like like "that looks like a DIY fringe that was cut waaayyyyy too short"🤣🤣🤣
It definitely bothered me right away and now that I know her character more I kinda like the fringe? Lol
Also, Eloise's hair/outfits in season 1 are way worse, she looks like Little Bo Peep and it's so distracting, and also funny because Penelope talks about her ridiculous yellow dresses and Eloise looks way more silly, and then she hates her outfits in season 2 when she looks more normal, lol

Pretty sure that was implied.

AMAZING JOB !!!!!!! He nailed the part !!!! Brilliant acting !!
Too brilliant. i actually loved the character for how well he portrayed an absolute jerk. he took jerkery to the skies.
The way Daphne and Simon communicate so much with simply their eyes and expressions is what helps make this such an entrancing story.
The attraction/building sexual tension during the gorgeous dancing scenes were absolute perfection. Visually sumptuous yet understated. Glorious.

Once this whole series, all 8 books are done I expect there has to be a cd with all the modern songs turned into classics because I will low key be buying this for the car

Eloise’s face when Cressida swooned was me. Daphne and Simon were almost touching PALM to PALM and they had to stop because of some SWOON????😭😭
The fact that we were all gushing over hand holding says so much about their chemistry 😭❤️
So, I usually like period pieces where everything is historically acurate - the costumes, the make up, the hair, the casting, the sets, the dialogue, the pets, the books, the music and everything in between. I have stopped watching shows and movies because they weren´t accurate, or never watched them at all, despite them having amazing reviews .... and then comes along Bridgerton, and I don´t give a crap about all the things I just listed, because ... well .... just look at it. I´m so exited for season 2
i know that historical accuracy is important, but bridgerton is set in a sort of alternative universe, so i really liked the costumes, hair etc. even if they were not accurate :)
I like historical accuracy, too, although not living 200 years ago, it's kind of hard to be sure what is accurate and what is not. Besides, a lot of life back then wasn't pretty. But I'm with you. This show was a feast for the eyes in more ways than one, and the music was gorgeous as well. I also appreciated how no one got hideously hurt. They used very little theatrical blood, which to me was quite refreshing. Yes, guys fought some spectacular fights, but I wasn't grossed out by them other than to wonder how they did them, like the fight Antony had with Simon in the club after they returned to London because of Colin's scandal. That was amazing! And we didn't see Featherington's demise either.
If I have to have historical accuracy, I'll watch a documentary. :)
Exactly! It’s MAGNIFICENT
I'm also a stickler for accuracy and the Harry Potter movies pain me because I'm such a big fan of the books. The Price and Prejudice movie absolutely delighted me because it was so freaking accurate. Downton Abbey seems fairly accurate for the early twentieth century. I haven't read the Bridgerton books.
There are shows one expects to be true to the world that EXISTS. And then there are shows that are ON POINT regarding the world that SHOULD ideally exist. Bridgerton does that for me. It accurately shows a parallel world, that our world should have been like all along. Even the problematic practices (males making decisions for the females, physical violence by berbrooke, etc.) are shown in a progressive, solution oriented way. We see the characters grow as all of us SHOULD ideally grow (prime example, Anthony).
Bridgerton is meant to be an escapist show. The novels it's based off of are also not very historically accurate, it's just a fun made-up world for romantics.
Okay but they bonked about 700 times on their honeymoon tho let's not forget that

There's no more banter because things get pretty serious in the last 4 episodes. There's even a murder!

THANK YOU! Finally, someone else sees it!

He's way more handsome
Aidan turner too. I genuinely don’t know why
Hell to the yes.
Everyhing about this series hit the mark every single time: the music, costumes, choreography, screen shots, etc. A beautiful cross section of regency society to its mores, its subtleties, the relationship to upper staff, the vulnerability of lower staff. And perhaps how the women who were powerless nonethless wielded great power through their ability to spread the word. The problem the rich and titled young men encountered with match making mamas is brilliantly displayed in some of the early scenes when entire gaggles descend on the poor man vying for his attention. Also how ruthlessly these same mamas sell their daughters on the marriage mart and the success or failure of said daughter depends on the number of suitors she has, the number of proposals she receives and the pressure to engage the richest and or most titled prize on the market.
And we cannot forget the fragility of reputation that could so easily be lost often through no fault of the girls, who were kept deliberately ignorant so they would be less likely to experiment or for fear if they had too much academic knowledge when they went to their marriage bed that they would be thought unchaste. Much like woman who were portrayed in Gone With the Wind, they were trained from the cradle to marry well with little thought given on how to manage the relationship after the wedding. The were taught estate management but not marital managment.
I also like the fact that they addressed childbirth which was still a deadly business although marginally less so for society women having access to clean linen, the best doctors and midwives and the best food. Also since the births were at home the younger chidren were exposed to the more harrowing aspects in terms of sounds. The birth of Hyacinth must have been a problem delivery given that it was her 8th child and should have been easier unless there were complications. These young girls were frightened to begin with and this would only add to their terror since the were kept in ignorance. This ignorance explains why it took Daphne so long to figure out what Simon was doing to prevent conception and it was only after they made love in reasonably good light was she able to put the pieces together because up until then he was able to shield the evidence fairly well [according to the book].
So the idea was to throw these young ladies and scions together in genteel and highly supervised settings to find their mates yet they had very little opportunity to get to know one another before they were engaged. And the latter could be arranged without their consent which we saw in the series. What was most interesting is the criteria the women used as opposed to that to that of the guardian/father used. It was a business tranaction and not based on sentiment, fondness, or love. rather on lineage, dowry, rank or land acquisition.
Lastly, the series brings into sharp relief the precarious world of the courtesan who took lovers without any security. Once it was over it was over with no long term care built in which is why they usually tried to get paid in jewels which would appreciate in value and could be sold. In this series we have Sienna an extremely talented opera singer who is paid a low wage to sing and is relying on lovers to supplement her income.
We cannot forget Marina which brings into sharp relief to what happens to the fallen: deserted by her lover [ after all he could have married her before he went off with Wellington], no where to turn to and tries to make the best of the situation. Being from the country she would probably know which herbs were useful as abortion agents but she didn't allow them sufficient time to infuse and possible too far along in her pregnancy to be effective. It was also not uncommin for aging men who did not have a living heir to accept a pregnant wife to prevent the estate from reverting back to the crown upon their death. Pen tried everything to protect Colin both out of love and decency except one: she should have given Marina a choice: either she tells Colin about the pregancy or Pen would. The actress did a brillant job with this character because one did not fall completely out of sympathy with her despite her calculated efforts to ensnare Colin. IMO she was attracted to the life he could offer her and that might have been part of the motivation to try and abort. In the end she accepted George's brother who was very, much in sympathy with her but she was determined to be miserable and forced to retire to the country rather than the exciting life in London. She may not have wanted to come to London but certainly began to enjoy the attention she was receiving. I felt sorry for her baby because I don't think she ever loved it. Nonetheless one pity's her because of her limited options in an unforgiving and ruthless world where such transgressions were held up for ridicule and life lessons for others. All she needed was a scarlett A. Note: the man is never blamed unless he abandons his reponsbility. He will be sanctioned by his peers for failing to support a bastard but not for raping the maid who became the mother of that bastard. And it was rape through coercion because the staff had no defense and less voice against the master of the house. It was particularly risky for parlor maids who were chosen for that role d/t their attractiveness.
WTH This Is A Whole Story🤣
Wow
THIS COMMENT OH MY GOD ITS AMAZING
I love comment section analysis ! Thank you ! :)
You wrote a whole ass essay, and I LOVE IT. Very insightful.
It was so refreshing to see how Daphne protected herself from that jerk Berbrook instead of the Duke saving her.
I avoided this show as I was searching for movies to watch on Netflix, for weeks...I never watched the preview no more than 10 seconds and thought it was another "Diana" movie...Once I started watching, had to do a double take at the queen, once I saw the Duke, I could not stop staring! and his voice! Love this show, I hope they continue to focus on these 2 in the next seasons, they are the reason I watched it. Following the books or not, this one is definitely memorable!!! Breaking through interracial relationship and CASTING A BLACK MAN AS ROYALTY WAS EVERYTHING!!!!
Same
There were black aristocrats throughout Europa. Not a lot obviously. I think the show runner was exploiting that fact. Especially with regards to queen Charlotte’s heritage.
Hi May, They chemistry, the acting is super strong . I love everything about this movie. How are you doing ? Sending best wishes season greeting . Love from Tennessee
WAIT I JUST THOUGHT OF SOMETHING: so daphne and simon put together is diamon (i’m mixing the letters in their names together], like diamond so since daphne was the diamond of the season she was meant to be with him bc of their ship name
OMG THATS GENIUS
Omg yes 😍😍
You should be a writer that's beautiful
It would be daimon* not diamon.
And here I have been calling them Daffy Duke.
I loved their dynamic when they were friends (when they were holding up the ruse).
But was anyone else bothered when daphne refused to stop when Simon said no though?? like if their genders had been reversed people would be shouting rape
Edit: I am going to add that while my opinion on this scene hasn’t changed, I would like to note the fact that media doesn’t exist to be perfect. Characters don’t exist to be perfect. They need flaws and they need to make mistakes and even commit *gasp* problematic things. These issues exist for the sake of a story and character development. You can enjoy a problematic character or piece of media, they exist to be enjoyed and criticised in equal measure.
I completely agree
There are still alot of people who do shout it. One of if not the most uncomfortable part of a really great show.
It is brought up in the book where daphne later introspects on whether she forced him or was it the heat of moment where both were caught up in the pleasures and she decides she actually did not do it only because she wanted a baby.....also in the book, simon was drunk and hungover and he was the one to initiate it by lusting for her even while sleeping off the alcohol and he didn't say no except at the last minute...by which time the job was done. Idk why the series chose to portray and interpret that complex moment in such a non consensual rape like way😣😣...its problematic to say the least.
@@child_of_lilith whoa I never read the books so I didn’t know that. Yeah it was a creepy scene. I literally have to pretend it doesn’t happen. Skip skip scene
Yeah no it still is. It was way worse in the books though. It’s probably the worst part.
Anthony and Kate are great !but. .I will always have Daphne and Simon as my favorites.
Hi elicia, They chemistry, the acting is super strong . I love everything about this movie. How are you doing ? Sending best wishes season greeting . Love from Tennessee
SAME
THEY ARE MY FAVORITES FOREVER
We really have to thank Anthony for those two getting together, his jealousy pushes other guys away from her and his instance on the toad is what pushed her to Simons arms (literally lol) and also in a way Lady D even though she didn't purposefully play a role but her not taking No from Simon at her invitation to the party had him there in the first place and so it all ( or should I say they) came together quite nicely.
Yes, Daphne and Simon are Goals, but have you ever wondered what was doing Anthony in that garden especially when his ex was singing in that very same ball?!
Potentially avoiding his ex?
Her mother saw her leave, she probably told him to go after her.
He must have had to keep track of her as her older brother. And I think Siena had finished singing by then anyway iirc.
I think I like this show so much because a fake relationship is a classic romance trope
Daphne: I am going to be a "PRINCESS"! while *stomping her foot*
Me: Give her a candy. Immediately!
13:52 the way he says her name right there, I am ✨️unwell✨️
HAHAHAHA i love eloise’s reaction after simon and daphne’s:
“i shall have you-“
“to marry of course, tell me I’m wrong”
FRIGGING WILDEST DREAMS I-
Ughhhhh when you know that this type of love exists only in books or on Netflix
The thing is I feel the same way she feels about him with someone in my life but I don’t think she feels the same way so maybe ur right
These two are allies to lovers and then idiots in love. I love them.
i need my own rain scene like the one at the end or else my life will not be complete
i need this era irl omg
Can we all agree that the sound track was 😗🤌 LIKE WILDEST DREAMS AND BAD GUY WAS A WHOLE BOP.
The music in this show is brilliant. As much a part of the storytelling as the wonderful dialogue.
Why does this series make me feel like I lost something I never had😭😂
8:54 “You cannot tell me what to do!”
I’m going to miss Simon so much next season.. hopefully shonda doesn’t f up their relationship to cause drama she better remain a devoted wife even if Simon isn’t on screen
This!!!!! Shonda is the worst I don’t trust her.
Amen! She’d better keep him alive off screen or I’ll be upset!
Lady Danbury is literally the best character in the series
En garde!! Too late I've already spied you!!😀😀
Did you bring the bar with you boy?!!!
Love Lady Danbury!
As someone who knows the absolute bare minimum about this show, this was very entertaining.
Also that scene in the boxing place where he rolls up his sleeves really turned all of us into repressed Victorians I guess
Edit: God watching the show makes this so much better
