Bridgerton series 4 part 1 thoughts Spoilers below:
Some notes I made while watching (I paused cause I canât take notes and watch at same time):
Naughty Benny boy mama is not happy with you or the state of your rooms.
Liked Pen & Eloise sheep discussion
Confused about Lady Danbury needing permission to travel. Like can people not do anything without the queenâs permission? Excuse me your majesty I need the toilet, is that ok?
I did like the queen & Danbury apology/hug. The queen admitting she is scared/lonely, not that that should be put all on one person.
Pen and Ben Whistledown chat. Pen is like really honey you gonna handle all the mamas and the queen surrounding you.
I did like the Violet âPenelope Bridgertonâ bit, think maybe just Nicolaâs cute face. Like husband like wife, Colin âgonna take our sticks outâ Bridgerton.
Finally a bit of action/excitement with the fight at the end.
A small bruise. My guy you covered in blood!
I didnât make any more notes while watching but some after thoughts, not in any particular order:
The Portia & Varley scenes. I get it was all part of the maid battles but I thought it went back on the progress Portia seemed to make over series 3. Like her and Penâs talk about dreams/husbands was one of the best and she seemed to really develop after. Also with all the crap she has seen the Featheringtons do surly you wouldnât want her to go anywhere else, what is she spills your secrets? Plus I thought Colin was in charge now, until their son is old enough, so like is he gonna come back from ice cream date with Pen and be puzzled that there are no staff anymore?
I did have a thought before I even started watching that what if one of the children walk in on Violet half-dressed either alone or with her new man. Then when the scene where she trying to be sexy on the bed for Marcus and Ben turns up at same time I thought it was Ben knocking on the door!!
Enjoyed the Fran scenes of her trying to understand her body/sex think it was important to include that. Also Pen being sweet and actually explaining it in a way she understood. I did think she actually got there when she screamed Johnâs name but maybe not, will have to re-watch that bit.
Still donât really like Eloise much, think it is the way she is written. I completely understand she wants something different from the you must marry/make babies but also Hyacinth has a point, she is excited and Eloise just keeps rolling her eyes and complaining while she expects everyone else to listen to her repeat the same things over and over. I absolutely think she should have the choice not to marry if she wants to and be a feminist ect. But I think she also needs to listen and understand others that do want that lifestyle. If she had listened and been a better friend to Pen and Cressida she could have helped them, Pen with Whistledown, Cressida with finding a decent match not the fucking great granddad her father picked.
I didnât really understand at the mask ball, Pen was standing there pointing everyone out by name then when everyone removes their masks it a sudden surprise who is who.
Also I donât think the Cinderella style story is for me. The amount of times Ben/Sophie staring into each otherâs eyes. Like dude she has the same height, body shape, skin tone, facial features and voice. Then you kiss again and you still donât realise. I was nearly shouting âyou dumb assâ at the screen.
Wanted more Polin they my favs. Still the carriage was fun.
Love they mentioned Colin going on a brother date with his brother in laws. Much better than the other losers he used to hang out with.
