So...I've now watched thru Bridgerton twice, and...
1.
I am NOT OK with the "Daphne rapes Simon" scene.
Daphne: "That was before I knew you. ....
I never asked for your betrayal.
You do not lie...You do not trick...You do not humiliate"
Simon looks like he's been lied to, was tricked/manipulated with orgasm.
2.
Lady Whistledown writes about one young lady, but the audience is shown the connection to The Duke and the audience.
"Can the ends ever justify such wretched means?" is read aloud over Daphne/Simon in bed #feelingEmotions.
3.
Simon and Daphne have a tension kink - they have to connect sharply in clothes, eyes, and mind.
They spend most of their time "anything you can do to me I can do to you" spanning looks, avoided looks,
4.
Colin is beautiful-hearted. Even while disturbed by the control Daphne now weilds on the family (proven by locking the Duke back in the carriage)
"my heart's pays no head to logic" - Colin's earnest reposte
5.
The Duke and Duchess perform what I like to call "The Thomas Crown Stairs Scene".
