"This season of Bridgerton is good. It's quite good! Yerin Ha and Luke Thompson stare at one another with so much yearning and frustration and delight that even if the season were more of a mess, there'd still be plenty of reason to watch. Like any Bridgerton season, though, the first half of season four also has its ... elements. Points of small contention, perhaps. Quibbles. Minor irritations. Slight distractions. Little features of bizarre inaccuracy that should be utterly unimportant and trivial"
"Penelope's masquerade costumeBecause she's deep undercover and wearing a costume that totally obscures her identity, Penelope is able to continue her work as the gossip columnist Lady Whistledown even after she's been exposed. She lurks around the masquerade in the season premiere, standing quietly against a curtained backdrop, overhearing all kinds of delicious secrets because no one knows it's her. What costume is so thoroughly disguising this woman, you ask? A hat."
Season four of Bridgerton remains enjoyable, propelled by vivid chemistry between Yerin Ha and Luke Thompson. The first half contains a string of small quibbles, minor irritations, and bizarre historical or costume inaccuracies that repeatedly distract from the Regency setting. Penelope continues to operate as Lady Whistledown while disguised at a masquerade, relying on an implausible costume—a massive pirate hat, blonde hair, and a tiny mask—that fails to convincingly hide her distinctive appearance. Benedict begins collecting miniatures while searching for his Lady in Silver. These petty inaccuracies prompt viewers to notice and debate minor details despite the season's pleasures.
