"is off to a crackling start thanks to an endearing love story that builds momentum with stolen glances, secret meetings, and a torrid liaison that has been in the making for a while. But this is not just a reference to Benedict Bridgerton (Luke Thompson) and Sophie Baek (Yerin Ha), whose pairing is admittedly the strongest reason to watch the show."
"Violet braces herself for a clandestine meeting with Lord Marcus Anderson (Daniel Francis) at her house. Right before his arrival, Violet, clad in sexy lingerie and bursting with anticipation and nerves, pauses to look in the mirror to see a woman she doesn't fully recognize anymore. That's because ever since her husband died decades ago, she's forgotten to put herself and her wants first."
Bridgerton opens with an engaging love story propelled by stolen glances, secret meetings, and a long-building torrid liaison. The series spotlights Benedict Bridgerton and Sophie Baek while also centering Violet Bridgerton in an overdue romantic subplot. Violet pursues a clandestine encounter with Lord Marcus, preparing herself in lingerie and confronting a rediscovered sense of self after decades of prioritizing her children's marriages. The subplot grants Violet permission to chase desire and enlarges the show's romantic perspective to include older women's longing. The series frames sexuality as a vehicle for self-discovery across generations, with adults facilitating younger characters' explorations.
