Also a big fan of Simon’s sparring partner, played by Martins Imhangbe: I find it hilarious reading reviews seeking deeper explanations for the show’s anachronistic diversity—when all these costume dramas are highly fantastical.

Also, it’s cool to see Adjoa Andoh (Lady Danbury) in a role she can sink her teeth into. She was so wasted as Martha’s mother on Doctor Who. She hasn’t aged a day since then. Getting strong Eli Pope vibes from Simon’s father in those flashbacks.

Just started. Admittedly it’s a lot of fun, and Regé-Jean Page and Jonathan Bailey (what a backside!) are Grade-A eye candy.

Such a horrible disease.

Hmmm, they quote KC’s interview where she suggests having a POC actress play Samantha. I see why they’d avoid that, even though I imagine they feel some pressure to redress SATC’s diversity issues. Having an Asian-, Latin-, and African-American actress play “hypersexualized” in a group of white women would simply be a minefield. Still I get why they’d do this. HBO Max is having problems getting signups.

Pretty good reviews so far: https://www.metacritic.com/tv/bridgerton/season-1

I agree. I feel like the ‘90s eras of Garth and Shania really shifted things.
