howdy folks!

here's my review on the entire Bridgerton universe.

now 'lettuce' rate them!

starting off low...Season 1

season one by far is my least favorite one. the fake dating trope (which i believe this season was a play on) was not my cup of tea. by the end of the season i did not feel that they were truly in love LOVE with each other. with everything that they went through, especially with the baby, it feels like simon doesn't really love daphne. but then again simon does and still gives me the closed off vibes, even if he's totally obsessed with you.

i also wanted to talk about THAT scene with the couple. watching it in real time was so shocking?? a part of me sees where daphne was coming from when she found out that he COULD have children, but he DOES NOT want them. but still the most rational thing to do in that situation is talk about it before you force him to have one.

from that point on i looked at her differently. that's probably why i still don't like their relationship.

with that being said, i didn’t completely hate the season. it was a nice and pretty solid one. the other characters were nice and really made me enjoy the show. the music also??? i love the tie in of modern day music into that beethoven type feel.

that's all i have to say about it though😭.

now on to the BEST so far...Season 2

i’m still blushing at kanthony, like they are just perfect! enemies to lovers will forever be THAT trope (when done correctly).

going into it i knew that they would end up together, but it was still unsettling to watch anthony and edwina together. however, seeing him try to woo kate for her blessing and in the process fall in love with her was just so good (hope that made sense lol).

and the bee scene omg. like the amount of concern in his face??? like he was loosing someone he loved all over again. it was amazing.

nothing felt rushed. everything rolled smoothly. i have zero complaints about their relationship.

the only off thing with this season is how much we saw the featherington’s. now don’t get me wrong, i am a penelope stan (even after discovering her secrets) but i do not care about the rest. like the stuff with the fake jewelry was so unserious. however, the whole jewelry situation did bring collin and p closer so maybe it was for a good cause. (idk was she’s sees in him but ill support a woman and her hobbies)

that's all my thoughts that i can think of for now. (i could literally talk about them for hours)

idk what to say for this one...Queen Charlotte

the king and queen were CLOSE in beating kathony in my opinion. i am not a huge fan of the arranged marriage trope no matter the circumstances, so that's what deterred me.

beside that you could see how much they genuinely loved each other.

when watching bridgerton i always thought that the queen was tired of the king. like she didn't want to deal with him. but after watching QC, you can tell that she actually cares for him. she just hates that there's nothing she could do to relive him of his burdens.

between him forcing himself to "be better" for her, and her trying to comfort and console him, it was all too much. i can't tell you how many times i cried while watching.

now for my critiques!

lady danbury… like the scenes with her and her husband were sooo unnecessary and uncomfortable. like one? i could understand because of the parallel between the time when they did it, to when she did it with lord bridgerton. but the second and third time was just too much.

other then THAT the rest of the series was good. i mean the dance number with if i ain’t got you solidified it imo.

❥ that’s all i have to say (for now). overall it’s a amazing series and i can’t wait to watch more of it. if they were to make another spin off, then i agree with everyone that violet and edmund should be next! idk what happens in the books, but for them i imagine love at first sight.

❥ rating: 3.5 trees out of 5. there is always room for improvement, but again it’s a pretty solid romance. i highly recommend! and if you didn't know it's on netflix if you want to watch.

❥ also sorry if this review is all over the place. i literally can not organize my thoughts. until next time!

hello there!

welcome to amateur logs where i’ll be talking about tv shows and films that i’m currently watching (maybe even music if i'm feeling risky 🤭).

i want to use this as sort of a public diary and share my interest. i also hope to have discussions around them as well!

currently i’m watching The Vampire Diaries. i tried watching the series years ago, but now i'm finally getting to it. before this though i watched the whole Bridgerton universe. i'll post my review on that before i start with TVD.

here's to a new chapter!
