I knew this Austen wanna be series is going to be a piece of utter crap. I have no faith in an American, especially an African-American women with an axe to grind, to have any ability not to impose modern sensibilities and obsessions on the period. Lots of sleeping around blah blah blah...are their any unwanted pregnancies that ruin a woman's reputation and het chance of marriage? Is syphilis passed around with all this bodice ripping? Did this Ms. Rhimes bother to read "Sense and Sensibility" and how illicit acts ruin the lives of two women. Stay in your lane Ms. Rhimes and I hope this is your last attempt at a period drama.

Is it that explicit?

I don’t mind diversifying casting, the musical “Hamilton” works well. I’m not just not a fan of Shonda’s stuff.

I started watching Scandal the first season but stopped the first time some guy referred to some other guy as his “husband.”

I know what Shondra Rhimes is all about, and don’t need to bother with anything of hers ever again.

“impose modern sensibilities and obsessions on the period”

most of Hollywood and modern academia does that — making Shakespeare gay and all that.

I'm more a fan of the classics

I stopped watching Netflix when Obama got involved, then outright cancelled it when they delved into pedophilia.

I'll always wonder, though, how to sell pole dancing and twerking in period clothing. Don't the hoop skirts interfere?

tried watching it last night, absolute crap. I turned it off after 5 minutes, the un-needed sex scene and all the black servants and a lady in waiting told me where this would go. Downton worked because it was realistic, bridgerton just plain sucks.

I studiously avoid anything that Shonda Rimes is associated with.

my wife watched it in the den last night. I didn’t see much bodice ripping, but I only passed through a few times. Some unspectacular looking women in poofy dressed.

Must be a chick thing.

"I knew this Austen wanna be series is going to be a piece of utter crap."

At first, when I heard they were doing a Regency series, I thought it might be interesting to watch. But then I saw the trailer for it, and said WTF?? No thanks.

Hey, so much historical info on display. All this time who knew Queen Charlotte was African-American? African-American dukes too. I must have missed school on those history days. 😂

[mewzilla]

The books are terrific.

If you’re a fan of historical romance, read the books and forget the woke SJW TV version.

[Bratch]

The SJW's are deeply troubled.

Bridgerton has a rape scene, but it’s not treated like one
