From the first time I watched Shondaland's Bridgerton, there was no question in my mind that it was destined to be a hit. The period drama's sweeping sets, lush costumes, an irresistible gossip columnist, fabulous Queen Charlotte, and casting of Regé-Jean Page as Simon saw to that. But as overwhelmingly delightful as this book series turned-Netflix show is, I can't talk about the good without mentioning the bad. And that bad comes in episode 6's "Swish."
Some may associate this particular episode with Daphne (played by Phoebe Dynevor) and Simon's shameless romps on every surface of Hastings House. But it's the controversial sex scene towards the end of the 57-minute mark that has people talking. After Daphne realizes that her husband has been practicing the withdrawal method and his "I can't have children" is more of an "I won't have children," the newlywed feels betrayed, believing that Simon has taken advantage of her naivety when it comes to the ins and outs of conception.

Don’t watch it and don’t ever want libtard Netflix either.
Woke porn.
Simple, if the producer or director’s name precedes the title?
It’s crap.
Daphne (played by Phoebe Dynevor) and Simon’s shameless romps on every surface of Hastings House>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Coitus Interuptus ( CI) come Socialist Interuptus?
CI shown to NOT be an effective birth control method, which justifies the modern need for abortion even outside the womb as in the State of Virginia?
The Bridgerton sexual romps are a reflection of the mythical deep desires of every white privileged woman to experience interracial sex and to worship at the phallic shrines of
Rev. Ralph Wright, Louis Farrakhan, Al Sharpton and many other’s race mongering dicks.
Bridgerton is a major reverse racist statement cloaked in pomp. circumstance and the wishful trysts of leftists and democrats everywhere. All it is missing is RINO Democrat Mitt Romney recast as Pierre DeLecto and the Mormon tabernacle choir.
Its well worth the watch just to observe the skillful redefinition of history as a cock and balls story which re -establishes racist sexual Mandingo mythology.
In reality our true history shows that such societal conduct generally resulted in syphilis and other diseases being rampant among the tawdry bawds of the 18th Century.And the Bridgerton series would have us believe it does not transmit a lefty syphilis of the mind? Buahahahahahaha!
Netflix has been caught with its pants down, neither a pretty nor endearing sight. The comedy of the identity body politic continues apace.
Well, actually, this duke does not want children. When his father lay dying he told him he would never have children to punish him for the way he mistreated him and his mother. For his father the realisation that his line would end with his son was the ultimate punishment.
That said,Bridgerton is akin to junk food. It doesn`t have a lot to do with the real thing, but lots of people enjoy it nonetheless.
The Problem with Sensitivity Readers
I don't know if the Bridgerton novels have been screwed with in reprints. If not, just read the books.
Really?!?! This is what passes for “controversy” these days...
The world is lost.
“Woke porn.”
I think that’s apt.
To me, who has watched only one episode and don’t know whether my wife will want to watch more, many scenes looked greenscreened, the actors all act cute and cocky, smashed in bustlines with tops always showing, shapeless women, wokey mixture of races and fatties, scenes change too fast (to end them before they become boring), a narration using the original author’s words which is a crutch used with the hope of rescuing a poor screenplay.
And yes, true to Netflix, there’s screwing aplenty.
A poor attempt at riding the momentum of Downton Abby and Victoria.
Best-acted character is the Black earl.
That’s what I got from the first episode.
Oprah Mag, must be terribly bored
Half watched it as the wife wanted to see it. Wouldn’t call it porn.
What I would call it is inaccurate and not particularly well written.
The actor who portrayed Gen. Benedict Arnold reminded me of mitt romney - perfect casting.
From what I've heard about "Bridgeton" it sounds like a hard pass.
Re: the article
Seriously? The author says the woman raped the man? What about what the man did to her? He got his interests met, so to speak, while fraudulently denying her hers. Would she have consented had she known that he was deliberately keeping her from becoming pregnant?
Bridgerton and Wonder Woman 84 both seem to have used male rape/sexual assault in their plot with little to no media blowback; why is that?#Bridgerton #WW84
