Bridgerton Review
*This review does not contain any spoiler
"Dear reader, if there is a scandal, I shall uncover it." — Lady Whistledown
I find myself tossing an odd sentence here and there laced in British accent towards my boyfriend the past week after an obsessive binge-watching session of Bridgerton. If you’ve never heard of Bridgerton, have you been on social media?
Bridgerton is Netflix’s hottest drama which reminds you of a Regency era Gossip Girl. With Julie Andrews narrating throughout the show as the Lady Whistledown, I felt as if I was thrown into the 1800s— life of sparkling glamour, delicious tea and scathing gossips.
The series follows the story of the Bridgertons— a powerful and prestigious family where their eldest daughter was set for a society debut in London’s marriage market. With subplots of other families members and also other prestigious families, Bridgerton is filled with so much story of wealth, lust and betrayal. All reported by an anonymous, Lady Whistledown.
Who is Lady Whistledown exactly? She has eyes and ears everywhere. Bridgerton is indeed a period piece infused with a modern charm.
Intricate dresses, beautiful music and graceful acting caught my attention. For most times, I was relishing in its fancy costumes, hairdo and jewellery. But it doesn’t make me forget about the elegant architecture, tea spreads and most of all, their lifestyle in the movie.
Lavish and perfect. Down to the little details on the teapots, I am absolutely in love with its aesthetic.
The storyline was easy to follow, it keeps you on your toes for what’s next to happen and absolutely unpredictable. I mean, when was the last time I’ve enjoyed an English tv show without quitting halfway through? Bridgerton is beautiful with a lustful storyline and cheap gossip— just what I was expecting to fill my angsty-dramatic soul.
If escaping your humdrum life after work is what you need: grab a glass of wine and settle down with an episode of Bridgerton, you’ll find yourself whisked away into a story of glamour and romance.
Rating: 9/10
Till then,
