It’s an unqualified triumph. ... “Bridgerton” is Jane Austen meets “Scandal” meets “Gossip Girl” meets “The Favourite,” resulting in a wonderfully anachronistic mashup with gorgeous visuals, high-end production values and suitably larger-than-life performances by the talented cast.

Beguiling. ... Bridgerton’s diversity backstory feels warm yet half-baked ... But because it’s happening in a genre that always papers over some realities, I don’t really mind. Bridgerton’s end result is a heady cloud of pleasure and true love set in an idealized, more inclusive milieu. At a time when I’m longing to escape the real world, few fantasies are more inviting.

Bridgerton is a satisfying inversion of tropes, a bonfire of our period-drama vanities. That’s about all the insight it delivers—but this holiday season, eight hours of getting the hell out of the real world is a precious gift indeed. Read full review

It’s like “Dickinson,” but better, and it’s like “The Great,” but not as good. Read full review

Twisty romance plays out against a busy swirl of subplots. [4 - 17 Jan 2021, p.6]

This is a handsome, lavish romance that will appeal to a large audience, but it's also painstakingly insubstantial. Read full review

Instead of filling that opulent, 19th-century setting with true passion and heart, the show comes off like many of the aristocrats it’s skewering: soulless and vapid. Read full review

The story is romantic and funny. The fact that this is a diverse cast may be unsettling to some but I found it very believable and the cast is fantastic.

Julia Quinn is a fantastic author who did a fantastic job with her novels. I own all of the Brigertons novels, and love how historically accurate they are with well developed characters who challenged the societal and gender norms of the day. (1805ish) I was really taken back when theJulia Quinn is a fantastic author who did a fantastic job with her novels. I own all of the Brigertons novels, and love how historically accurate they are with well developed characters who challenged the societal and gender norms of the day. (1805ish) I was really taken back when the royalty was black but thought "well maybe they were just the best actors and actresses for the job?" Not historically accurate but hey whatever its Hollywood. Then they had to go and make it political. I hate that they destroyed her work, if it was named something else or loosely based on her ideas then it would be a fantastic work (if it was not trying to make a political statement) but when you take an authors work, her name, her ideas and characters you don't change it to your own idea and political arguments and call it the same thing.… Expand

Awful modern take, and hypocritical to make. It's not cultural appropriation when they do it huh? Netflix always like to opt for a diverse cast instead of a good plot to stir the media. A cheap trick that still works.

As expected, its garbage. So many good 'critic' reviews is because of the 'color blind' casting I guess. Metacritic says its like "Downton Abbey...with more sex". Shows like Downton Abbey did just fine without the sex.
