"Bridgerton" Season 3: There’s Hope For Both Wallflowers And Playboys
The long-awaited return to Regency London has occurred, and it comes with a suspenseful progression of events. Although some might think it’s somewhat lacking compared to the previous seasons, I thought it was entertaining and left me guessing about the next series.
In various sneak peeks into the new Bridgerton season, we saw that Penelope Featherington takes the spotlight and yet again is plagued by the results of her anonymous escapades as Lady Whistledown, while a new Bridgerton boards the social season and Colin strides in as the new local heartthrob. While this is indeed the case in Season 3, I found that the season gave too much attention to the many side plots, which distracted from the main characters and their development. These included the pregnancy endeavors of the two elder Featherington sisters, Cressida Cowper’s impending spinsterhood, Eloise’s grumblings, Lady Bridgerton’s attentions from a widower, and the Modriches’ struggles in society, as well as the brief jumps to Anthony’s love life.
