It’s amusing to see the guilty pleasure, love-hate relationship so many girls have with Bridgerton. Many enjoy it because it’s refreshing to have a show of pretty dresses and elegant language that shows off a woman’s dignity, so to speak, and Bridgerton makes it entertaining with plenty of comic relief. With the complications of our dating world, all the apps and hookup culture, some might think they had a simplified approach to making a match back then. And, of course, we girls do love the suspenseful thrill of a dramatic plot slowly unraveling! It’s so much more intriguing for our female psyches than the guy movies of nonstop fighting and gunfire with little to no dialogue (no offense, Terminator).
