What’s the storyline?

The story is based upon the time when young girls are about to make a debut in the london marriage market. The protagonist “Daphne Bridgerton” is admired the most by the queen and she is the eldest daughter of the Bridgerton family.  

There is another family of the Featheringtons who are very envious of the Bridgertons and their 4 daughters are also about to make a debut in the market. They also need to take care of a girl who is a distant cousin of the Featheringtons “Marina Thompson” who is far prettier than the other daughters and who later turns out to be pregnant. 

Daphne does not get proper suitors and is very desperate to find one. Meanwhile she meets with “Simon Basset” the Duke of Hastings, who she finds annoying at first but later she develops feelings for him. The duke is also in love with her, but both are unaware of the love for each other. The duke had an unpleasant relationship with his father and made a vow to him on his deathbed that he would never give an heir to the throne. Due to this he has no intention of marrying any one.

Daphne and Simon are seen kissing in the garden and they are seen by Daphne’s brother “Anthony Bridgerton” (Viscount) and he gets so furious of Simon that he challenges a duel.

After the duel Simon agrees to marry Daphne. Firstly the marriage just seems something of an arrangement but then they are very happily into it.

Later Daphne finds out about the vow and forcefully tries to get pregnant but fails. This again leads to tension in their marriage. And at last all the misunderstandings are cleared and they are blessed with a son.

On the other side Marina Thompson is forced to marry any suitor in order to keep a secret of her pregnancy. She even traps Colin Bridgerton to marry her but the truth is revealed and the marriage is cancelled.

What’s to like about Bridgerton?

• If you are a fan of Gossip Girl then you will definitely like Bridgerton. In this series there is a Lady Whistledown who seems to move the story forward.
• We can see a very different set of British vocabulary which I found very interesting.
• There is a sense of suspense which kept me on my toes to keep looking forward to on what will happen next
• It is a small and wholesome series of 10 episodes which can be binged watched in a go.
• The scenic views are also very breath-taking and even the wardrobes of the character are well chosen and apt.

What do we have to say about Bridgerton?

We would like to rate it a 5/5. It is a really good show and a must watch. Currently streaming on Netflix.
