Discussion: Season 4, Episode 8 Join the Discussion
280I liked the season much more than the previous one. This is an adaptation of Cinderella's fairy tale.
1. A couple of Sofia and Benedict came to me. The actress is very lively and sweet
2. Francesca was just heartbreaking this season.
3. Mrs. Modric is a godsend, I really liked her role this season.
4. Miss Danberry will be missed..
5. I'm glad for Violet Bridgerton that she found time for herself. Younger children are generally fire🔥
6. Araminda is amazing as an evil stepmother
I hope the next season will be Heloise)
I think she's a fan of pink design. It wasn't for nothing that she was returned.
The second part of the season is incredibly eventful. It's a bit insulting for Violet, but she's worried about the kids, although she's sure they'll take it well. And it's hard to marry a new man (even if it's 15 years later) when everything in your house reminds you of your first and true love.
It's amazing how we were shown at the end of last season that Francesca falls in love with Michaela, but it turns out the opposite! Michaela is the one who has feelings. She avoided meetings in Scotland, left, afraid to be alone and give in to feelings.
Since the next season of Eloise and Francesca, I thought there would be an eyeliner for Eloise, but they didn't give us any hint(
An amazing season. Every line is filled with events, I liked that they even confirmed the sympathy between the footman and the maid. Such an insignificant line, but pleasant. And Violet's back with the Featheringtons, hooray
in a different way, sometimes baby hairpins in her hair give her an appearance that is completely different from her character (and even when you remember how old the actress is..)
, but progress has begun in her attitude to marriage, and the next season is about her according to plan, if not reversed with One of the sisters
the will "fired", as everyone thought
, the motivation of the main villainous stepmother is very strange
'he left me alone, he was supposed to love only me and my daughters,' really? Yes, motivation with money would be banal, like in the original fairy tale, but at least it's true
and still she didn't suffer any punishment, which is a bit disappointing.
I'm happy for Posey, the sweetest girl deserves happiness. 🥰
It's cool that the new companion was introduced into the plot not just to replace Agatha, but also influenced the fate of the main characters!!
I liked how Violet said that Anthony looked like his father, and Benedict looked like her, and that's why she was strict with him
. In fact, that's how it happens, in others we don't like what we see in ourselves
, but how cool it is that the WHOLE family supported Benedict, nevertheless The Bridgerton family is really the one I want to live
in, maybe I would even like a twist where Sophie wouldn't be an aristocrat and they would really have to leave, but the Queen would relent, setting a precedent.
'the night we met' – my heart aches every time I remember '13 Reasons why', but the instrumental also fits in well here.
I really want to know what will happen to Francesca next, and to learn more about the younger children, who will be even older by next season.
I was surprised that Violet decided to play "forbidden love", but sometimes what was in her youth should remain there
as a new Whistledown? this is very logical:)
in general, as always, 'The Bridgertons' is not some kind of intellectual series, but still, watching it is familiar and exciting, I hope the new season will not take long to wait.✨️
thanks to the Bridgertons for having a nice time, see you next season)
It's like she was deleted after the second season. You can mention it))
But the fact that she was the only one who was not at her brother's wedding once again does not look nice in relation to the family. how much the Bridgertons are tied to each other by family ties is very out of character. A big fat minus to the creators of the series.
Even Anthony and Kate have increased their screen time by 5 minutes for the entire season. This makes Daphne doubly sad.
I love the Bridgertons for the atmosphere.
The bathroom scene turned out to be very hot🔥
I am glad that everything was resolved in the best possible way, although the book was significantly distorted in favor of scenario moves.
Ben when he said that he felt lonely in a noisy crowd - 🫶🏼 rays of support
Should we bet on which of the remaining unmarried family the screenwriters will turn their attention to?
The intrigue 🤔
Penwood's new lady, Chryseis, is unexpected.
Rosamund's failed marriage, and Posey's boyfriend is fair.
The queen, who knows the truth, but played into everyone's hands, is super.
There are a lot of scenes with servants from different houses - great. The plot becomes less cardboard and as natural as possible.
Surprisingly, even the Mondrici fit in this time.
They showed as many balls as there were not in the book.
There were many younger children, there were Eloise and Pauline. We even brought some Cantoni.
Kissing and hot scenes - all bookish - were shown.
Prison, trial, shoe clips-everything was there.
The only obvious discrepancy with the book is how Benedict found out that Sophie and the Lady in Silver are the same person. But I was initially sure that the series would not be able to do the same scene as in the book. Yes, it turned out better with the quest. The denouement with Earl Penwood's will and distant kinship is a bookish one.
To the question: who's next? My guess is that Francesca will be there. The way the creators have fully revealed it this season, it would be blasphemy to move it back to the second background. and for Eloise's book story, you need to add some more background information. There will be a time in the pro Fran season.
It's a good thing that I just looked and just rewound, and didn't see it in months, years..
I didn't think there would be another exciting season like Season 2, but I was wrong.
Sophie became a breath of fresh air, their chemistry with Benedict is great!❤️
I was delighted with all the minor lines, absolutely everyone! The Queen and Lady Danbury, Violet, Francesca, Eloise, and the list goes on and on!
I can't wait for next season. 🤪
The couple Sophie and Benedict are sweet, but for some reason I expected even more disclosure of Benedict's passionate and vicious side, if only there was more fire (
Otherwise, everything is great, the friendship between Queen Charlotte and Lady Danbury is very touching, I will miss their tandem.
I'm looking forward to the next season. 😌
We were brought to the end of some storylines, it would be a pity if Lady Danbury was taken out of the plot, I hope she returns from her trip. I'm very sad for the queen. I like Violet's line, but so does her relationship with Marcus! But it looks like there won't be a wedding (((Somehow a lot of attention has been paid to Francesca, her line doesn't go over to me at all, and so far they are hinting too subtly at a lesbian line, or I just don't see Francesca as a girl.
Well, it's been a great season. We are waiting for the next one!
I came in, by the way, to be outraged that there was no blessing from Anthony, and suddenly a minute later the wedding episode turned on, hooray!!! Now everything is right, without such important words from the elder brother it would not be the same, but now everything is as it should be!
But... the most touching thing for me was still the farewell of the Queen and Lady Danbury. How they held hands at the end of the ball. It's like... the end of an era.🤗
The bathroom scene was one of my favorites in the book, and even though it was shown a little differently in this episode, it was hot and sensual.🔥
Surprisingly, the Mondrici didn't even annoy in the second half of the season. They became good supporting characters. I especially liked how they exchanged gossip hd
Eloise and Posey are such cuties at the ball and at the wedding🥹
The twist with how the will was found is quite strange (although it gave a reason to show Cressida again). Posey found it in Araminta's box in the book and brought it to protect Sophie. Here, the will is in a box in the house they used to occupy... Because what? Araminta doesn't give a damn about important documents? It wasn't exactly this paper lying there, why did she just forget about it when she moved in?
Well, anyway, in the end everything was beautifully resolved. I smiled so much when Archie walked Sophie down the aisle, and Hazel was her bridesmaid.) And as Anthony turned around and smiled at Kate, Daphne was not at the wedding, or even at the funeral. Apparently, the actress decided to completely withdraw after Hastings.
And now to the cons. Didn't it seem to anyone that somehow less money was invested in outfits and flowers? They've become simpler. If in the first seasons I could just drag myself away from the color combinations of flower bouquets and dresses, then somehow everything is weaker. Even Sophie's dresses - the carnival dress was wonderful, just the right one, but dresses for the ball at the palace and for the wedding, well, what is it? What do you think?
The wedding is still nothing. Such an elegant simplicity, which fully emphasizes its origins, so to speak.
I really enjoyed this season! He replaced his beloved second season in the first half. I would like to immediately review
the story of Benedict from the very beginning, and I am so glad that my expectations were fulfilled, because there were concerns after the third season, which was not entirely successful in my opinion.
Sophie and Benedict's chemistry is just something. The actress who plays Sophie is excellent! I really hope that they will appear further.😢
if in the previous season you didn't like the fact that there was little about the main couple and a lot of secondary lines mixed in, then everything turned out fine here! and every line was interesting, even the Mondrici, who had been completely uninteresting and even annoying before, but the plots were so well combined that the season did not seem like one separate story.
Francesca's line absolutely broke my heart. I knew it would be like this, but it was still so sad. I didn't think I'd ever cry so much from sadness watching the Bridgertons.
I thought there would be some kind of mini hint at the beginning of Eloise's story at the end, as it was with the masquerade ball, but alas: (now there is only a painful expectation for the new season, deep down there is some hope that we will have to wait for more than two years. It is very interesting who the new lady Whistledown is!
1. The Queen in the golden cage. It's so sad to watch her, especially remembering the spin-off about her. I think in the last episode she had a portrait of the king on her dress, maybe a reference to some real dress?
2. It's a pity that they tried to make a character out of a stepmother who wasn't quite flat, but they didn't pull it off, as far as I'm concerned. That she wanted to be loved, but both husbands died. Somehow, it was hinted all the time that she was not just Villainous Snape, but they never fully revealed it.
3. I was touched on the last episode during John's second funeral wake, as the acceptance of loss was shown in different ways. But I still can't forgive the creators for making Michaela out of Michael. It was the book that I liked the most, how so?
4. It's a pity that Eloise has not been developed as a character, no twists for her. She deserves more!
5. I am glad that Melinda has a sequel, I hope that she will have a more positive development, she was one of the tragic characters last season. Let them be friends with Eloise again 🤍
And the season ends on a pleasant and intriguing note. Who will the new Lady Whistledown be? I don't have any assumptions at all yet.. But I'm glad Pen won't even write columns, but a novel! And the queen will have someone to hunt for in the coming seasons.🤭
Oh, how I hope that the next season is about my favorite Eloise! Well, how many hooks have already been given in this season alone😩 She has already matured, and admitted her mistakes (in particular, her behavior in friendship), and thought about love. In general, everything is as in the book canon, it remains to get ink, pens and paper.😏
Well, Michaela, I just started liking you in the last episode, why run away? Why leave my sweet Francesca to experience the loss alone? Even at the wedding, Francesca said that one love would be enough for her to live.. I hope Violet will talk to her about this topic. That's probably why they showed us their relationship with Marcus. It's a pity that nothing worked out for them, but maybe Violet will find herself and they will reunite.🙏🏻
Sophie and Benedict, how beautifully their story was wrapped up. What a beauty they had at the ball! Come on, Sophie, who taught you how to dance?) And their wedding turned out to be simple and wonderful, in Their Cottage. And the portrait! I've finished it!
The inheritance plan is good, and as presented to the Queen, Alice finally lived up to her dreary storyline in seasons 3 and early 4. I will still miss Lady Danbury (please don't leave us for too long!), but here I saw Mrs. Mondrich as a worthy successor.
Ugh, how can we wait another two years now😭 I've reviewed the previous 3 and Queen Charlotte for this season, but I still have a shortage of romantic, gentle and light.😩 Did the season turn out well, in particular, many thanks for the makeup and hairstyles, and for the soundtracks, especially for the whole scene under Bad Idea Right? Waiting for Eloise
The season is one of the brightest!! The kind of series that keeps the bar high and emotional tension high.
So many bright moments, the theme of social equality, loss of love and upholding values
I looked with admiration at every frame, every costume, the music, and how beautiful they all were!
and in addition: I think Lady Whistledown has become either Miss Mondrich or the queen herself.... since the last phrases clearly spoke about the fun that the queen loves so much)
What can I say about the final episode - so much has happened, so much action. Prison, an open will, and eventually a wedding. But I still didn't understand (maybe someone can explain to me) - was Sophie's mother a servant after all, or was she a noble? It's just that in one of the previous episodes, when the maids were talking at the market, one of them said that she had worked for the Baek family in the past, like Sophie has her mother's last name. So she's basically illegitimate, but not the daughter of a maid?
It's a very beautiful wedding, and I've been so touched since the Queen and Agatha said goodbye.
As for who the new LU is, many people are betting on Heloise, Madame Mondrich, and even the Queen herself, but on the other hand, who said she was a woman? For some reason, I think that... This is Colin. I can't even explain it. I just have a hunch about it.
As for the fact that we haven't been given a hint about who the next season will be about... Well, during the wedding, Eloise said that it was good to meet like this at weddings, only as guests. Well, what if this means that next season Eloise will not be a guest at the wedding? I don't think Francesca will change from mourning to joy so quickly. Maybe now they've given a hint about Francesca and Michaella, and she'll be back at the end of next season? Although I still hope for a different outcome for Francesca's line and they won't leave her with Michaella.
I don't understand how the situation will be handled with the servants and LOU. The servants will definitely recognize Sophie and sooner or later it will reach LOU. Did Benedict and Sophie really go to the village "forever"?
It is very gratifying that all the lines of the season were closed by the end of it, and Posy was attached, and Heloise's changing mindset was thrown in (our girl doesn't have to gather dust on the shelf, it's like a very neat way to take her story next season).
The grieving Francesca broke my heart, and finally the character of the heroine began to go beyond the quiet, modest "I need to sit in silence and be perfect."
But to be honest, I really don't want her and Michaela to actively develop next season, otherwise it will be the third season, half dedicated to Fran (which is much more than other children, don't you think?)
As it is, the Bridgerton darlings are also the luckiest, as always, how lucky they are with friends and turning any stories in their favor is simply unheard of.
P.S. I don't know why, but Anthony's tan amused him, for a new father and in contrast to the rest of the family, he looks very rested)
P.P.S. Oh, Violet... I believe that everything will be OK with this grasping lady.
Well, it's pretty strange how they played the record "lord will never marry a maid, it's fantastic" for half a season, and then clap - and the whole society, including the queen, has no complaints about it)
Well, apart from minor quibbles, the season is quite nothing)
P.S. Well, I was also pleased with the smart plan to move to a new house, leaving the incriminating will just lying in the table next to the key)
@Voider:
I hope I didn't make a mistake in anything, I'm writing right after watching the last episode.
Regarding the postscript, I totally agree.
I liked the season too.
Araminta had the right to inherit, they left it to her, but she can't take the title and property for herself.
Similarly, Francesca cannot take the title and the property that goes with it. But the new Lord Kilmartin can give her money for some kind of maintenance.
This is the problem that after the death of her husband, women and their daughters were forced to remarry. The Featheringtons had a similar situation, but they were saved by the loss of a new lord and Penelope's son, who inherited the title.
Is everything according to the book? Or they thought up a way out with the maid.
And who has read the book? Do I understand correctly that the new gossip girl is Bridgerton, who does not want to get married and always avoids these topics
Sofia's father is an asshole: he had a child on the side, deceived his wife without telling her about his +1.
It turned out to be a wonderful season, very strong, colorful, super emotional and simply incredible
The Bridgertons have reached a new level!
I wonder who the new Lady Whistledown is and how soon her identity will be revealed.
So far, there are only 3 candidates for this role.
I am glad that Benedict found his happiness, the man who "saw" him! I hope that with Sophie's support, he will dare to engage in creative activities.
I'm really looking forward to the new season, I want it to be about Eloise. She's grown up this season, I wonder how her life will turn out.
Whistledown may even be the queen🤔 The only hope is that it won't be a new character, but a well-known one.
Beautifully shot, the chemistry between the actors is incredible)
How do I live to see season 5 now?((
Because when I come in tired after work, I certainly don't want to watch highly intellectual TV shows like Black Mirror or Chernobyl and others.
-you know something?
-do you know something?
I was very pleased with Eloise!! She has become so mature and wise, she helped Posey so sweetly, I can't wait for her season!! And the reunion of Varley and Mrs. Featherington is just the best. What a cherry on the cake - who is the new Whistledown???
Lady Whistledown's identity should be a total mystery, so I'm not considering Mondrich as an obvious candidate.
P/S : The season is as always very aesthetic, beautiful and romantic 💕 definitely worth the wait
the story of Benedict and Sophie in the series looks much nicer and more tender, they both turned out to be so charming that it was as if the bed scenes did not feel so necessary in the context of these two. of course, I giggled when Ben randomly came out of the closet, but overall everything turned out very organically.
Francesca is my Francesca. The actress is an unreal beauty and a talent! John is very sorry, but everything was quite expected here. as I thought at the end of that season, the tandem of Fran and Michaela turned out to be sooo good, but it just feels like they started developing too early, but let's see what happens next.
GIVE ELOISE THE NEXT SEASON! You know, Benedict's line has felt lost in recent seasons, but with Eloise, the creators seem to have managed to avoid this. she doesn't walk in circles, but grows, and it feels like the "right" growth. accepting other people's life goals and desires, understanding their actions - yes, yes, and yes again! The next season should be hers, because now is the time for Eloise to reveal herself completely.
I like to look for references to the next one at the end of the season, so the wedding scene definitely got me excited. the hint of Eloise seems to catch on immediately, but there is a suspicion that the season will be connected with the story of Francesca, which I personally would not like. but the creators know better, so we can only wait.
of course, the second season in my personal top will not interrupt anything, but this one boldly climbs into second place next to the first, which is unexpected and pleasant.
The actress is very beautiful!
Francesca was terribly sorry. But somehow the story with Michaella doesn't catch on. It's hard to imagine them even as friends.
4 contenders for the new Whistledown: Hyacinth, Alice Mondrich, Cressida, and in order of delirium, the Queen herself.
Waiting for Eloise's story 🙌🏻
I'm disappointed that Michael's gender was changed.
I don't think we started the story about Francesca early, the plot is just right, everything looks harmonious.
Possible spoilers!
I would like to assume that the next season will be about Eloise, there was a moment in the book about her when Colin got married, and the book about Francesca reflected both weddings of Colin and Eloise, that is, the time interval between Eloise and Colin's weddings is literally a few weeks, and Francesca is not far away... so I don't want to say which one The season is next, there will be a little intrigue.
I liked everything so much, I don't even know what to say! As I understand it, the ending of Violet and Marcus' story was a little upset, but they are their own masters.
And Anthony and Kate were somehow criminally few!! But their every appearance is such a joy!
On episodes 3 and 4, I drank so much tea because of my tears to restore my water balance, it's incredible!
And my beloved Cressida is back, and I can hope for her continued friendship with Heloise. I liked her.
Everyone is doing well, and well. All's well that ends well. My brain doesn't work because of the tears to write something more meaningful!)) Those old men from the cottage must have been surprised when the maid turned into a lady!)
don't forget about the post-credits scene ;)
So fabulous, emotional, touching.
I'm glad for Sophie that she finally found out the truth about how much she was loved and how important she is to many people now.
Francesca. How painful and scary it is to think about the loss of such a loved one as she had. She's doing a great job in such a horrific tragedy.
Hooray, Eloise is becoming more aware, grounded. Her dry stubbornness was already starting to piss me off.
The new Wizeldown writing style looks a bit flat. Isn't that Cressida?? Penelope didn't want to write about her in the latest issue, so she'll write about herself. 😁
PS thanks to the comments for the post-credits scene..
So, my bets remained with Cressida, or even with Penilope's mom, who was already upset without the latest gossip from the maid and that her daughter had "retired." :D
Posey has taken a special place in my heart, she's so wonderful.😭💞
It was sad that Michaella had left in such a hurry, although it was clear that she was beginning to take a liking to Francesca, in fact, I would like to see this.
I really liked a couple of them)
Eloise has changed so much this season, as well as in general, each character has picked up something new and realized.
I like it when it's noticed, that's the height of the characters)
And of course, it's very interesting who the new Whistledown is!😈😏
I'll miss this atmosphere, characters, gossip and intrigue ehh
see you in the new season💋
Everything was more interesting for me this season, but not the main line. I'm not even talking about how this season is storylinetically and visually far from the beautiful first one.
P.S. Yes, I know that it was based on a book, but let's not forget how often the plots of film adaptations are very much changed in favor of something from the book plot. I think it was possible to change a couple of details here, too, to make it more interesting somehow.
I really like the dialogue between Hyacinth and Heloise. And how they came to the common idea that marriage is not something terrible, but also not something that is impossible to live without, and first you need to know yourself, and not run headlong for a ring.
The farewell of the Queen and Lady D touched my soul. It's a wonderful, magical season.
The heat of passion, a meeting with a beloved past couple, a change in the rules of the game, excellent substitution combinations, a tragedy that turned over a happy family life that had just begun, and finally a loving and beloved woman and mother who forgot about her past, burning life!
To top it off, there's a new Whistledown (I think many people realized from the last ball who it could be), what are we waiting for next season, and we're looking forward to it…
addition to the story of Cinderella and forbidden love, we got a great season about female friendship! Who would have told me in the first season that I would wash my face with tears on the scenes of Lady Featherington/Varley, Lady Danbury/Queens, and even Eloise and Posey at the Queen's ball, well, it was so good.
Filming for season 5 is scheduled to begin in March or April, so I think an official announcement about the main couple of the season is just around the corner, so we're expecting it, but I'm still thinking about Eloise, because she came to the conclusion very smoothly that marriage might not be so bad, and Francesca doesn't seem to be at all yet. She's ready, and she'll be in mourning for now.
Thank you for another wonderful season, after the third one I got everyone hooked on the series, including my mother, now I just have to wait for them all to get there and watch the fourth one..
I think I'll see you in a year and a half, too, Jess (the showrunner) promised to hurry up and give season 5 an early start.🙏🏻
Well, we have a new family photo.
I really liked how the Queen and Lady Danbury laughed and grunted together - well, what kind of gossipy best friends)
The season is great (although the first part seemed to me more dynamic and lively than the second)
Ride me the emotional swing of the Bridgertons❤️❤️❤
Sophie is beautiful. Another starlet in this incredible family.
Lady Bridgerton "You are my son"🥹🥹
It's a shame that this happened to Lord, but her desire to find herself again is so sincere and she deserves it so much. I hope they'll get engaged again..
Your Majesty is my Queen, how cool she is, that laugh is just a delight.
I don't want to say goodbye to Lady Danbury, she's coming back, right???How can it be without her!!
I never would have thought that the Modrici from the first season, after a couple of years, would become such a significant family in high society, the best are just the best😍
I hope we will continue to see the workers at home, they are all very pleasant.😊😊
These parallels, I hope the creators see it too and understand what the audience is waiting for.
And here's Francesca's story: she has no chemistry with either John or Mikayla. Maybe it was a mistake to make a woman out of Mikayla. Well, Francesca doesn't look like a lesbian in any way.
the story of Cinderella in the very heart!)
how to live to see the next season now...
I'm glad that Benedict defended his feelings so much, no matter what. Violet is generally such an understanding and supportive mom. I think it was very important for Benedict to hear from both Violet and Anthony that they were proud of him. 🤍
Anthony and Kate are very few, of course I understand that this is no longer their story, but it is incredibly nice to see them every time. 😍😍 the most beloved Bridgertons
And then they showed me such a lovely baby . 🥺
There are also sooo many comments on Twitter that they are the best couple and season 2 was the most memorable.
Enlighten me, maybe I missed something: why does Penelope live with her mother after her marriage? Why is Colin just following her around like a piece of wood?))
They spent the whole season running around with "it's impossible to be together, because you're illegitimate, but I'll make such a sacrifice, and we will," and then it turns out that all the high-ranking gentlemen just have to say that she's of noble blood, the queen will nod, they say, well, OK — and the dilemma is solved. Something like that 🤷🏻♀️
such a good ending could be
Eh
Violet deserves to live her "prime era" so Lord Anderson, wait a bit, be a man.
As a result, I was very impressed with Francesca's line, it's in my heart. 💔
So, dear Bridgertons, who is ready to take over? Eloise, dear, I'm so looking forward to your season, come on, please. 🙏
I would like to mention the costumes at the ball separately! It was a masterpiece! but then I have questions, because it seemed to me that Benedict was not given enough vibe, you know, the main character
Do you remember how Colin shone last season? Or is Anthony in his? Where is Benedict's place? Where are the styles that you can't take your eyes off? I didn 't have enough categorically 😣
The showrunner promised that the next season will be brought to us as soon as possible, so we are waiting. ☺️🤤
We are now waiting for the new season together
I cried a lot and I'm happy ☺️
I'm starting to wait for the next season (hopefully about Eloise)).
1. It would be more fun if the Queen were told all about Sophie's tea. As it is, it feels like Mrs. Mondrich has just embarrassed herself.
2. The Mondrich line has been developed. Before that, it looked artificial, as if the creators had to insert something about the class struggle.
3. In the end, I got into a couple. Indeed, they have chemistry, even though it didn't seem like it at first.
4. Oh my God, someone get Luke Topson in order. I was confused about his appearance this season, from his haircut and stubble to his stale appearance.
5. Daphne was really missed. They would have asked Phoebe for 5 minutes, as with other characters, replaced with similar actors, somehow mentioned. And so their couple with the duke just seemed to disappear, this is the Mandela effect, and season 1 didn't really exist, honestly.
6. Araminta is the diamond of the season, starting with bows and ending with acting
7. Cressida was very pleased, the character is interesting and important for the family and its development. Of course, the theory that she would be Benedict's "Cinderella," which ran after season 3, was much more interesting, but I also like this twist.
8. The servants' demonstration is very interesting. I love this legacy of "Downton Abbey", it shows how the lives of masters and servants are interconnected.
9. I'm glad that nothing worked out for Violet. There wasn't much chemistry, and it wasn't in her nature.
10. Baby Francesca didn't deserve all this. :(Hopefully, a happy ending will come soon for her
Well, we're waiting to see who the next central character will be. They led me beautifully to both Eloise and Francesca. Of course, I'm betting on the first one, she stayed too long. And they began to lead us to her line with the help of books, thoughts about a wedding and a demonstration of growing up.
But it's not :) There are two of us like that now
In short, they gave in to the drama. That's great, because otherwise we'd be watching the same thing every time.
I hope it will continue in the same spirit.
I'm just thrilled with absolutely everything, from the little things to the main line to the supporting characters to the plot twists.
I liked everything, everything, everything, the season is definitely either top1 or top2 for me among all. I love 3 and 2 too.
when there was a scene in the bathtub under Never be the same, I only had that popular Edith in my head. if you know you know))
Michaela and Francesca have my heart, I don't know that everyone is unhappy with the change in the book, as for me, it's just great, I'm sure the screenwriters will find a way to play this story cool. we already very rarely see VLV couples in TV series, more often than MLM, so let's just be glad that we were given such a thing.🥹
as a long-time Marvel fan who has learned never to turn off the credits without checking for additional scenes, I was both surprised that it was there, I didn't expect it, and I'm glad I didn't miss it)
Cottage cottage cottage wedding... HR still won't let go, we're still in the cottage. forever.
Sophie and Benedict, whose love I didn't believe in in the first episode, melted my heart by the second part, they are beautiful)
I'll also mention: the night we met. the sweetest posy. Alfie leads Sophie down the aisle.
The season felt like a turning point in many ways. The departure of Lady Danbury, the new whistledown. The season is like saying goodbye to the past and getting to know the future. a wonderful season, very thoughtful lines of all the characters, everyone was given a good amount of time, but the main couple was not deprived, as in season 3.
They can do it when they have to! When it's good, then it's good!! It would always be like that. so as not to be disappointed. and crying from strong emotions, not from hatred.
Bravo, a gorgeous season
Sophie and Benedict are beautiful🩷
Everyone is wondering who the next season is about (I would like to talk about Eloise), but it seemed to me that there would be a prequel about the video.
There was a lot of speculation about her youth and marriage, like eyeliner...
but let's see, I hope the news will be soon
Then, of course, their interaction was well revealed, even some kind of plus or minus chemistry appeared
I've also missed the wedding scene at the moment, although I've clicked the credits in the eighth episode.
But nevertheless: why did Sophie grab her stomach after the first half hour? I kept yelling, "well, that's right, I'm pregnant right away, as always, thanks for the cliche," but apparently not, I'm not pregnant... I'll get home, I'll check it out.
Yes, there is of course a reference (and not a small one) to the tale of Cinderella, the carbon copy is directly visible to the naked eye.
But it's so beautiful, so new.
There was something special about it, with a touch of eroticism.😁😇
But I really liked it.😍
Thank you to the creators that this season was wonderful in its own way, touching, sometimes impulsive and reminded us once again of something that we have long lost or forgotten..
Which allowed us to plunge, albeit not for a long time, into those wonderful feelings.
They are not easy to put into words
They can only be felt
And they managed to do it again.
Thank you 🙏❣
The actors playing the main couple were very convincing, the most intimate scenes were shot very aesthetically, passionately, tenderly, delicately (where necessary), the dialogues were not bad (in previous seasons, even with beloved Kate and Anthony, there were frankly superficial speeches about nothing).
Sophie, of course, was more confident, independent and assertive than the slightly lost Benedict, who brought his mother with him in the most difficult situations, but you sincerely believe his declarations of love.
The main feature of the season is a cool, organic main couple, with a bright "chemistry", gentle, passionate, deep in their emotions and experiences, with high-quality acting that you believe in :)
I watched it with pleasure.
It's a pity there aren't enough mentions about Daphne and the Duke (
They crumpled up the stepmother a little by the end of the season, but it was more like "just something to find fault with"))
We shed tears on the scenes from the funeral ... Queen Charlotte's farewell to her friend ((in the very heart.
I hope there will be no LGBT Francesca🙏
And this denouement with the inheritance? The Bridgertons shamelessly lied to the Queen's face and enjoy her favor. In the end, of course, the last word belongs to the queen, who simply loves exquisitely twisted scandals, but I still have a feeling of legal understatement. And even if the wedding was held in a cottage for romantic reasons, I think Benya and Sophie will still hide from society for a while. People are not blind and may notice that his wife is a former maid (they could see her in a servant's uniform), no matter what the queen decides. And the magic of dressing up-supposedly the aristocrats just don't notice the servants-can't be a 100% guarantee.
It's much more interesting to watch Violet's line, which has just blossomed this season. The more children she has, the more free her hands are, and I'm happy for her. It's a pity that she rejected Marcus' offer, but I'm sure it's just a hook for us for next season.
I feel very sorry for Francesca, I cried at the scene of her conversation with my mother after the funeral. Poor girl: she was raised with the idea that her only task was to marry well and give birth to an heir, but she "couldn't do it." Of course it's killing her! And there are theories that Francesca and Michaela will be together, and that's why the second one left so abruptly - but there's not a sparkle or a drop of chemistry between them!!! I can no longer believe in such an outcome.
As for the minor characters. I'm happy for Cressida, and I'm happy for Penelope, too, because it turned out to be a great revenge. I hope Lady Danbury hasn't left us forever, and the new Whistledown will be the Queen herself.
There's a post-credits scene in this episode, girls, in case anyone missed it.
Violet has surpassed all her children this season. I admire this gorgeous woman. 🤌🏻😍
I'm really looking forward to a season about Eloise or about Francesca.💔 To me, Francesca is one of Violet's deep children. 🥰 Something like Daphne.
I think the new Whistledown is Mondrich 🤭
In general, the whole series pleases the eye, it is incredibly aesthetically pleasing
I'm glad to see the end of the season and I'm looking forward to the next one))
Whether from the tragedy of Francesca (and a possible rapprochement with Michaela. Speaking of which, I haven't read the books, and I'm incredibly upset by the fact that people who have read the book are constantly spoiling the characters' future through comments (natural disrespect for other people watching the series!!!), or because Violet doesn't seem to have everything smoothly resolved either.
In general, I feel some kind of incompleteness.
Sophie and Benedict are a beautiful couple and I really liked their love. She is not just a "diamond of the season" and a "good match" - this is fate.
I liked the supporting characters and the way the servants' lives were shown (because we hadn't seen it in previous seasons and only guessed).
The story of Francesca and John💔💔It's strange if she's going to be with Michaella later.
There were a lot of Penelope and Colin. But I thought that the actress was leaving the series, and that's why season 3 was about them. And now it's weird.
I really liked the actress playing Posy Lee. She is so sweet and kind and also worthy of love.
Now I really want a season about Eloise. Even though she's married, she just hasn't met her man yet.
Who is the new Lady Wiseldown? And why, if Penelope decided to give it up?
And of course, strength is in love and character!
Wonderful season 🩷
The tedious and long wait begins again...)
But I can't accept that an interesting plot with a peak and children was removed in such a sad way... I was crying..
Mom of the Bridgertons this season
No matter how much I loved the Queen, I was a little disappointed this season (although I understand her.
Well, I'm waiting for the Eloise season to finally happen.
She returned and a new issue appeared + in a conversation with Eloise, she mentioned that she was bored in Wales and she read (including what Eloise read, and therefore Penelope), reading could help her write beautifully, and her position and an unsuccessful ball distracted society from her and she stayed in shadows. The only thing her image brings her out of the shadows, but she could also hide for information. Although she may well receive information from the servants, if she is okay with them.relationships. Another moment, she could have been offended by Penelope for not writing about her ball (although Penelope hushed up the fact that the queen did not come and they did not gossip about her), and decided that since Pen did not write anymore, she could join the game again.
Mondrich is the most obvious option, yes, she's also a gossip girl and smart, but it's like she's the first option that comes to mind (as in season 1, many thought it was Lady Danbury).
Eloise is also not an option, she herself said that she could not keep secrets for long and would not be able to hide herself from society.
I also like the idea that it's Colin, who's also a writer.
Violet - I think she has too many worries to write.
Geocent is small and it is difficult for her to get information.
Could it be Penelope? Maybe, but then she would have told Colin (or the scriptwriters want them to cause a scandal)
"🎬 Bridgerton: Season 5 – Rebel's Heart (2026)
⭐ Claudia Jessie • Chris Fulton • Luke Thompson • Nicola Coughlan
The pen may be silent, but the scandal has never been louder.
Season 5 puts Eloise Bridgerton in the spotlight—Tone's sharpest mind, fierce skeptic, and most reluctant romantic. As her siblings slip into domestic bliss, and society tightens its future, Eloise makes a choice that a proper lady shouldn't make: she disappears from London unsupervised to meet a man she knows only through letters.
This man, Sir Philip Crane (Chris Fulton)— is a brooding nerd, a stoic widower, and a man whose quiet life is already overflowing with grief, responsibility, and a chaotic home. Eloise arrives like a storm: brilliant, dumb, and impossible to contain. The following is not a polished courtship, but a witty, emotionally charged clash of wills—two people test the boundaries of duty, desire, and what love looks like when it's built on truth rather than fulfillment.
Away from the glitz of the ballrooms, the season gets intimate and raw. Heloise is forced to confront the difference between ideals and reality, while Philippe's carefully controlled world begins to crumble under the pressure of someone who refuses to control her. Back in London, the Bridgertons try to "save" their sister, only to realize that Eloise is not lost.
She chooses.
When Benedict (Luke Thompson) And Penelope (Nicola Coughlan), caught in the currents of loyalty, reputation, and longing, Season 5 asks its most daring question.:
Can the family's greatest cynic find a love that won't put her in a cage?
but will finally set her free?
A story about second chances, intellectual chemistry, and the courage it takes to let someone in without losing yourself."
I can take it down
I join in all the words I've already said about Francesca - my heart was breaking from the grief that happened to her.
But for the rest, I really liked how the hitherto secret life of the servants was revealed a little; it was incredibly pleasant to watch the relationship between Eloise and Jacinda (Hyacinth); and of course it is impossible not to note Benedict's growing up and the fact that even a rake like him experienced real soul-gnawing love feelings that he so neglected.
Araminda looks a lot like Lucy Liu, especially her character from "Why Women Kill", straight one-on-one vibes))
Testament!!!!I am so glad that Sophie has a dowry, that her father did not forget about her and loved her.
A mother's love for Benedict is simple!!!!And what a smart girl Alice is!!!I'm just proud!!!What a speech to the queen!!!!It wouldn't have worked without her...
Aramunda's blackmail is just respect!!!!!It was amazing!!And how the queen liked Sophie, her laughter is still in her head.....
The Royal Ball!!!!!It's just incredible, such an atmosphere and beauty!!I will definitely miss Agatha, her friendship with Violet is priceless!!!!!And with the queen, their laughter and conversation are simply goosebumps, their relationship is truly legendary!!!!And Sophie is a goddess at the ball!!!!
How beautifully they danced with Benedict at the ball, I'm just crying!!!!How happy I am for them!!And I recognized this song the night we met right away, and I just remembered the night they met and their first dance!!!!There are no words how cool it is!!!!!!
And what an incredibly beautiful offer, I'm very happy for them, they deserve it!!!!!!A wonderful ending!!!!The wedding is incredible!!!!I just burst into tears and I'm so happy for them!!!!The amazing Cinderella story!!I'm excited about this season!!!!!! The only sad thing is that Marcus left, I was so happy for them, and here it is...and it's also very sad about Mikaella, as I understand it, this is the prototype of Michael like...And who is the new gossip girl, the new intrigue!!!😱
I wonder who the next season will be about. It's supposed to be about Eloise, but Julia Queen said that the order could change, and Francesca or someone else could be in the center of the plot.
Of all the guests at the wedding, Posey, in my opinion, was the most happy))
Where is that light of the Bridgertons, that vibe?!!!
We look further...
I didn't bet on this season at all, especially after 3, which I had a contradictory impression of, but this one is great🥹
Instrumental version of taylor swift and night we met in the very heart
The story of Cinderella has been used many times, but it still pleased me.
I'm waiting for the film adaptation of Eloise's book, the words about how she loves weddings, although as a guest I think they were a hint for her next season.🔥🙏
I was really glad to see Cressida, it's just wow!! And that she's doing well, I love her outfits and pink)
The cool characters are Araminta, Posey and Rosamund, I hope to see more of them in the next seasons, and Francesca's story is just wow, Fran is great.
The Queen-Danberry was tired this season, it's not clear why Danberry needed to leave, but I'm glad that at least Mondrich isn't a useless character anymore.
Violet and Marcus — well, it's kind of hard for me too, a wedding is not a wedding, what should I tell the kids - well, adults, figure it out, too much screen time
I'm glad Whistledown is back))
I didn't have enough gossip about intersections of some families, tea parties, balls, some kind of secular movement)
