BRIDGERTON – Review by Susan Granger

January 16, 2021January 22, 2021 Susan Granger Adjoa Andoh, bridgerton, Golda Rosheuvel, Julia Quinn, JULIE ANDREWS, netflix, Phoebe Dynevor, Rege-Jean Page, series, Shonda Rhimes

While Netflix’s Bridgerton sprawling mini-series may seem like Gossip Girl-meets-Downton Abbey, it’s unique in reimagining 19th century Britain with aristocratic families seeking favor from Black royalty. Produced by Shonda Rhimes, it’s fun, frothy escapism. According to showrunner Chris Van Dusen, regarding that era’s excess, beauty and decadence: “It was over-the-top: the costumes, the jewels, the glittering ballrooms, the country homes.”

"Documentary-like in its candor, [#TheWorstOnes] is also touchingly tender as it captures a memorable summer in its characters’ lives."
