And tomorrow, Dec 25th, you get your wish for original Regency media. Bridgerton is getting released on Netflix. The male lead looks dreamy too.

Bridgerton is based on books just as an FYI. Just not "literary classics".

Also the first book has a rape scene that comes out of no where, so I hope they changed that within the show.

Oof thanks for the warning

It wasn't treated well in the books and iirc the author wishes they wouldn't have done it now? Its a rare woman on male type, so ymmv.

I just found this from the vox review so...it seems to still be in there.


"In Simon’s case, as the other main character of color, his duplicity is a bit more unwitting — but it’s still a major plot point, and it contributes to the show’s most galling moment, in which a character rapes another character in a way that’s fast, fleeting, and seemingly brushed-over. In the Bridgerton novel The Duke and I, author Julia Quinn clearly wrote the corresponding scene as non-consensual, and the creative team changed some details to make it less rapey — but that just makes it unclear to me whether the creative team realized that the scene they left in the storyline was still non-consensual."

Oh yikes. That's not great at all.

It's also giving me flashbacks to the Jamie and Cersei funeral rape scene that they later tried to backpedal on.

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah its...not great. scenes like that always freak me out (in the books the rapist is pretty unapologetic too. It's not a violent rape but its rape/noncon), so the fact it seems just glossed over in the show is...bad.

Though I guess we'll know once it comes out. :/

Aw, no. If Julia Quinn is the author I'm remembering, I didn't care for her books. They were heavy on the romance, light on the historical. I want the opposite, or at least a better balance.

He does look dreamy but the rest of the trailer is pretty vapid. Think I'll pass unless I feel desperate for entertainment.
