Does Bridgerton really feel like Regency era, though? Though I guess if you lean more towards the Julia Quinn side of Regency romance as opposed to Georgette Heyer, it probably seems all right.

[(Anonymous)]

My impression from when I tried to watch it is that it doesn't feel like Regency-era at all. The aesthetics are there, but that's about it. Really wasn't my thing due to that.

But the aesthetics seem to be what people are there for, so it's cool that it's doing it for them.

[(Anonymous)]

I'm not even sure the aesthetics are there, because the costuming doesn't look very Regency at all. It's not particularly historical, it's its own thing and deliberately done that way. Like Reign, it's not even trying.

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah, it's just kinda skims Regency, but I like it way better because I'm not watching a bunch of whiny rich white people. Again.

[(Anonymous)]

Does watching a slightly more diverse cast of whiny rich people make it that much better?

[(Anonymous)]

Yes

[(Anonymous)]

Oh. So you're racist, but aren't bothered by income inequality.

[(Anonymous)]

Most modern "Regency romance" is like Bridgerton - only vaguely Regency, mostly a lot of anachronistic stuff and porn. It's frustrating because it wouldn't be that difficult to actually utilize more historical details AND still include the porn, but so many authors basically want to write their characters like they're 21st century folks who wear dresses and go to balls.

[(Anonymous)]

I find Bridgerton to be way more graphic than Grey's Anatomy.

[(Anonymous)]

I was actually surprised to find how few sex scenes there were when I finally watched. I had hesitated because if I wanted to watch people having sex, I'd just watch porn.

[(Anonymous)]

it's less shonda and more many historical romance novels by the big publushers (since the 70s and 80s id say) have sex as an expected part of the novel and part of the reason this show got made was because there was sex in it.
