We all love books here, but I thought I might start dedicating some posts on Saturdays to highlight one of my other loves – TV!
What I’m watching
Bridgerton on Netflix. There is one season of 8 episodes currently available. It’s based on the book The Duke and I by Julia Quinn.
Wealth, lust, and betrayal set in the backdrop of Regency era England, seen through the eyes of the powerful Bridgerton family.
Why I’m Watching
It seemed like everywhere I looked, I was seeing an advertisement for Bridgerton. I’ve liked a few Shondaland shows, so I thought I’d give it a try, even though I really didn’t have any high expectations for it. I’ve never read the book, nor am I super interested in regency romance stories these days. However, I really ended up loving it! It’s such a fun show with some absolutely stunning settings and costumes. It does get a little (or a lot) risque at times, so make sure your kids aren’t watching it with you if you give it a go.
There’s romance, humor, mystery and a large and lovable cast of characters. The chemistry between the two leads really makes the show.

The hubs and I watched it together this week. I’m halfway through The Queen’s Gambit now.
What did your husband think of Bridgerton? I haven’t watched The Queen’s Gambit yet, but I’ve heard good things about it.
I need Netflix so bad! I want to watch this.
I think you would probably like this one! My brother said he was cancelling his Netflix account (which I use) at the end of the year, but I still have it so I’m hoping he forgot haha. If he does cancel it, though, I plan on signing up for maybe just a month at a time here and there for when new seasons of shows I like come out.
LOL. We have Disney+ right now. As soon as we’re done binging stuff on there, we might cancel and get Netflix. I hope you get to yse it for a bit longer.
I loved Bridgerton!
That makes me happy to hear!
I loved it sooo much 💗 just reviewed it
I’m glad to hear you liked it, too! I’ll need to check out your review!
I have a free trial out of Amazon prime and I’m binge watching greys anatomy. I’m on season 13.
I will give Bridgerton a try as you similarise it gossip girl. I wouldn’t have assumed the 2 would be in any way linked but I loved GG.

Grey’s Anatomy is one of the Shondaland series I haven’t watched yet. I might give it a try sometime. If you like that and GG, I think you’ll like Bridgerton!
