Emily in Paris is perfect trashy TV. Bridgerton? It’s just flimsy and dull – Sydney Morning Herald
Storylines about female empowerment aren’t enough to compensate for the many flaws in this poorly scripted bodice-ripper.
A disapproving housekeeper frowns, purses her lips and shakes her head in every shot. A nasty neighbour brays and whinnies at her triumphs, which we know are likely to be short-lived, while her gaudy wardrobe loudly announces her terrible taste. The bitchy blonde is unremittingly bitchy. Theres a pair of gormless sisters who look like theyve stepped straight out of Cinderella.
Its got the frocks and the orgasms, but little of the subtlety or substance.
The heroine, doe-eyed English rose Daphne Bridgerton…
