3 things I hated about Bridgerton (and 2 I liked)

The way I see it, Bridgerton is a story about a market of young girls available for men. Their future depends on how well they can attract a male.

The main characters are the Bridgerton family. Daphne reached the age to marry. Her wedding will influence the whole family, including her sisters’ future. Yet, Daphne’s father died, and she depends on her older brother - an arrogant idiot. Well, in his defense, most of the characters are annoying. Appearances are everything and don’t even make me talk about the Duke’s father.

So, what did I hate the most about this show?

1. Predictability

The whole thing was predictable. That arrangement between Daphne and Duke? Wasn’t it obvious how it would end?

The Duke is a slightly arrogant fool, with daddy issues, but quite fun nonetheless. Daphne was desperate for attention. So, their falling in love was painfully obvious from the first minute.

The happy ending! Yes, they had a baby, and they will now be happily ever after. Couldn’t you see that coming?

2. Lady Whistledown

Lady Whistledown has two major roles in the show - to be a mystery and to be funny. She fails in both.

Yes, she has a slightly funny way to talk, but sometimes she can also be very annoying! And about the mystery… Didn’t you think about Penelope? From some point, it felt quite evident that she could be Lady Whistledown.

3. I laugh!

At first sight, this would be a good thing, right? I enjoy the fact that it made me laugh. The problem is that I don’t think this show was supposed to be a comedy. So, I’m not sure that’s an actual good thing.

Some scenes were simply too ridiculous to keep a serious face.

Yet, not everything is terrible in Bridgerton. There was a couple of things I enjoyed.

1. Feminists

Penelope and Eloise are a bit ahead of their time with their feminist ideals, which was fantastic. Especially Eloise brings a freshness to the show and the theatrical romance in the story.

Daphne isn’t exactly a feminist, but she has a place here too. She is quite assertive, and she knows what she wants and fights for it.

2. Race isn’t important

The way the show was made was beautiful on this subject. There are people from different races amongst the nobility. Obviously, this wasn’t real life, but the show is not about how it was, but how it could have been. I truly liked that part.

Conversations with a Killer: The Ted Bundy Tapes

This is not the sort of show which I usually talk about on this blog. However, as a psychologist, I’m usually quite curious in regards to criminals and their minds; and one of these days I started watching this documentary on Netflix . Taking into consideration the kind of thing this is, I can’t say I ‘liked’ it. I mean what you see in there is nothing to like, but I was rather terrified, which is probably the usual response. Nonetheless, it was definitely a good documentary. The eyes of a killer Everything displayed in this story was terrible. The descriptions, Bundy’s posture, everything seemed like some sort of horror show, putting into perspective what we may consider to be lucky or unlucky in this life. Before I even start watching it, I read somewhere that this was the kind of thing you shouldn’t watch alone. Sounds accurate right now. At the time, and considering my, mostly academic, experience, I didn’t think that this could actually be so upsetting.

Young Sheldon – A Heartfelt and Hilarious Journey

Young Sheldon is a delightful surprise, blending humor, heart, and a touch of nostalgia. As a prequel to The Big Bang Theory , the show offers insight into the childhood of Sheldon Cooper, one of the most iconic characters in modern TV. A Show That Grows Beyond Sheldon While you may start watching due to curiosity about Sheldon's early years, it soon becomes clear that this is not just about his childhood. The show includes an incredible variety of characters with their own charm and depth.

Especially in its last seasons, the show becomes a touching portrayal of small-town life, family dynamics, and personal
