Talkie Tuesday: Queen Charlotte, a Bridgerton Story

 

"What matters madness when true love flourishes?"

 

Hello everyone!

 

Or should I say, dearest gentle reader?

 

That's right, a month after the release on Netflix, I finally sat down to watch this show over the weekend.

 

See I'm REASONABLY on time for this merry-go-round.

 

I'll admit that I was a little bit apprehensive, because my past experiences with anything coming out of Shondaland have been ... skewed, really.

 

Because while most of the time it's OKAY, it then starts to deviate a little from what you'd expect, and not in the best way possible.

 

To my intense surprise, however, I truly, deeply loved this one. Loved it to the point I'm actually considering re-watching it, which hasn't happened with any of the regular seasons thus far.

 

If that isn't an endorsement I don't know what is!

 

So let's find our best manners, and have a look at Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story.

Talkie Tuesday: Bridgerton

 

"All is fair in love and war."

 

Hello everyone!

 

Welcome back to the world of regency London and, er, questionable choices.

 

Editorial, make no mistake, as well as production choices.

 

Back during the heart of the pandemic, Netflix decided it was going to release what quickly became probably one of the most-watched shows of all time, and that's saying something since binge-watching is a thing.

 

Then they said they'd be coming back for season two.

 

And they did.

 

And I'm not okay with it.

 

Listen, I have thoughts, and this is my corner of the internet to share those thoughts. So strap into your stays and corsets and make sure you've got that money ready for the latest edition of Lady Whistledown's paper.

 

Because Bridgerton's second season was an even bigger doozy than the first.

I don't remember Kate being such an absolute bitch in the book.

Please have this turn around soon, I LOVED Anthony's story!

Talkie Tuesday: Bridgerton

 

"All is fair in love and war."

 

Hello everyone!

 

So continuing on with this month's trend, here's another series overview and recap from me to you, this time of one that dropped right at the tail end of 2020.

 

In the hopes of alleviating some truly awful moments of the year, Netflix gave us the Regency centered love story by Julia Quinn, and although there hasn't been any word yet about whether or not a season two is forthcoming, I think it's safe to say it might be.

 

After all, from all that can be seen and heard, this show was the most watched on Netflix at this time and it's saying a lot!

 

Make sure your stays are all in the proper position and that your tiaras aren't askew on top of your head.

 

It's time to be presented at court for the new season and to find a match.

 

In other words, its time for Bridgerton.

Reviews look good. Allons-y!

The Bridgertons (Booktober)

"Can there be any greater challenge to London’s Ambitious Mamas than an unmarried duke?"

Again here with a series, but every once in a while I really feel like mixing it up. In those cases, I go and pick up a book WILDLY different from something I'd read before. In this case, it would be Julia Quinn and her Bridgertons series. These books cover a family in Regency Era England, and all the nine kids are trying to find love in the ton. It's hilarious, there's a Corgi running amok, and of course there's also a figure similar to Gossip Girl.

Not everything makes perfect sense, but occasionally books don't need to make sense. They just need to make you laugh.

Once upon a time, a historical romance author created a family ...

But not just any family. Eight brothers and sisters, assorted in-laws, sons and daughters, nieces and nephews, (not to mention an overweight corgi), plus an irrepressible matriarch who’s a match for any of them … These are the Bridgertons: less a family than a force of nature, and through eight bestselling novels, readers laughed, cried, and fell in love ...
