Dearest gentle reader,

Did you miss Bridgerton?

As the members of our esteemed ton lazily sojourned in their Netflix queues between seasons (and the Queen Charlotte spinoff), this author was doing but one thing… honing my skills. Or should I say… hatching my plans? No, even better… I was sharpening my knives.

Season 3 focuses on the romance between third Bridgerton son Colin and his childhood friend Penelope Featherington (secretly Lady Whistledown, author of the local scandal sheet). It also focuses on third Bridgerton daughter Francesca, who is much more demure than her siblings.

But as we know, the brighter a Netflix show shines, the faster it may burn.

The shows we love have the power to inflict the greatest scars, for what thing is more fragile than the human heart. Did you enjoy the season? Do you think the romances and other storylines worked? Any favorite scenes or lines?
