The event series returns to Netflix this Thursday, May 16. Four episodes of Bridgerton season 3 are currently available on the streaming platform. We saw them before their release, here is our critical opinion.
We'll admit it without any shame: we missed the Bridgerton family, Netflix's guilty pleasure par excellence. This Thursday, May 16, fans of The Bridgerton Chronicle can finally find the phenomenal series (the two seasons appear in the top 10 most watched English-speaking series on the streaming platform) for its third season. Or at least part of it, since only 4 episodes are currently available to subscribers. In these first four episodes, fans of Julia Quinn's adaptation can finally discover a key romance of the literary saga, that of Colin and Penelope. nbsp;
Abbreviated as "Polin", this love story which responds to the trope of "friends to lovers" (friends who become lovers) is distinguished by the multiplicityé of her stakes: Penelope is not only particularly upset by the way in which Colin spoke; of her in front of her friends & the end of season 2, without knowing that the main interested party could hear it, but in addition the discreet Penelope is in reality Lady Whistledown, England's most widely read anonymous gossip, who doesn' denigrate members of high society; in his column. And the Bridgertons, in particular Colin and his sister Eloïse, have paid the price in the past. If that wasn't enough, Eloïse discovered the true identity of Eloïse. of her best friend and is now furious with her, this season 3 promises to be explosive. Added &agrav; This is the fact that fans waited two years before finding Netflix's most popular romantic series, we understand that the release of these new episodes is an event .
Ultimately, the execution turns out to be more complex. Fans will be delighted to rediscover the acidulous universe of clean &agrav; the series, which always operates at the same time. wonderful like a candy that we taste like a guilty pleasure. Those who hope to yearn for romantic (and often sexual) rapprochements will be served, and at least not. This title, the series seems to operate at its own pace. a return to basics with the first season, after a second season that is more chaste but also more conflictual and intense. In this season 3, we finally discover Francesca Bridgerton, fourth sister of the siblings previously pushed aside. due to busy schedule by its original performer, Ruby Stokes. With a change in casting (Hannah Dodd is perfect in the role), we finally discover more about this character and his plot is particularly pleasant to read. follow. The focus here is more on the plague of high society, Cressida, which acquires an appreciated depth and nuance.
The main flaw of this season 3 unfortunately lies in its main casting. If Nicola Coughlan (Penelope Featherington) continues to prove that she is probably one of the best actresses in the show's cast and has the space here for more, she's a good actress. bending the extent of his talent, this is not the case for his Luke Newton (Colin Bridgerton). The actor unfortunately lacks the charisma of Reg&Jean Page (Simon) and the passion of Jonathan Bailey (Anthony), and proves to be an interesté He's a rather bland lover in comparison. Without his partner, the main couple would probably lack chemistry and credibility. We are more curious to know when and how Penelope and Eloïse will reconcile than to follow the twists and turns (also quite limited) of this couple.
Furthermore, the series continues to suffer from major rhythm problems even within its episodes, which are sometimes very slow and very long. . Fortunately the universe is sufficiently colorful and entertaining to make subscribers want to continue. The start of season 3 of The Bridgerton Chronicle remains a pleasure that fans will not shy away from, even if these Episodes do not register, for the moment, as the best of the series. We will have to wait until June 13 to find out if the second part stands out more.
The Bridgerton family returns in 2024 for a third season. And this will be divided into two parts: the first four episodes of season 3 are available for viewing. discover since May 16. You will then have to wait a short month to discover the four episodes which will conclude season 3, put online on June 13.< /p>
Netflix has not chosen to follow the book timeline for season 3 of The Bridgerton Chronicles. The continuation of the series à success focuses on the romance between Colin Bridgerton and Penelope Featherington. Begun in season 2, it is therefore at the heart of season 3. However, they are only the protagonists of the fourth novel. The romance between Benedict and Sophie, which occupies the third novel, will therefore have to wait for a next season, but we do not yet know which one.
Netflix subscribers will soon be entitled to a double dose of Bridgertons. At the same time as season 3 was released, confirmed, the streaming platform announced that a season 4 was also in preparation. For the moment, we do not know its date release nor its plot. However, we must wait for confirmation from the production before knowing more, especially since it seems difficult to imagine a release of The Bridgerton Chroniclesseason 4 before 2024.
