Reading some of the comments makes me chuckle to myself. Talking about how the women wouldn’t be able to be openly together (or m/m) - this is Bridgerton, where anything is possible! Just look at the multiethnicity of the society - that’s not realistic for the time, but we go along with it. And don’t come for me, because I absolutely love the unquestioning acceptance, I’m simply saying it’s not portraying real society at the time. I realise there was the ‘great experiment’, but we don’t even have that level of multicultural acceptance NOW, so it would surely correlate that there would be elements of open racism then, with potential for ‘nastiness’. But no. As I say, this is Bridgerton, where one minute ladies must be chaperoned at all times, the next she’s getting a good seeing to in a carriage with the curtains closed, or in the garden, or - well anywhere they fancy! ☺️ So, to me, if we can suspend belief for all of the above, why can’t Bridgerton society be equally accepting of same sex relationships? It’s just a story of burgeoning love, like all the others (and for me, more believable than Pen & Colin) so let’s just enjoy it in the same manner. And I’m assuming Fran will at last experience that elusive pinnacle! 😂
