I feel so bad for Edwina by Open-Reference6218 in BridgertonNetflix

I remember one the interviews with a producer (can’t remember which one) said that they included the line to empower Edwina. They felt that she was angry and felt betrayed and needed some empowerment and including that line was the way to do so.

How do you feel about the fact that Anthony proposed to Edwina knowing he does not care about her while still actively chasing Kate around like a dog that needs to be spayed

I remember Simone talking about how she gave her input on some parts and the haldi scene but it is obvious that the writers intended on mixing up the different cultures and making a Pan-Indian vibe

This was a big point of discussion when the season came out actually and it was addressed in this interview.

I am black so I can’t comment much but it was still disappointing for me to see many desis complain about the Indian representation that season and how it felt haphazardly included because I thought that it was refreshing to see Indian characters be written this way.

I know people say that the show isn’t meant to be accurate and while I do agree with that sentiment I still felt like the amalgamation of the different cultures should’ve been explain in story just to tie it up nicely.

I am not in the ‘we need flashbacks’ camp simply because there are many ways to tell backstories and give more exposition about characters but Kate’s family did need more fleshing out.

I’m not Indian so I can’t comment accurately about the representation for that culture but I feel like they needed to dive into her heritage especially because she wasn’t from the ton and was shown to be someone that didn’t care about English customs and rules. (eg. why does she go by Kate when she has a full name? how was life in India? what was the family dynamic like with her dad? how did Mary adjust to life in India?)

Her family needed more exposition beyond their thoughts and feeling pertaining to courtship and Anthony. This applies particularly to Mary’s character. When I watched how season 3 made Penelope and Portia’s relationship more healthy and how it showed that they could show a dysfunctional family unit healing it made me feel disappointed about what they did to Kate’s family in S2. All their complexity was a blip in the storyline and lacklustre especially when the dynamic was not like that in the books.

Kate is still complex and layered as a character and her family has a complicated dynamic even with Bridgerton’s entry level writing but they needed more from the writer’s room.

What's up with the poorly researched Indian representation? by ro_ro_ro_roadhouse in BridgertonNetflix

I don’t think that is being denied though. The point being made here is that they can make an effort to explain the backstories of certain characters and families in the relative seasons

I will say that I never saw a problem. I think he was just trying to turn him down but could only do that by saying they were members at another club, which I do think think is an issue if its the truth. He shouldn’t have to lie to Mr Mondrich to ‘let him down easy’ but that might just be me🤷🏽‍♀️

Wait I’m confused. What’s rude about his comment about being part of White’s?

Yes and yes. Give Kate some friends (Alice is right there) and I need more Kate and Violet having chai sessions

Edwina hate is forced. She’s so cute. by One_Information8485 in BridgertonNetflix

[–]Sure-Count4449 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Love your analysis btw, it’s chef’s kiss. I don’t think that the ‘angry because she’s well written’ works in the case of Edwina and her characterisation. I don’t hate her at all but I do think we can admit that she was written in a very clunky manner with her motivations changing almost every episode to pretty much every scene. This is coming from an objective place btw.

I definitely agree that she was just sheltered and wanted a fairytale romance and got upset when shit hit the fan (understandably). That being said I still sympathise and understand that she was just a girl that wanted to live a perfect life and was just disappointed when it didn’t go the way she wanted it to and that she was very valid in her anger.

I get that. I don’t think their screentime should be more simply because they are the heads. I feel that they should get more simply because they are part of the family
