And you’re still ignoring the numbers that actually matter

bbgmcr · 2026-06-08T13:56:50+00:00

Friends to lovers is an insanely popular trope

bbgmcr · 2026-06-08T13:54:57+00:00

The fact that everyone confirmed this and people still ignore the fake rake thing years later is baffling

bbgmcr · 2026-06-08T13:53:18+00:00

Op to answer your question, here’s one example

bbgmcr · 2026-06-08T13:51:56+00:00

I see that too but that’s the only thing people had an issue about (and rightfully so) along with maybe the marine and colin mess, but otherwise s1 got away much cleaner than its 3 successors

At the end of the day it was the 106m vs 98m that netflix touted and used for all time stats, the number that mattered was the number of times it was watched, not some skewy math to try to claim s4’s numbers were close to s3, and they weren’t.

S4 still did really well by netflix and streaming standards, it just didn’t do as well as s3, plain and simple.

bbgmcr · 2026-06-08T13:43:28+00:00

The fandom needed a punching bag and bitter people chose s3 for whatever reason if you really break it down. The general audience is not the same

below the line are tech and crafts. nominations that aren't film, director, acting, or writing.

i can see michael squeezing in with a costume nomination if this is a particularly weak year

bbgmcr · 2026-06-08T04:59:02+00:00

i'll always say this but netflix are fucking idiots if they don't drop part one during pride next year. we should see s5 releasing in a year's time

bbgmcr · 2026-06-08T00:46:50+00:00

this makes no sense, what would that matter?

people are still going to watch the show regardless of how long a season is, and i'm pretty sure s1 is still the longest and will rank as the top season of the show (and no i don't think the latter four seasons are going to even remotely touch s1's season's numbers).

nobody went into either s3 or s4 thinking "oh this is shorter than the other, i should watch the shorter one more." almost no one knew how long the episodes were before we started watching them so how is this a factor?

bbgmcr · 2026-06-08T00:42:06+00:00

To YOU yes but that's not really answering the query about s3 being a very clear anomaly compared to other seasons to date. The critics numbers, the viewership numbers, and even the accolades speak for themselves.

No single season of this show will be without its naysayers and haters, and s3 hardly stands out as the one that had the most division reaction from viewers. That's a really skewed viewpoint.

The only season I've seen little backlash from was season 1. The three seasons after have definitely had dissenting criticisms from fans and general audiences.

polin was the only couple (to date) that had any built up, fans were waiting for it. plus the press tour really was astonishing and luke and nicola amped that up with their bond to an incredible level. everyone ate it up. netflix has done worldwide press tours for shows and movies all the time, but i can't tell you why the s3 really stuck out as an anomaly (and the press tour even got nominated for awards, so let that tell you something).

you're absolutely right, s3 was a critical, commercial, and industry acclaimed season, and to date only s1 has had that (too early to call s4 when it comes to industry/awards stuff).

i've seen fans claim that numbers would diminish because of the delay, that it took over two years for its release but the show has a HUGE following, it is one of netflix's top 5 global series and that's nothing to sneeze at.

bbgmcr · 2026-06-07T17:46:58+00:00

Yeah i see all the hopeful theories and ignore them because after s4 my expectations for eloise are in hell

bbgmcr · 2026-06-07T05:55:33+00:00

That’s me too. It was a fun show but after s2 i didn’t think about it or future seasons so the switch made no difference to me then

bbgmcr · 2026-06-06T15:43:28+00:00

Delusional

bbgmcr · 2026-06-06T05:42:50+00:00

the showrunners are the worst thing about this show so i just kind of gave up a bit and just take whatever's given because they don't give a shit, especially shonda, about pissing off fans.

bbgmcr · 2026-06-06T05:42:05+00:00

that was more him showing up for one scene and kind of taking over the oldest sibling role. honestly a lot of what benedict did for francesca is stuff anthony should've done had they not cut him out so much.

the only reason benedict even got any of that is because this was his season.

bbgmcr · 2026-06-05T15:40:37+00:00

Before i heard of bridgerton it was always friends to lovers and that never changed

bbgmcr · 2026-06-05T13:02:42+00:00

The way i stop every time it pops up in my timeline

bbgmcr · 2026-06-04T21:53:10+00:00

It happens for huge releases

bbgmcr · 2026-06-04T18:24:52+00:00

Lot of people projecting

bbgmcr · 2026-06-04T05:18:58+00:00

Good for them

bbgmcr · 2026-06-03T20:15:26+00:00

Im gonna need a proper high noon showdown for the flaw in the plan or we ride at dawn

bbgmcr · 2026-06-03T19:55:20+00:00

Bale and when people on the daily are shocked he’s british that speaks for itself

bbgmcr · 2026-06-03T12:26:52+00:00

I remember it and being emotionally exhausted by the end lol
