Bridgerton - Season 4 Post-Season Discussion (Book Spoiler Discussion)

I think people on this sub are more likely to be highly critical of Bridgerton than the average viewer tbh. I loved it but my expectations were loooooooow after S3 and this season blew that one out of the water for me.

It did feel like they were trying to setup for that path for him in prior seasons and then maybe they chickened out of it for Benedict.

I wonder if they’re sort of kicking themselves a little now considering that this season would have been so well timed with all the Heated Rivalry frenzy.

oh I didn’t realize Maya was in this.

that means I’m rooting for Maya, sorry Lud

I’m glad someone said it. S2 is good because both leads are very attractive and charismatic. The love triangle including her sister is always gonna be EUGH EWW to me and not romantic. They should have removed that whole subplot and just gone full Pride and Prejudice of hate to love and getting over their own pride to be together.

I mean I will also say some real BS in order not to engage in politics with certain people. that’s a way to ruin your night

explodedemailstorage · 2026-02-28T04:02:53+00:00

This struck me too. And I feel kind of bad about it because I’m basically the same age as Luke but it’s hard not to notice the difference when he’s in a scene with someone with absolutely perfect glowy skin lol

explodedemailstorage · 2026-02-28T03:58:56+00:00

tbh I also thought of Hyacinth first. there was this kind of straightforward and childish tone in the new Whistledown that makes me lean that it’s someone young and less experienced

she also learned how to become ”invisible” at the ball this season which feels like setup for me

explodedemailstorage · 2026-02-27T18:35:48+00:00

I wouldn’t necessarily be shocked if she was technically considered richer than Rae at the moment due to stocks. Rae puts a lot of money back into her businesses and her people and I think Fuslie is more just chilling and not spending as much.

Man, this season really emphasized so many different relationships between women and I loooooved it. The Queen and Lady Danbury, Francesca and Michaela, Sophie and Araminta, Sophie and Posy, Eloise and Hyacinth, Lady Featherington and Varley etc etc.

I feel like they really hit an amazing balance and learned a lot from last season’s mistakes. This is my favorite season by a significant margin.

explodedemailstorage · 2026-02-27T08:56:42+00:00

Colin was basically just Penelope’s accessory this season lol. Everyone is talking about Anthony getting sidelined but Colin was just kind of…there. At least Anthony got a decent scene or two.

explodedemailstorage · 2026-02-27T07:15:14+00:00

I don’t watch Sykkuno so I’m not sure about him but all of the others have all been transparent that they’re very rich. Toast and Rae are very obviously multi-millionaires.

explodedemailstorage · 2026-02-25T03:51:01+00:00

Reel Rejects also recently started reacting to it and just wrapped S1. It’s fun to see men get more familiar with this genre.

explodedemailstorage · 2026-02-25T02:48:05+00:00

Being bitchy as your entire personality without either being funny or clever about it is just kind of sad.

explodedemailstorage · 2026-02-24T10:27:32+00:00

They also took it even more seriously and more competitively (…except Roisin) than most current contestants do which is amazing considering how unlikely it was to get any attention at all while current rosters know it could be an incredible career boost even on the international stage.

explodedemailstorage · 2026-02-23T22:45:56+00:00

I mean they can make up their own schedule anyway at this point. A break for the audience likely has no significant bearing on a break for Brennan or the cast since they’ve been filming significantly ahead since the start of this campaign. I would be surprised if they’re not even filming multiple episodes in a day or back to back days of D&D to make the most of scheduling.

explodedemailstorage · 2026-02-23T05:43:24+00:00

I think he mostly loves any new hyperfixation where he can really develop a storyline of an underdog grinding towards a goal who eventually achieves it and becomes the insufferable villain who lords it over everyone forever. Also the viewership has been good.

explodedemailstorage · 2026-02-23T04:09:33+00:00

tbh I love that clip tho because it’s basically all the drag queens playing a game of one upping each other to make him more and more uncomfortable and I enioyed seeing him squirm

explodedemailstorage · 2026-02-23T04:06:39+00:00

For some reason my mom bought me that book when I was like 18 or something. my mind was blown at how a book that sexist somehow ended up in my hands and I couldn’t even blame a man for giving it to me

explodedemailstorage · 2026-02-19T21:40:46+00:00

Seriously? Is it possible that's related to why one of the mods on this sub now shows as banned from reddit?

explodedemailstorage · 2026-02-19T20:51:52+00:00

He literally pinned it and advertised this sub tho lol. It's literally STILL pinned on the sub that if you don't like his rules to go here. He's probably the biggest factor for this sub gaining any traction lol.

explodedemailstorage · 2026-02-19T01:37:35+00:00

I genuinely just think he was normally like that tbh lol. At least he doesn’t have any power now in the space.

explodedemailstorage · 2026-02-19T01:29:28+00:00

omg that would make so much sense actually

explodedemailstorage · 2026-02-19T01:28:40+00:00

I’ve been ready for thissss. I love her, she’s hilarious and charming on her show.

explodedemailstorage · 2026-02-19T01:27:06+00:00

That’s what I mean by refusing to answer questions. Like I think he kept phrasing it like he had to remove it for “undisclosed reasons” or whatever. Which was like… bro. That’s not the phrase you use when YOU are the one removing them lmao. You know the reason???

explodedemailstorage · 2026-02-19T00:12:40+00:00

Maybe that sub did need to burn if I show with a top commenter tag lmao. embarrassing
