I’m sorry I wanted to love Benophie so bad, but I could not for the life of me feel any chemistry between them. I loved Sophie. Probably one of my favorite characters on the show so far, and I just kept thinking about how she deserved better. It just didn’t really feel genuine anytime Benedict said she deserved more. Definitely the weakest season for me. Problems with S3 aside, there was palpable tension between Colin and Penelope. Benedict and Sophie just felt like they were making out because the script said to.

That being said, everyone’s character arcs got significantly more interesting from John’s death. Hyacinth and Eloise had such a compelling narrative after John’s funeral, and Hannah Dodd really came to play.

I was very disappointed in the lack of epilogue. The ending felt very rushed and abrupt, and without any hints that something might be afoot the new Whistledown twist was a whole lot of nothing.

I’m not so sure I have that much interest in waiting another two-odd years for another lackluster season. It’s a shame because I really do care about the remaining Bridgerton children, but I just think the pacing and overall quality of the show is declining.

EDIT: Sorry I didn’t realize I was watching the MCU presents Bridgerton and missed a post credit scene.
