[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a hard time with period pieces that ignore race issues of the past. So why are the costumes accurate but literally everything else that they culturally display is total fiction. Why not just make it happen today? Looks very dumb. [/quote] It’s stylized. Not meant to be exactly historically accurate.[/quote] +1 I guess pp watches Grey's Anatomy for an accurate portrayal of American medicine. Or Scandal for an accurate portrayal of American politics. Or any of dozens of King Arthur movies/ tv series as accurate portrayals of 5-6th century Britain. In Bridgerton, Regency England functions as an interesting setting to tell a romance story. And another pp pointed out, as an romance novel turned tv series (a genre which conventionally appealed to women), it's being held to a higher standard when its no more historically inaccurate, formulaic, and full of unrealistic plot devices than other comparable works.[/quote]
