[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’d watch all 9 seasons. [/quote]
Yep. The fancy pps calling this trashy TV obviously haven't seen trashy TV.  [/quote]

I’m a PP who called it trashy.  I’m a fan of trashy Real Housewives shows, so I know all about trash.  I had high hopes that maybe this would be somewhat Jane Austen-ish, but I couldn’t have been further from the mark.  The writing is horrible and the sets are so Disney-like as to be cringeworthy.  Even my 16 year old daughter was disgusted and disappointed.[/quote]

Man I just do not understand how somebody could like real housewives but say they were disgusted by Bridgerton.

Also wasn’t it awkward watching those sex scenes with your 16-year old daughter??? Mine is only 11 so I’m not sure how I will feel in five years but I just can’t imagine. [/quote]

PP here. [b] I guess because RH is unapologetically trashy - it’s not trying to be anything it’s not.  Bridgerton was very much pretending to be an elegant, (semi) historical romance, [/b]when in reality, it was just a Disney-ish vehicle for poor writing and gratuitous sex scenes.  Which we didn’t know about, btw, until we watched it.  My daughter is fine with tasteful sex scenes, but this was way over the top - for both of us.  We only watched the first episode before crying uncle. [/quote]

No, it wasn't. I think you assumed it was. It was created by Shonda Rhimes, creator of Grey's Anatomy and Scandal. It was exactly what one would expect-- A romance that included the tropes of Regency romance novels, given the Shonda treatment.[/quote]
