[quote=Anonymous]I have mixed feelings about the first 4 episodes. I didn't love them. Some plot lines were better than others. Overall, I'd give it a B-.

SPOILERS AHEAD!!!

The bad:

Too many random characters detracting from the main story line. It feels like the show is trying to tell too many stories at once. Why on earth should I care about Francesca? Isn't this Pen/Colin's story line? Francesca has no personality and from what we do see, I certainly don't care enough to find out more about her. She is utterly boring. If she returned to the country to study music and we never see her again, it wouldn't even matter. It's also a bit jarring for Francesca to be played by a completely different actor. I understand why it happens, but for that character to now be such a main focus when they could've just focused on Pen/Colin instead is an odd choice for the show to make.

Not enough Eloise. It feels like we jumped from her debut right to Francesca's. She's been relegated to a side character and she's one of the few interesting ones.

It was stupid for Anthony and Kate to be present and then leave again. Lazy writing. I realize it probably had something to do with the actors' schedules but their decision to leave was inconsistent with their characters. Anthony goes from overbearing, super-serious, stress-burdened Viscount to freely walking away and putting the burden on others to enjoy an extended honeymoon? Come on.

Not enough Benedict. He was such an interesting character in Season 1 and it feels like he's been sidelined.

The Mondrich's story line seems unnecessary. They were the only working class characters in the entire show who weren't relegated to being servants. They were interesting and I liked their friendship with the Bridgertons.

The scenes jumped from one ball to the next. It actually got boring. Seasons 1 and 2 had more going on other than the balls.

The lighting was very weird. Some of the outdoor scenes were really badly lit, which doesn't make sense. Maybe it was intended to make it more glamorous?

Colin was a bit insufferable.

The good:

The costumes are beautiful.

The carriage scene.

The Queen, Lady D and Violet are enjoyable to watch.

I'm intrigued about the situation with Lady D and her brother--and his interest in Violet.

I found the Eloise/Cressida friendship interesting, and I liked seeing a different side of Cressida.

The Featheringtons are mildly amusing but even that got old after one episode.

And I realize the series is based on the books--and I know Francesca is a part of that--but they've already taken so much creative license in the series, why not streamline the characters and story lines? Might be a lot more interesting and consistent.[/quote]
