[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So far in Season 4 I've caught a deaf guy who signs, and Sophie's maid friend Hazel is missing a hand. I am glad people with disabilities are getting acting work that isn't centered around their disability.

My acting pet peeve is when a male/female couple is starting to get it on and the female actress acts like she's five seconds away from .... her pinnacle shall we say, when all the male actor has done is kiss her neck. It takes a hell of a lot more foreplay than that. (This happened a lot in the Fifty Shades trilogy also.) [/quote]

I do think a major factor on Bridgerton is that they REALLY invest in the part of the love story where the couple really, really wants each other but are not actually even allowed to touch. That's where it being a period show comes into play. In a contemporary romance, the idea that someone would be overcome with pleasure at merely being touched by someone is silly. But in Regency London among the gentry, where marriage was tightly controlled and there were a lot of rules about when men and women were allowed to even be alone in the same room together much less touching one another, I actually do buy that people were, like, ecstatic after 5 seconds of foreplay. A huge part of the sexiness of Bridgerton is premised on these people being all hot and heavy for each other but having to make do with, like, a single passionate kiss and then weeks of furtive glances over teacups.

Some of these women absolutely would be brought close to, uh, their pinnacle, within five second. I believe it.[/quote]
