[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Try the Gilded Age. [/quote]

There was an assassination attempt this season- not sure if she meant no violence at all or light violence.[/quote]

I just meant no constant violence…or, like, torture, etc.

Is Gilded Age violent or traumatic?[/quote]
No. [/quote]

TGA revels in problems. If you're looking for a stress free show, TGA isn't it. The Bridgertons is light and fluffy and fun. [/quote]

Wut.

Gilded Age is pretty much the exact same stakes as Bridgerton in a slightly different historical setting and a bit more realism (but only a bit) in terms of historical accuracy. It's perfect for OP.

There is literally a plot line about how the new money family's butler needs to get tips from the old money family's butler to avoid making faux pas when the new money family hosts. Yes there are higher stakes storylines, but Bridgerton has those too. Who gets stressed out watching Gilded Age?![/quote]

I'm the PP and it does stress me out at times. The rich mother determined to control her daughter and son. The son of Christine Baranski scheming to marry money, then turning his mother into a pauper. I could go on.

My point is that if OP wants fluff like the Bridgertons (that is done very much like romance novel tropes--from which it came) that is a different level of issues. Nothing "bad" ends up coming to fruition in a Bridgerton romance or series episode in the way that TGA utilizes. It also shows the difference between someone like Julian Fellows creating and Julia Quinn/Shondra Rhimes creating. JF is much more in line with Sidney Sheldon, back in the day. [/quote]
