For those who think Kate is not pretty, I think she's very pretty, just not a great casting combination with Anthony (also not great).
A better choice, imo, of look would have been someone like Priyanka Chopra who is more classically beautiful and has more screen-friendly features.

I know. Plus she has a smoker’s voice. She looks way older than Daphne and is supposed to be a teenager??

he wants a tame woman that he can control
Yes, plus, Kate is "on the shelf". In the book you know the mother isn't her real mother, but stepmother, which means she is not of noble birth and therefore less (if at all) acceptable. Edwina's mother is from a noble family, which makes her more acceptable to begin with.

Ewwww. There was no chemistry. Season 2 was dreadful. Daphne and Simon were loads sexier and more fun. Kate and Anthony were just an awful combo. Even looked bad together.
+1 I said this before the season even started. Kate doesn’t match with Anthony at all. Horrible casting.
What are you people talking about? How should they “match?” They’re two hot young people. They look great together. I don’t find the romance compelling but it’s not because of how they look.
I agree, and think they matched just fine.
Eh, they don't look good together. She is broader in the shoulders then he is. He is too tiny for her.
Yes! She looks like a horse!
+1 Horse face.
How? Sarah Jessica Parker has horseface not this lady.

In the book that scene is the inciting incident for them getting engaged and it's super weird. I was just so relieved they changed it. We don't need another "forced to marry because they get caught in a compromising position" plot.

I read all the books several times. Loved most of them. The first season was good and close enough to original story and realities regency period to be believable and yet updated and modern enough to add fun and sparkle.
Season 2 story line changes and the complete disregard for all Regency behavioral norms ruins the tale completely. The Indian angle is awful and makes no sense. The changes to the Pall Mall game made me want to cry - one if the funniest parts of the book(s) and they left those particular moves out except for a couple. Just an utterly disappointment.
Oh and Eloise is portrayed horrifically. She is dressed and coiffed as ugly as possible. Her “rebellion” is trite and far too modern. Eloise’s book was a bit dry but they have made her thoroughly unlikable in the tv show.
I have to agree.
Regency norms?

OMG. You are a weirdo. Lemme guess, you loved the tiny little white girl who was the lead in the first season.

Lady Danbury is my favorite. I thought it was hilarious when she kept calling out how they were behaving around each other.

I also really liked the actresses who played Lady Danbury, Lady Bridgerton, and the Queen. Maybe because I just turned 50, but I notice more "mature" actresses now and I thought they each had a lot more to work with this season. That one scene with the Queen brought tears to my eyes, as did a few scenes with Lady Bridgerton and Anthony.
I thought it was boring beyond belief but I agree with the rest of what you said. The actress playing Kate is beautiful and I thought she and Anthony did have chemistry it's just there was no story other than the obvious "they hate one another and will end up together." Everything was obvious and soooo drawn out.
