I managed to finish it but could have easily done without the last 3 episodes. There was nothing happening and Kate and Edwina were super boring. Even the Gilded Age was better.

I agree. I would have preferred more of their 'happy ending' vibes versus all the friggin Featherington stuff. Other than Penelope I can do without so much of them.

Bailey is a phenomenal actor. The flashback scenes really got me.
I hated the way they just ran at each other when they started kissing, in two different scenes , instead of doing some slow seductive thing. But generally I think they had good chemistry
Same, didn’t like how they collided but thought that might’ve been the direction or possibly the actress.
+1 it just looked very awkward to me. Compared to Anthony and Sienna last season.

Nope. They didn’t. Awkward is oral sex while leaning against a ladder almost fully clothed. Talk about forced and lacking.

I thought the chemistry was great. Didn’t look awkward at all to me.

They really didn’t.
True, and I think it’s for the best. Any time an actor leaves between seasons and the story over-explains the absence it’s just distracting and draws more attention to the absence.
He wasn’t missed by me. The Duke may be physically more attractive than Anthony, but Jonathan Bailey’s acting is superior. He gave more than this role required and sold his character’s yearning for Kate.
I totally agree! I was impressed with how much he put into the role. The Duke was completely unconvincing -zero chemistry.
It is even clearer how true this is because I just rewatched several season one episodes. THe chemistry is totally different. The Duke is so handsome and that’s why it is so watchable but there is literally no other reason. Bailey gives an amazing performance and the chemistry is just off the charts in the second season. The difference is really stark.
I recall watching the scene when the Duke delivers his “I burn for you” line and thinking, what? There was zero indication he felt that way.
Every word by Anthony/Bailey is believable. Loved season 2.

Bailey himself has said he is gay. However, if you’ve seen him interviewed with Simone Ashley (Kate) you’ll see they have mad friend chemistry which typically translates very well on screen, as it did here.
