#bridgerton 2x01

Full disclosure The Viscount Who Loved Me by Julia Quinn is one of my all time favourite books and Kate Sheffield my favourite heroine. I do not have high hopes for this season of Bridgerton.

What I liked:

- Benedict., Hyacinth, Violet Bridgerton, Penelope, Eloise, Edwina 

- The music

- Penelope and Eloise’s conversation in the flowers, especially on being a wallflower

- Violet letting everyone know the Viscount is in search of wife

- Kate letting Anthony know he isn’t all that

- How they showed Anthony’s stress

- Eloise, Anthony and Penelope pointing out the importance of books and reading

What was okay:

- The change in the Kate and Anthony meet cute

- Anthony is STILL NOT my Anthony but he’s doing a better job than I thought he would.

What I did not care for:

- Kate Sharma

- Kate Sharma emphatically letting us know that she is no way related to the Sheffields - pouring salt in the wound.

- Kate Sharma being rude to Lady Danbury and Violet Bridgerton

- The Queen but I didn’t much care for her last time

- The dog, and I usually love dogs so this pains me to say

I will forever be sad that the adaption is not closer to the book.
