One day, Violet Bridgerton gets her dates mixed up and organises a garden party on the same day as the annual game of Pall Mall. She does not realise what she has done, until she gets angry letters from her children demanding she change the date of her party. She is unable to do so as the invitations have already been sent, and Anthony point blank refuses to push the game back by even an hour. 

That is the day the entirety of the ton witnesses the Bridgerton brood put all family allegiances aside, as they play the most violent game of Pall Mall ever seen. 

The best part of Bridgerton, is the working/lower middle class character’s constant confusion over what exactly rich people deem a ‘problem.’

Anthony: Do you know anyone who can teach me to play the trumpet?

Simon: No. Why?

Anthony: I want to annoy Daphne’s suitors away

Simon: Technically you don’t actually need to know how to play it for that

Anthony: You have opened my eyes Simon Basset, Duke of Hastings

I published my first article talking about the romance between Simon and Daphne and the flaws I found within their relationship. I still love them, I just wanted to give my opinion on some of the things that I would have liked to see the show do differently when it came to developing their happily ever after. Please give it a read if you ever get the chance, if not that’s perfectly fine.
