Bridgerton is a period drama set in high society London that’s said to be comparable to Downton Abbey.
Netflix calls it “a romantic, scandalous, and quick-witted series that celebrates the timelessness of enduring friendships, families finding their way, and the search for a love that conquers all.”
It’s a romantic drama following eight close-knit siblings who are all searching for their own love story.
The main focus however is on Daphne Bridgerton, the eldest daughter of the family.
She enters the marriage market, though is sabotaged by her brother who rules out many potential suitors.
She soon meets the alluring Duke of Hastings, and though they deny they want anything to do with each other, it’s clear they have chemistry.
Marriage, courtship and sex are themes that feature throughout the series.
The show is based on Julia Quinn’s bestselling book series set between 1813 and 1827.
