'Let the record show that I did not come to see Bridgerton Season 2 for the bodice-ripping or taut nipples; I came for the strong women.' A review of the new season by khalisaandco:

And yet, Kate, who longs to pursue a life on her own terms away from England, considers forfeiting that freedom for Anthony, which is, needless to say, disappointing. If Kate is going to risk it all for Anthony, we need him to work for it. In order for me to get off all hot and bothered, I needed the sexual tension I was presented to taste like more than fast food. The writers build a formidable fortress in Kate and allow her attraction to Anthony to be its demise.

All the Sharma women are much more vibrant than the initial boxes they are placed in. Each speaks multiple languages, has excellent manners, can dance, horseback ride, shoot, sew, and more.

Kate’s arc is Season 2’s central insult to its female characters of color, but worry not, there are others. WhileSeason 2 explores the unmarried lives of Lady Bridgerton and Mrs. Featherington, it fails to do so for Mary Sharma, Lady Danbury, and even Queen Charlotte .

The moments in Season 2 that left me breathless were not the fiery scenes between Kate and Anthony. Instead,came alive during Edwina’s monologue about self-actualization, when we see her go from the people-pleasing wallflower to the woman who knows what she wants and who she is. The show found its power when Lady Danbury and Lady Bridgerton’s refused to be broken by the town’s disapproval of their families.
