but were any bodices ripped?
I'm way overdue a book update, but it will have to wait.
Season two of Bridgerton--to give context, I watched one episode of season one and thought, "Maybe?" And then never watched the rest. But the cast for season two seemed appealing, so I speed-watched the season one finale (lots of fast-forwarding) and moved on.
A lot of the watching was about the clothes. And the older women, who appear to be having a tremendously good time. Lady Featherington was a particular delight for the second half of season two. The younger crowd is less appealing: I find Eloise Bridgerton annoying, Collin insipid, and Anthony is something of a place-holder. I can't even be bothered to have thoughts on the rest of them, much less know their names. The Sharma family pleased me more, at least aesthetically.
So I don't exactly recommend it. It's like cotton candy, which is fun in moderation, but makes a bit of a sticky mess and is utterly forgettable--no strong flavor of its own beyond the sugary sweetness.
Currently rewatching Avatar: The Last Airbender, because I've only seen it once, and it's a show with solid plotting and character arcs.
Considering subscribing to Apple TV to watch Ted Lasso, Mythic Quest, Severance, Sanditon, and The Morning Show. I haven't seen any of these shows yet, but they piqued my interest in their descriptions, so... Anything else I should try on Apple?
