I was so disappointed I loved the polin stuff it it could’ve been so much better they rushed every for stupid side plots nic and Luke deserved better and I honestly believe the way some scenes were filmed that they deleted a lot of stuff which makes me so sad for Luke and nic they worked so hard and for what to share their season with others if I wasn’t so into bts stuff I wouldn’t have known whose season it was that’s how little polin was in their season

I was so disappointed with Season 3 that I started ordering the books to understand better the difference between the books and the show. I don't follow Bridgerton news beyond KZread. I have not seen the full reactions on TikTok, Reddit, Instagram etc. I have watched perhaps over 50 reactions on KZread and perhaps read hundreds of comments.There are definitely people who love Season 3. In France it seems people genuinely like Season 3 while the folks coming from the Spanish speaking countries are very disappointed and mirror closely your reactions. But clearly, there must be a large percentage of unhappy and disappointed viewers, otherwise, Julia Quinn the author would not have posted her defense on Instagram. She urged people to "trust the showrunners." What showrunnerJess Brownell did well was bring importance to the Featheringtons. We really got to meet Prudence and Philippa. We saw a more humorous side of Portia. The romance between John and Francesca was beautiful. A lot of people responded positively to that couple. The charade game where Eloise and Penelope demonstrate how well they know each other was great. But the whole Colin and Penelope romance was like stale soda. Blech! Frankly, I was grateful to see the Mondrich's. I didn't care for Benedict's hedonistic threesomes on constant replay. Thank goodness the Mondrich's provided relief. The whole Lady Whistledown debacle was tiresome. It was tiresome in the book and tiresome in the show. I did not like that Eloise continued this long grudge with Penelope. And Colin was odious in the book and the show. At least in the show Colin wasn't "yanking" Penelope the way he does in the book. In the book Colin is lukewarm about his feelings for Penelope. He likes her. She is comfortable, but great love? I don't know. Certainly, I did not see much improvement in Colin in the show. I'm not blaming the actor. I think he did not receive the right cues or right script. As for Francesca's story, the title of her book is "When He Was Wicked." That book is about Michael Sterling and his transformation from being a first order rake and his journey to becoming the man Francesca will go on to marry and have children with. I am so weary of the gaslighters who insist the gender switch to Michaela will have no impact. Whatever Michael did or does, Michaela can do. So they say. But of course this is not true. So the showrunner not only intends to introduce a queer/sapphic romance, but she also wants to erase the premise for "When He Was Wicked." Michaela cannot experience Michael's journey. Even if the story were cast in the 21st century there would always be a difference between men and women because they experience life and existence differently. I know people don't want to hear this, but biology is an immutable characteristic that shapes our destiny. Deal with it. So the showrunner thinks she is being too cute by half by going overboard and giving us the John Stirling and Francesca story. It was very lovely, but "When He Was Wicked" is about Michael Stirling not John Stirling. When Francesca is introduced to Michaela, Michaela does not immediately understand that Francesca is the bride. Then she proceeds to make some odd comment about her reputation being worse than whatever John has said about her. Then she has a weird smug look on her face. Is this supposed to mean Michaela is a womanizer, and that she has "caught a lot of bodies?" Michaela is a Black woman played by actress Masali Baduza. The so-called "Great experiment" is supposed to be in effect. Lady Danbury gave Simon Bassett, Duke Hasting an earful about his duty to reproduce. So is Michaela supposed to be a woman of ill repute and get away with it like Lady Tilley? I guess Michaela could regale Francesca with her stories about her sapphic erotic adventures. But it's usually men who lead these raucous lives. So what happened to Michaela who should have been raised to be a proper lady who should marry and bring forth future generations? Like I said "The Great Experiment", a worldbuilding concept Shondaland created, is still in effect. Whatever else can be said about Francesca, or more specifically Netflix/Shondaland Francesca, she cares about social convention, otherwise she would not have pestered her mother to get the Queen's approval. Francesca may not enjoy all the noise and chaos of family life, but she certainly enjoys the privilege that comes from being in an aristocratic family. She likes pretty dresses. She likes to play her piano forte. She loves her mother. She doesn't complain about participating in the debutant balls the way Eloise did. If the writers had included Francesca was caught kissing the cook or her lady in waiting, then I could see introducing a queer romance. Even then, Francesca would still want to marry to secure her position and presumably have children. Violet Bridgerton may preach about love, but Lady Featherington has often repeated the importance of marriage as a safety net and love does not enter the equation. My point is why on earth did the showrunner erase Michael Sterling? I could see Francesca having a sapphic/queer romance in a "happy for now" romance as she continues to grieve. You know, best friend (Michaela) comforts poor Francesca and stuff happens... But I would expect both women, and if not both, then Francesca to eventually pursue a conventional and practical path whether they are queer or not. I could see a heartbreaking story where two lovers have to reconcile their feelings for each other with duty. This is the situation that was depicted in the break up scene between Lady Agatha Danbury and Lord Leger. He reminds her that her reputations is of critical importance.Supposedly, Scotland has different inheritance rules. Maybe the showrunner will take advantage of Scottish rules concerning irregular marriages and allow Black Michaela to inherit Johns' wealth. You know, I'm not buying any of this. The key to Bridgerton's success is that they adhere to the spirit of the books. They play around with race and ethnicities. They take liberties with costumes, make-up and sequencing. Sometimes they add or combine characters. In the book Penelope has a younger sister Felicity who does not appear on the show. Fine. But they keep the love pairing as they are in the book. That is except for one of the most popular Bridgerton books "When He Was Wicked." Has the showrunner gone mad? I have seen a lot of comments where people clamor for queer representation, meaning a Bridgerton protagonist who is queer. I am sure this is what the showrunner means when she says she wants a Queer Bridgerton romance. Okay fine. Why not introduce a Bridgerton cousin? They did it before when they introduced cousin Marina Thompson to the Featheringtons. So why not introduce cousin Iris Bridgerton just in time to attend the Colin and Penelope wedding. Maybe she can stick around for the Bridgerton masked ball and meet her true love when Benedict does? Maybe she can be part of the next line up of debutants and kiss some ladies or maids out on the terrace while sipping lemonade. Apparently, those bushes out back get a lot of action - of the amorous kind. A lot of crazy stuff happens at these parties. I mean women get naked -- or close to it. Maybe Colin could give her the keys to his flat or Benedict can let her hang out in his love shack cottage. There are so many ways the showrunner could introduce a queer character and have fun with it. Why destroy an already established and cherished love story that is part of the Bridgerton canon? Yeah, yeah, yeah Jess Brownell "identifies" with Francesca. She's a changeling. I repeat. Has the showrunner gone mad? Maybe the showrunner secretly hopes Bridgerton will not get renewed for subsequent series. Maybe Season 3 is the showrunner's hari kari? This is self sabotage. But if that is what the showrunner has in mind and the executive producers stand there and let her do it, then I will shed no tears nor cry in lamentation. Bridgerton was a grand experiment. But maybe it's time to say goodbye.

I haven’t even watched the 2nd half of season 3. I decided I’m done with the series. I can’t deal with all the side stories that have nothing to do with the book. I wish that lady Danbury had been expanded in other series, and Queen Charlotte eliminated. Lady D was more impactful on the book, I loved her bitchiness, 🤣I mean IRL Charlotte had serious issues in her family to deal with. If they wanted to add a person who makes an impact why not add Beau Brunel or the Prince regent, they did make or brake people in society. The Queen didn’t give AF. Thank you for the video

I disappointed 😔 in season 3 to many side stories

Aww this was disappointing, I liked season 3.
