Bridgerton (2020)
A feast for the eyes but somewhat one note
Bridgerton is a visually appealing period drama that is unashamedly lavish, gaudy and modern. Costume and set design, while likely to anger those who care for historical accuracy in their period dramas, are fabulous and over the top. The cast is diverse and the score is filled with string quartet interpretations of modern hits.
Despite the flashy visuals I found he almost singular focus on the romantic relationships of characters became dull after a while. I think some more developed subplots could have helped keep my interest.
Bump (2021)
Enjoyable series, great supporting characters
An enjoyable series with well rounded characters and and great supporting cast. Karvan and Sampson in particular put in compelling and entertaining performances as Oly's mother and father.
My enjoyment of the series was somewhat hampered by the main character, Oly. Oly is an ungrateful, self righteous know-it-all in a way that is not uncharacteristic of a teenager. As the main character however these traits grated on me, especially in the last few episodes.
