‘Bridgerton’ Season 3 Part 1 Review: Netflix Hit Swerves With Swoon-Worthy Book Changes

It feels like straying from the book order freed the Shondaland drama to make perfect changes and improve the story

“Bridgerton” might have finally hit its stride in Season 3. It’s not as if the Netflix juggernaut didn’t thrill and titillate in its first two seasons, which mostly faithfully adapted the first two books in Julia Quinn’s series of historical romance novels, but now it’s clear there was a sort of shimmer that hadn’t been found yet. Season 3 has that shimmer in spades, even in just its first four episodes.

The series follows the love lives of each of the eight Bridgerton siblings, each of whom has grown up in a loving, happy family tainted a bit by the shocking death of the Bridgerton patriarch a couple decades ago.

    Not what happened. Edwina left HIM at the altar (twice).
