  1. i don't get this gender swap… i mean i just don't get what will it bring to the story. I mean Benedict & Sophie was already such an adventure to be together cause one was a maid, but here? same sex couple ? Francesca, get ready to say goodbye to your family for-ever XD

  2. Ummm I am not understanding this direction AT ALL. It literally makes no sense. In grief of her husband and not becoming a mom, let her get with her dead husband's cousin? Yeah no.

  3. I wanted it to be Eloise season 😭. And how are they going to make this relationship work in that time period? Are they just going to be in a secret relationship forever? Only family knows

  4. Phew, people love to insist they aren't bigots, but make one season of one TV series amongst hundreds about queer love and you've just gone and done it. These precious snowflakes CANNOT handle it.

  5. Not how the book is they need to stop with this woke agenda stick to how the books are how it's she going to be mom now she can't so stop redo it the right way

  6. 👎Thanks Bridgerton!In the original books by Julia Quinn, Francesca’s story is actually with Michael Stirling (A MAN), her late husband’s cousin. It’s a very emotional storyline about grief, loyalty, and slowly allowing yourself to love again.
    But the show Bridgerton decided to reinterpret that character as Michaela Stirling, turning it into a same-sex romance. Why? Why the fuck would they do that?😠 Francesca’s story in the books had a specific emotional weight, and changing that loses the whole magic. This adaptation ruined a story I loved.😢
