Right off the bat, the pace is much better, you don't feel rushed, and you get to understand the sudden emotional shift of the show. Bridgerton Season 3 Part 2 takes the time to give you a look into the character arc of every character, from Penelope & Portia's developing a mother- daughter relationship to even Francecsa feeling jealous of Penelope; the table has turned, and it's a beautiful view. The last four episodes might feel longer because, in between the steamy scenes, there is just so much stress and vulnerability; with the heavy weight of identity and lost souls finding a purpose, the season soars in not being too preachy with change. Penelope's confidence comes from Colin and vice versa. The show also stresses that ambitions don't have to take a back seat regarding love. Brdgeryon Season 3 also has enough of its shocking moments with another surprise wedding and a surprise end to the season. Lady Whistledown and The Queen finally meet under the most unusual circumstances, and the overall win of a wallflower feels personal.

This season feels more complete and results with Bridgerton as a series taking a more sincere look under the gossip and the pomp. It truly is the story of people living in the shadows; Anthony and Kate serve as great boosters trying to figure out life after their happily ever after. But it's Nicola Coughlan and Claudia Jessie who shine through and through. Cressida Cowper has the most surprising arc we've seen, but who's complaining? Luke Newton is adorable as the love-sick Colin, who worships the ground Penelope walks on. Taking second place are our dear friends Violet Bridgerton and Lady Danbury, it's the season where friendship triumphs over everything, and what an emotional but whistle-worthy end the last 3 minutes are.
