Read my spoiler-free movie review of Bridgerton – Season 3: Part 1 (2024).

---

I was forthcoming about my disappointment with part one of Bridgerton Season 3, the story of the love between Colin Bridgerton and Penelope Featherington. Thankfully, I’m relieved to confirm that part two is better, even though I wouldn’t say that it makes up for everything that didn’t work well with the first part.

The episodes are more engaging, and everything left unresolved in part one is smartly concluded. There’s also a moment or two of moving dialogue. Specifically when Colin finally tells Penelope how he sees her. 

Another highlight is all the gorgeous attire, particularly and surprisingly, the items worn by Colin and Anthony, plus Kate (Simone Ashley). I adored the colours and designs worn by Kate. Only the very best for the Viscountess, obviously. 

It may be the case that when I rewatch season 3 in preparation for season 4 in a couple of years, I’ll be less irritated by the disappointment of part one. Especially since Bridgerton Season 2 certainly shone more brightly at the second viewing, when I rewatched it in between parts one and two of season 3, as an antidote. 

Fingers crossed there’ll be no need to rewatch season two again to help erase a possible negative season 4 experience. And, considering all the story possibilities alluded to in the final episode of this season, something tells me that chances are, I have nothing to worry about, thanks to the new characters. 

Have you watched part two of  Bridgerton Season 3 yet? What do you think?

Happy Film Loving,
