Penelope Featherington and Francesca Bridgerton against a colorful background of the Bridgerton books.
Summary I don't think Bridgerton season 3 lived up to its book counterpart, Romancing Mr. Bridgerton. The season has impressive numbers, including landing on Netflix's all time most viewed shows list in less than three months. Rotten Tomatoes gave the season an 87%, while the audience score was 76%, the highest of all three seasons. I really enjoyedBridgerton season 3, but I did find some issues with it, such as the surprising focus on Cressida Cowper.
The Problem With Bridgerton's Colin and Penelope Colin And Penelope Are Not As Well Written As Their Book Counterparts Bridgerton season 3 reminded me of a crucial fact: the show's characterizations of Colin Bridgerton and Penelope Featherington fell flat. While Nicola Coughlan and Luke Newton are perfect for the roles, the traits they display in the show don't match what's established in the book.
Bridgerton actually turning Penelope into someone "mean, petty, and jealous" effectively defeats the purpose of her character, meaning the show had to fix Penelope so that the audience could find her likable enough to root for her. As for Colin, the first two seasons did not give him a deep personality. In the books, Colin is funny and charming; he always knows how to cheer up someone, and he is perceptive. However, his show counterpart did not portray any of these qualities.
Season 3 Saved Colin And Penelope For Future Bridgerton Seasons There Is More Potential For Colin And Penelope's Individual Characters Close Although Bridgerton season 3 did not live up to my expectations, the season still ended on a hopeful note that leaves room for further character development. Now that Penelope is writing under her own name, she can hold herself accountable and learn how to critique the ton without weaponizing her column.
