Binge-worthy: Bridgerton 3 serves up satisfying and steamy friends-to-lovers romance

Luke Newton and Nicola Coughlan go down the well-trodden but satisfying path of the friends-to-lovers romantic trope in period romance Bridgerton's third season.

The show, which has been split into Part One and Two of four episodes each, is currently No. 1 on Netflix Singapore’s top 10 most-­watched series. Part Two premieres on June 13.Season 3 of Bridgerton shows why the friends-to-lovers trope may be old and well-trodden, but is ultimately oh-so-watchable.

Coughlan is fantastic too. The quiet desperation in a scene where she begs Colin to kiss her, just once, so she will not remain a spinster who has never been kissed, is heartbreaking. This season, the former besties still care for each other deeply, but are so divided in their beliefs, they can hardly be in the same room. Both Jessie and Coughlan play the pain of their platonic break-up well.
