Bridgerton (serial)

Season 1

The edgy and modern version of Downton Abbey. The Bridgerton Family (3 boys, 3 girls + mom) are high society with oldest daughter Daphne on the circuit looking for a husband. She gains the attention of a Duke and a Prince. There is fake love, then real love, love above station, and love below, love that is forbidden, etc. etc. Seems a bit much but the characters are generally likable and the chemistry is good between the family and lovers and friends. And the narrator as a Victorian Gossip Girl wannabe holds everything together throughout. 

3 stars (out of 5)
