Bridgerton (serial)

Season 2

Last season followed the high society Bridgerton's as eldest daughter Daphne was pursing marriage. This season it is eldest son Anthony, who is duty bound to marry and carry on the family name. And that duty bound nature becomes the theme of the season. Follow duty - or seek true love? The women of the family seem to think you have have both. Anthony is so repressed that he refuses to consider true love. The other boys are released from duty as "not the eldest" and so seek their passion as men of leisure. The love interests are a pair of sisters that represent these choices of love v duty, and at the same time mesh with the subplot involving Eloise and Penelope, starting an exploration of class (which I think is foreshadowing a main theme in a future season).
