The second season of Bridgerton lives up to the hype

THE VISCOUNT'S FLAME

BRIDGERTON SEASON 2

Available on Netflix

After the first season of Netflix’s regency romance, Bridgerton became a runaway success, there was much expectation riding on season two. Remarkably, it lives up to it, mainly because it does not attempt to copy the success formula of the first. Comparing the two seasons might not do justice to either because, beyond the bustles and the balls, the corsets and the chaises, the vicissitudes of the ton, and the eccentricities of the queen, they do not have much in common. One could say that the second season is less racy and frothy than the first. The desire is hidden and forbidden, paving the way for the torture, the longing looks, the magnetic pull, and the inability to stay away from each other—pure gold for a true romance lover.
