How ‘Bridgerton’ Ushered Romance into 2021
Unlike the book, Bridgerton tells a wider story.
Where romance novels of this sort generally focus on the central couple, with their friends and family only occupying a supportive peripheral role, Bridgerton expands the roles of Daphne’s elder brothers Anthony, Benedict, and Colin, as well as that of her younger sister Eloise.
Structurally, from a television standpoint, this makes sense. The supporting cast needs to do more than fill the background and populate the lives of the central couple.
But the reason this was such a wonderful choice for me personally, and why it cemented Bridgerton as one of my best of 2021, was because of how much I love the other characters.
Daphne and Simon’s story is the perfect one with which to kick off the series and establish the world they live in.
