She was visiting relatives in Bath, is what I recall Lady Bridgerton saying. She's basically missing from the entire series, until her own book. Ah ok. I saw her on that family tree and was trying to figure out which one she was. She's the one that pops in for a scene or 2, right? yup!

I am curious how they will handle Francesca’s story. She really isn’t in the books much, but adding her could bring new storylines. In case you haven’t read the books Will they show her first marriage?

I just started watching, so I’ll finish and then read through this thread so I don’t accidentally catch a spoiler.
I did convince my H to watch with me, under the premise that it was all about sex (from what I had heard). He was disappointed but we did start talking like them so that has been the highlight of getting him to watch 😂
Also should I read the books?

The actress that plays Eloise is in her 30s. Same for Penelope. It's such a mishmash. I'm thinking they cast someone older for Eloise so it's easier to skip a few years and haver her storyline playout without a 19 year old actress. Also, I think that actress is a perfect for her.

Weeks late to this thread, but I loved all the Bridgerton books and I must say that as of episode 3 this show needs 100% more Benedict. He's my favorite and I love him thus far in the show.

Benedict is yummy. I wish he was cast as Colin though. He fits that role more to me. I saw a glimpse of him watching a girl who ran by when he was at the artists orgy thing. I think was supposed to be Sophie. I was kind of turned off by him participating. In the book he doesn’t.

I'm re-watching, and not binging this time. I'm officially pegging the end of episode 2 as the moment when the Duke is falling, and he knows it. You see him dance with Daphne, reach up to touch her skin, then go stand with Lady Danbury. Then the flashback to him vowing to never marry. So powerful.
I'm also catching things, like the brief explanation of where Franchesca goes. She's at her aunt's, to study piano.

Don't forget, if you loved the Bridgerton books, read the Smyth-Smith Quartet. Same author, and the quartet is referenced in the Bridgerton series. Plus, Lady Danbury is in it!

I haven't read the books so I have no comparison. Loving it so far. I watched that scene last night, he touches her bare back and you can see his busted up knuckles. The flashbacks are just awful to see, Simon is like a tortured soul. I love he and Daphne together. I'm only on episode 3.

I enjoyed it. I currently have covid 😭 so it was nice to have something to binge watch....I did have to have the subtitles on though because I for the life of me couldn’t ever understand what the F they were saying!!
Simon is 🤤 I think Colin is adorable and Penelope didn’t come off as annoying to me..she just seemed like she was the outcast in her family ...and what happened to the dad??
*Spoiler*******
Did they murder him and take the money? He won it from a bet from the fight? I feel like I dozen off at one point and missed what really happened.
And Whistledown is totally the gossip girl of their time 🤣

They killed him and took the money, though he had already paid off the main debts.

I'm wondering if the mobsters are who "inherits" it

I just binged the whole season and my gosh. I was not expecting the intensity of the sex scenes, so there's that. But Simon certainly is not difficult to look at. I haven't read the books; I didn't know they existed until I started the series. Re: Daphne and forcing ejaculation. I see what others are saying here... But she was also lied to. Lied to and also clueless when it came to sex and babies. You see her being willing to marry Simon even though she knew (thought) he couldn't have kids, and maybe not even really have sex. Daphne took control and exposed his lie. The show didn't depict him as being drunk, so in that moment he certainly could have moved her. I was very much not expecting the Whistledown reveal. She could have exposed his lies with out the force in a sexual moment. She already knew he could ejaculate before that encounter. Her maid told her how it worked so she should have been like “hey I know you can make babies, why did you lie and say you can’t?” Not hey, let me initiate sex, take the power position in sex and completely ignore your distress. That’s gross. And then the show completely ignores that what she did was gross, having him portrayed as the only one in the wrong and left to apologize to her. His lie wasn’t okay. Her sexual assault of him was not okay. Also “he could have pushed her off” is so victim blaming. My gosh.

FYI, there is an Audible sale right now and many of the Bridgerton books (and some other Julia Quinn titles) are on sale for $5 each.
