Bridgerton 3if we evaluate the numbers, it is certainly a success and confirms the viewers’ love for the series Netflix. However, if we consider the reviews, opinions and comments of fans on the web, it is clear that many of them are not enthusiastic about the third season and rank it in last place among those proposed so far.
Daphne and the Duke had started the dance, making Bridgerton the phenomenon that it is today. Anthony and Kate then doubled down on their explosive chemistry. Even the touching prequel about Queen Charlotte and King George, despite the time leap backwards, was unexpectedly received with enthusiasm, so much so that it recently returned to the top of the top ten of the most watched programs on the platform.
Penelope and Colin, despite fierce competition from colleagues from previous love stories, were doing quite well in the first part of the third season. In the second however, the public expected something more. But what are the critical points?
According to several viewers, the chemistry between the two protagonists would be stronger in interviews and on the red carpet rather than on stage.
Many also find it unlikely that Colin, after having romantically ignored Penelope for years and seen her only as a faithful friend, suddenly fell madly in love with her, with an involvement that goes from 2 to 100. However, the highly anticipated hot scenes, with furniture that would break due to passion, would not have met expectations.

Then, once the great mystery about the identity of Lady Whistledown (who is precisely Penelope) has been revealed, we witness, at first, a Colin is envious, by his own admission, of his partner’s success. In fact, he too is an aspiring writer and cannot stomach the idea of ​​being the second-class one in the couple, even more so in the nineteenth century. Yes because, in that period (and sometimes unfortunately still now) they could almost never coexist in a woman ambition and lovethe first road was often blocked and the second the only conceivable one.
Penelope also finds herself at that crossroads and is asked to make a choice. She, although very much in love with Colin, refused to give up Lady Whistledown. Why? Well, she’s not just an observer spreading gossip, Lady Whistledown is the expression of the most irreverent part of Penelope, always placed on the wall like an old wallpaper, it is economic independence, it is the reminder not to be invisible, it is a hobby and a job but above all it is power.
Penelope fortunately grasped these potentials, the fruit of her sacrifices, immediately, for the other protagonists it took a while but… then, they couldn’t help but welcome the writer’s courage with proud amazement and be infected by it. Penelope’s independence and personal fulfillment, in fact, created a pleasant domino effect.
First of all, she and her mother rediscovered themselves more similar than expected: two women who tried to stay afloat with the few means available and always managed to get by, even if with methods considered questionable.
Even the two sisters, who have always not been particularly kind to Penelope, softened at the end, Prudence and Philippa became mothers of daughters and expressed their desire toand see them become skilled writers like their aunt, thus breaking that generational loop of the frantic search for a husband as her only ambition.
Also Eloisein the last episodes perennially annoyed and more feminist in words than in deeds, has returned to being the lovable Eloise of before: from the determination of her newfound friend Penelope, she finds the strength to leave her comfort zone, throw herself and explore the world.
Meanwhile Colin, fortunately, understands that his wife’s light does not have to mean darkness for him but that they can shine together (as well as separately) and publishes his first novel.
If the promise was that of a friends to lovers among the Polins (as renamed by fans), in the end the result is more of a friends to writers and maybe that’s okay!
