It’s true that there’s less sex in season two of Bridgerton, but the real scandal is that there’s less excitement. chaneyj writes
Kate and Anthony spend most of Bridgerton’s second season hating each other, which is how you know they’re not-so-secretly hot for each other. Photo: Liam Daniel/Netflix It took a grand total of three minutes for the first season of Bridgerton to depict a couple in the throes of breathless sex. The second season of Bridgerton waits multiple episodes to show us the same lusty courtesy.
The new set of eight episodes is more of the same, theoretically, but with less explicit material and a much slower burn. While the first season of Bridgerton could have existed only on a streaming service or premium cable, the second, with a few minor edits, could easily air on PBS. That makes this iteration less of a spicy twist on a familiar genre and more just familiar, period.
But when Kate encounters Anthony, sparks instantly fly. They bicker over everything — from what constitutes proper behavior to extremely competitive games of pall-mall. They hate each other, which is how you know they’re not-so-secretly hot for each other. In keeping with the genre, they suppress those emotions at the numerous functions that everyone is constantly invited to attend: horse races, weekends in the country, a ball, then another ball, followed by another ball.
Plenty of romantic fiction has purposely set an attraction on simmer and waited a while before revealing whether the relationship goes anywhere. That approach proves more frustrating here than it might in other contexts because Bridgerton did not take its time to the same extent in season one. Its central love affair and other plot developments contained so much forward momentum that sometimes things moved almost too quickly.
