Bridgerton's Risky Romance Advice Exposed

The latest season of the Netflix series Bridgerton offers lavish costumes and intense romantic plotlines, though its dating advice for young women is deemed problematic. Lady Araminta Gun's assertion that reformed rakes make ideal husbands is challenged by the character of Benedict Bridgerton, whose behavior involves excessive drinking and dalliances.

The season premiere showcases a visually stunning production, highlighting ambitious choreography that makes it worth watching even for newcomers. A central storyline involves Benedict's encounter with a mysterious stranger at a masked ball, revealed to be Sophie Beckett, a maid-in-waiting, evoking a Cinderella narrative.

Furthermore, the series deviates significantly from authentic early Victorian ballroom etiquette. Historical guides indicate rules were broken regarding conversation length between partners and social interactions during dances, all seemingly disregarded to fuel the show's dramatic progression and romantic entanglements.
