La Reina Charlotte: Una historia de Bridgerton

This series did a lovely job of balancing the present and past with a variety of human conditions. The actors portrayed so much feeling and conflicting emotions and I was drawn in. The actor who played king George did a beautiful job of balancing the desire to be normal to the point that he would do anything to be worthy of Charlotte. The actress who played Queen Charlotte was wonderful at balancing confusion, desire and putting herself aside to be George's anchor. These actors conveyed these feelings balancing on the head of a pin. I hope that the real queen and king had somewhere near this type of love... The final scene of episode 6 was so beautifully done and brought me to tears. That's what love should be.

I have enjoyed the original Bridgerton, but only after watching Queen Charlotte have I realized just how much was lacking from it.

The original Bridgerton series, compared to this one, is too distracted, with a destination that's clear and safe, such that space is set for a hazy or careless middle. This show however carries itself with its goal in mind and does it with grace. It is just six episodes, shorter than the original, but never for once feels hastened. With every scene you can sense the care with which it was made, that it meant something to someone somewhere to form this in the way it was formed. Most importantly, it had gall, and it did it in a way that was never gratuitous. Don't get me wrong, I love the laid-backery of the original series, but sometimes I think you have to step close to the fire and burn some skin.

Also, the cast was capable, but the shining star has to be the woman who plays the younger lady Danbury, she just glows (much as the older one) and steals the story.

It is a sizeable shame that this is a limited series. Big complements!

I am not typically a drama or romance fan and I was skeptical at first (still have not watched the original series), however after a couple episodes, the show won me over. The way the timelines are presented in the show can confuse a watcher who hasn't read the books or seen the original series but it does not lack to intrigue. Steeped in emotional nuances and laced with cerebral comedy, a wonderful soundtrack underscores a period piece that bends the status-quo of what viewers are used to while tackling social issues that permeate to this day. I find it wonderfully creative for the writers to imagine how (royal) families would navigate these multi-cultural issues during such a time.

That being said, I believe that many negatives reviews for this show and its predecessor were written by people who cannot imagine or do not want to see such a society exist in real life or fantasy.

The show is worth setting aside prejudices and viewing with an open mind ready to be entertained.

A beautiful love story, superbly acted by every character. Full of warmth, humour and emotion, with fabulous costumes and beautiful music.

The final episode left me feeling very emotional, not only because of Queen Charlotte and "Just George", but also the brilliantly played Brimsley and Reynolds.

Characters familiar from previous Bridgerton series such as Lady Danbury and Violet are great again, and it was so good to learn about them as young women.

The actress playing Young Charlotte was perfect and the amazing chemistry between her and King George was entirely believable.

A wonderful series for all true romantics.

The Queen Charlotte series is far superior to the original Bridgerton series. The two starring actors had greater chemistry and performed better together than the two other season 1 and 2 leading couples of the original series. I'd like to see more miniseries. The first and second Bridgerton series is far too corny. The Queen Charlotte series managed to provide complexity and food for thought. That is exactly what I am missing from the original Bridgerton series. I hope they continue to do miniseries. Because this mini-series, and hopefully future ones, have a more in-depth story and they now have two leading actors who can act. The main plot of the two starring players is the finest, so I give it an 8/10. The miniseries' various side storylines aren't always engaging. 6/10 for that; after four episodes, I skipped those parts since they were a little too long, and I focused on the main plot of the two characters because it was the most engaging. Overall, the primary tale is excellent, and I recommend that you stick to it if you get tired of the other minor characters. My overall rating for this miniseries is 7.5/10.
