Rainha Charlotte: Uma História Bridgerton

Having watched Bridgerton I of course knew the fate of King George and the Queen's devotion to him. However, seeing their origin story played out was so painfully beautiful. And Brimsley? I don't know what happened to Reynolds but I am grieving him. Brimsley was someone I've barely noticed in Bridgerton but now he's one of my favorite characters. I also loved the backstories of Lady Danbury and Violet Bridgerton. Lady Danbury is one of the best characters of the series and I loved learning more about her and how she became who she is. Would love to know more about Coral. I hope they do more of these interspersed seasons because they hit it out of the park with this.

This was a wonderful addition to the Bridgerton series, and in my opinion, the best. I honestly didn't realize that Queen Charlotte was based on the real Queen Charlotte who was married to George III. Also led me to do some reading and there are accounts that Charlotte did indeed have a darker complexion and I love that this was used to imagine a world where as early as the late 1700s races could intermingle without (much) prejudice. How much further would we be in this journey if this were true?

I also enjoyed the dive into King George's illness. The acting of the lead roles dealing with this was fantastic. The ensemble cast was amazing too. A much watch if you liked the first and/or second season of 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.

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.

Usually when you think of spinoffs, you don't think they'll be better than the originals. I wanted it to last longer than the 6 episodes it runs for.

It's more mature than the original two Bridgerton seasons, and deals with more complex issues with greater sensitivity. It's timeless love rather than romance. Still with all the opulence of the Bridgerton series, and even more opulent since it's the royal family.

The cast is great. Young Charlotte, King George, the Dowager Princess... Everyone really. If you like period shows and want something a little deeper than Bridgerton Seasons 1 & 2, this is a must watch.
