Bridgerton season 2 doesn't hold a candle to the entertainment of season 1."
– Mama's Geeky
Season 1 of Bridgeton ended with the big reveal that Lady Whisteldown is Penelope Featherington. This was a big mistake, as this season feels like there is less mystery, and not as high of stakes.
The best part of Bridgerton season 2 is in the introduction of Kate and Edwina Sharma to the ton. The majority of their story is extremely predictable, but is still entertaining.
While this season feels a lot less steamy, there is a couple with incredible chemistry. This being Anthony's season, more time should have been spent on him, and not giving many others their own plot.
Thankfully the costumes and set designs are just as gorgeous as Bridgerton season 1. The gowns are stunning and the balls extravagant. It did feel nice to be back in this world again.
It isn't a bad season, it just is not nearly as scandalous or entertaining or steamy. There is not nearly as much love-making, and the drama and gossip aren't on the same level as they were in the previous season.
