It’s fantasy/ fiction mapleleaf not an accurate portrayal of the 18th century. You’ll be telling me that Batman or Superman is insulting as people can’t fly around in cloaks. I love it - real escapism and visually stunning.

Lighten up Mapleleaf it takes place in a parallel reality where everyone was the same race - the human race.

Only seen snippets and not impressed. So totally historically inaccurate. Are we meant to pretend that racism didn’t exist in the 18 th century and that everyone was able to reach the echelons of British upper class society whatever their background? It’s an utterly absurd production, pretending that the inequalities of racism and classism never happened back in the 18th century, and that, actually, everyone was equal and had the opportunity to reach high social standing. Talk about dumbing down. What an insulting production it is.

Really happy Bridgerton is back on. The costumes are wonderful. Love the modern music like Material Girl from last week. Will miss the actor who played the duke from last series though he’s gorgeous.

Have you watched Anne with an E yet? I loved it - apart from the persecution of the First Nation Indians. Canada didn't apologise until 2009, so shocking when you look into how they were treated.

Yes, I am watching at the rate of two a day, daren’t watch it more at a time because I don’t know what I will do when it’s finished. When does series 3 start?

Anyone else watching Series 2? I'm relieved there aren't any explicit sex scenes in this one and like the 'love' theme.
