The first season of series left behind passionate viewers-turned-fans and hopeful eyes impatiently waiting for Bridgerton 2.
It was every bit seductive, charming, and tinseled, especially with the Duke (Rege-Jean Page) and his infectious smile. However, the second instalment is lacking all, the sultry, the glamour, and especially the Duke. The Duke Of Hasting’s absence is a void that cannot be filled, and is felt excruciating throughout the tiresome eight episodes, each almost an hour long.
The second season focuses on the eldest son of the Bridgerton clan. The Viscount, Anthony Bridgerton is all set to find himself a Viscountess.
Let it be known that Lord Bridgerton has no interests in trivial matters such as that of love or companionship, because he marries purely out of duty, except he is blissfully unaware about the storm that is yet to hit him. On walks, Kate Sharma and her sister Edwina Sharma with their mother, Mary Sharma. Kate, much like Anthony, has devoted herself to her family, and is in town to find her sister the perfect match for marriage.
Miss Edwina instantly catches the Viscount’s eye, as someone who is sensible, and agreeable enough to make a Viscountess, and the mother of his children. However, the problem arises when there is sizzling chemistry between Kate and Anthony. The two attempt to disguise the attraction to the world, as well as to themselves by despising each other. But soon the denial falters, and enticement gets the better of them.

All said and done, for all the irresistibility that Bridgerton tries to show between Anthony and Kate, the two’s onscreen chemistry seems to prove otherwise. The passion, and magnetism is missing terribly, except for a scene or two.
The desire to be swooned is left unsatiated, so much so, that even some of the most intimate scenes (there are very few, as compared to season 1) fail to evoke so much so as a flicker of inducement. The pale, bland, and luster-less romance feels forced. Drawing comparisons to the previous couple (Daphne and Simon) is instinctive especially since their chemistry is unforgettably smoldering.
Bridgerton Season 2 is lack luster, modest, and somber, despite the bright-yellow gowns, the opulent setting, and the melodramatic hairdos. Its biggest failure lies in the fact that it did not live up to the standards of its predecessor.
