It felt really rushed for me because I felt like the couples from the previous seasons had a bit more slow burn and I get that they have known each other forever and have been friends for a long time so they're starting from a different place but I wished they'd shown the progression on Colin's side from viewing Pen as just a friend to something more a bit better. I also really liked that they showed a new side to Cressida instead of just this two dimensional mean girl stereotype they started with. I'm curious to see how things will go between mama Bridgerton and lady Danbury's brother I mean she's been a widow for a long time now and most of her kids are about to be married off so time to get a little action for herself I guess? :3
in a way it's been building up from previous seasons since pen always loved him and we can see how important she was to him. he was never ashamed to be her friend and he was never afraid to ask her for a dance even if it looked a certain way to other people. so he's always cherished her, i can see how it felt rushed though, i wouldve wanted more moments between them. still, i like that as soon as he had his "oh" moment after their first kiss, it didn't take him long to come to terms with his feelings, and again, he's not ashamed to be in love with her or tell other people how he feels. If there was any hesitance, it was moreso cause pen is his friend and he'd always seen her as that. it's kind of refreshing to see him be so straightforward and direct with saying he wants to marry her especially when others view her as a joke. im so excited for the lady whistledown reveal though !!
what were your thoughts for the new season
Please no book spoilers, some of us have not read it.
My thoughts:
I was a bit disappointed, but Im hoping part 2 will be better. I felt like Polin hardly had screentime and I wanted Colin to grovel way more. Their progession of their relationship felt really fast, but I supposer after he finds out shes Lady Whistledown things will take a turn.
