9. The Bridgerton Breakdown

Rudi [f?], Kate [f??], and Adele [f???] break down the season past, talk about their highlights and their lowlights, provide surprisingly similar rankings, and tackle some thorny reader questions. And, as always, we wonder...who hurt Rudi?

Featuring:

  • Why you should only be friends with Kate

  • Objectively Good versus Effective versus Giving You All The Feels

  • Fan fic supporting Rudi’s favourite theory

  • Lady Danbury’s Happy Ever After

  • Checkov’s Bridgertons

  • Millennial gals

Not Featuring:

  • A long, thorough, and deep discussion on Brendan Fraser as an actor, a man, and a thirst object (Blame time restrictions!)
