Anyone who has the good sense to stan Penelope Featherington within the first 5 minutes is clearly a man of excellent taste! This is going to be a really fun reaction series and I'm thrilled to see a guy's take on it. I am hoping all of your commenters will be classy enough to avoid spoilers of any kind because your pure reactions are just the best!
This project is based on a series of books by the American historical romance author, Julia Quinn. Starting in 2000, she wrote at least eight books focused on the Bridgerton family -- a book centered on each of the "children" as they find their future mates -- with various other side books. This first season is based on the first book, The Duke and I and focuses on Daphne. They are already planning a second season which focuses mostly on Anthony, Viscount Bridgerton, based on The Viscount Who Loved Me. But, the other characters of course still have their own story lines as they do this season.
It also has spin offs based off other families in the same universe. Very easy to see it going for multiple seasons especially since it got so popular.
It's based on a series of eight books, each focusing on one of the Bridgerton siblings, published in 2000 and onward. So I'd say Gossip Girl took inspiration from there, rather than the inverse :)
oh yeah, I'm subscribing for thisssssssssss. Love that you immediately stan Penelope, that alone earns you loyalty for life. You had me crying at Peter Pettigrew lmao
"Adieu Peter Pettigrew!!!! "🤣 "Not him either...definitely not him..." "Get out of here, you rat boy". Not to mention quoting Star Wars, you got me at Darth Plagueis the wise. I watched your video a couple of times and still laughing so hard at your accent and comments. Waiting patiently your next video on this serie, you will love it. Xoxo from France 🙂
I recently found out the 3rd season is gonna be Penelope and Colin and I kept watching the first season because I was super invested in who was writing and I wanted pen and Colin to be a thing and now I know about the 3rd season I went and rewatched the first season and finally watched the second. Your automatic liking of pen made me feel so validated in my love for her and colin, colin absolutely has to be the sweetest and most beautiful human in the show and I’m absolutely dying to see them together and happy.
He said "girl, that was not the move, to faint on the floor". Lol. She fainted because her corset was too tight. Remember when they were strapping her in, in the beginning? Lmao!!
this was such an entertaining reaction. you really cracked me up and yes, Lady Whistledown does remind me of Gossip Girl too. i loved your old time almost Irish accent while watching this British based show. LOL
Omg i have been hoping someone would react to this show! I am obsessed and so glad u r reacting to it! i hope a bunch of other reactors join you in doing it soon! Thanks! Subscribed and can't wait for more
I stumbled on to the trailer and this is not normally my thing, but I’m 3 eps in & really digging this. Glad I found your channel as I really enjoy people reacting to shows that I watch but none of my friends do.
I'm so glad I found you searching for Bridgerton reactions. I thoroughly enjoyed yours . Keep watching because the fun has just begun. I stumbled across the book series about four years ago and binged all eight books as quickly as I could. I'm a fan of. Period romances, especially those with a sense of humor. The romance book genre is a thing unto itself and I was glad to see they kept true to it in this series.. They kept all of my favorite interactions between characters from the books and added new people. don't think they strayed so far that they're going to mess up any of my stories that I think of as Canon. I hope you enjoy it as well. I can't wait to see your future reactions. You made this old lady laugh several times and smile a lot.
LOOOOOL Peter pettigrew😂👌🏼 this was hilarious!!! I did a commentary on ep 1 too I would be so grateful if you let me know your thoughts! You’re so entertaining thanks for the good laugh😂
About Queen Charlotte not being white, YES, that is in fact historically true and it's friggen' awesome. She was considered to be England's first black Queen, although it's now being debated if Philippa of Hainault, Queen-Consort of Edward III might have had black or 'moorish' ancestry as well. SUper happy you're going to react to this, by the way, it's how I found you. Subscribed for this series.
Ok. I’m sure someone has told you but this is set when Georgian time The queen, Charlotte, was indeed a person of color as evidenced in her potato’s. This is a time where there was an extremely tight set of social rules including a girl of high society being presented at court. They used to hire dancing teachers to teach these people how to dance both girls and boys. There were uses like you never dance with the same partner more than twice and you had to get the chaperone’s permission to dance a waltz. These ball were set up for the main purpose of finding a suitable mate. So much to learn about this time period. The rules continued until and through most of Victoria’s reign. Check it out. It’s quite interesting.
If you are having trouble with the names (not that I blame you...there are EIGHT Bridgerton siblings) it helps to remember that they are all alphabetical, oldest to youngest: Anthony (Viscount Bridgerton), Benedict, Colin, Daphne, Eloise (lung girl hollering in the beginning), Francesca, Gregory, and Hyacinth. And I read the books way back in the early 2000s, and Penelope is even MORE awesome than you think.
I appreciate you saying 'I'll take the show seriously won't make fun but will have fun' If you have this attitude with all your reactions your channel will do well. I'll definitely come back and watch the rest of your reactions to Bridgerton as they come out. I loved the books and this 1st Netflix series. Recommendation: If you haven't already seen it, Hulu has '12 Monkeys' time travel apocalyptic series - 4 seasons 10-13 episodes each (stellar storytelling).
Hardly mixed blood, she had an ancestor of colour about 400 years before she was born, she is far more European if not entirely European. I’m not Polynesian just because my great-great grandmother was Polynesian, that’s not how that works.
So cute watching you come up with all these excuses why you are watching this show😂, don’t be embarrassed to watch or like a little fluffy romance, so what , who cares! Those who like the show will stick with you and those who don’t won’t, and that’s ok too.
If I drank every time you mentioned Gossip Girl in this one episode, I'd be a heaped mess on the floor. Lol. The Bridgerton books were written years before Gossip Girl first aired, so I guess IT was a (modern) version of the 19th century story.
It's my first time on any of your reactions.. I like it.. 😂 And same I'm also more of a Superhero / Fantasy / Science Fiction type of girl, but I binged season 1 of Bridgerton on the first day it was uploaded and I loved it.. And a recommendation, if you haven't seen it already, is Netflix's sense8.. One of my all-time favorite shows!
New to the channel thanks to this video and the UA-cam algorithm. I loved how genuine your react appeared. Very funny stuff. You have a new subscriber!
Welcome aboard, and thanks for being here! I'll do my best to earn that subscription lol. I'm actually uploading 5x3 of The Expanse right now so barring complications, it should be up within a few hours
Great reaction! Just started watching Bridgerton myself so its great that you're reacting to this! Subbed earlier this year because of OBX, but will watch you reacting to Bridgerton definately!
You are quite amusing, if you haven’t yet you should think about doing a reaction to Outlander. Imagine this with a Doctor Who twist and set in the Scottish Highlands.
I don't think it's true that Daphane and the Duke hate each other. He's a handsome guy, she's a pretty girl, they see that. They're not blind. They're just not interested in the same thing. Daphane doesn't want a playboy husband and Simon doesn't want to get married at all.
Great reaction! Bridgerton is tons of fun!👍🙏❤️ Out of curiosity (and apologies, if someone has already asked this!) you mention having seen all of Gilmore Girls, so I'm wondering whether or not that includes the 4 episode reunion special, AYITL?
It's so funny to me how the female audience always immediately knows what's up when Marina gets angry on top of her bed, while all male reactors are clueless and take soooo long to understand what's going on xD
Just started to watch your reactions to this series. I can tell you the casting of the queen is accurate she was a woman of color. Sadly she saw the worst of King George. He really went mad after the American revolution
I think you would really enjoy the show The great :) It's a period drama like this one, but absolutely hilarious, lot's of dark humor :) it's kind of like a parody to period romance dramas
Women wasn't allowed to read in 1813... Men: fathers and brothers gave their daughters/sisters to whomever they wanted, in high society, of course. You DO know that Julie Andrews is British, right? There was no electricity yet in 1813...
Bridgerton is based on an eight book series, so they expect more than two seasons... in this season it's an entire season, not a day, when ladies are trying to "secure a husband". Queen Charlotte was half (or so) black, she was King George III (the mad king)'s wife. No electricity for more than hundred years in the future, not even gas lamps yet. This is the regency era, not even the Victorian era...
Children were taught a bunch of dances to be prepared for balls and other social events. If you didn’t know how to dance you were considered to be lesser than.
Bridgerton is a mixture of Gossip Girl and Cinderella, historically incorrect, purple colors at all in pastel. Anyone who knows London knows how London is wet and rainy. A bad copy of Downton Abbey. Made for the USA, Belgium for a European city hold.
I love that ALL women knew what she was looking for in the bed sheets and almost every guy is like “what why is she looking for”
Ngl, I was dumbfounded as well until much later in the season. Then I had a lightbulb moment when it was something that came up again. Lol.
I know, right!
There's 2 gay men who watched the together and THEY picked up on it pretty quick! Quicker than the other men on UA-cam.
@@AnxietyRat I watched them too!!
@@AnxietyRat that’s so funny I think it’s the Pink podcast or something like that! A black guy and a white guy right?

Penelope stan for life

It also has spin offs based off other families in the same universe. Very easy to see it going for multiple seasons especially since it got so popular.
Fun fact: Gossip Girl got "inspiration" from the brigerton books. And you can tell lmao.
It's based on a series of eight books, each focusing on one of the Bridgerton siblings, published in 2000 and onward. So I'd say Gossip Girl took inspiration from there, rather than the inverse :)
Lol that's fair
Very true... Plus history tells us the gossip sheets was very much a real thing in the Regency era so it's history.
“is she preguganent?” 😂😂😂😭
Aaa! So hilarious scene when she got a big belly but mother just realise that she is pregnant LOL )))
oh yeah, I'm subscribing for thisssssssssss. Love that you immediately stan Penelope, that alone earns you loyalty for life. You had me crying at Peter Pettigrew lmao
Lol Penelope stan for life
I do enjoy that Simon checked if Nigel was breathing. He had to be sure that Daphne didn’t kill him, cause her punch looked that serious.
The way you said you'd watched all of Grey's Anatomy and this is literally made by the same people 😂 your mind! 😅
I'm psychic lol
@@SleepyWaffles I'll be watching your guesses for Lady Whistledown closely then lol
@@SleepyWaffles I've never seen an episode of Grey's Anatomy before
"Adieu Peter Pettigrew!!!! "🤣
"Not him either...definitely not him..."
"Get out of here, you rat boy".
Not to mention quoting Star Wars, you got me at Darth Plagueis the wise.
I watched your video a couple of times and still laughing so hard at your accent and comments.

Lol thank you!

Colin is my favourite Bridgerton, and Penelope is amazing 🥰
You: "they are my favourite I think"
Me: okay, let's keep watching!
He said "girl, that was not the move, to faint on the floor". Lol. She fainted because her corset was too tight. Remember when they were strapping her in, in the beginning? Lmao!!
You rooting for Polin is giving me life!
this was such an entertaining reaction. you really cracked me up and yes, Lady Whistledown does remind me of Gossip Girl too. i loved your old time almost Irish accent while watching this British based show. LOL
Omg i have been hoping someone would react to this show! I am obsessed and so glad u r reacting to it! i hope a bunch of other reactors join you in doing it soon! Thanks! Subscribed and can't wait for more
Welcome aboard! And thank you lol
This book was published in the year 2000, way before Gossip Girl was a show.
2 years before the show to be exact.
Was pleasantly surprised to see you react to this! Can’t wait to see your reaction to the rest of the season.
May I thank your friend for paying you to watch this?! "Thank you friend, we appreciate it!"
I stumbled on to the trailer and this is not normally my thing, but I’m 3 eps in & really digging this. Glad I found your channel as I really enjoy people reacting to shows that I watch but none of my friends do.
Welcome aboard! I'll do my best to hopefully entertain you!
Fun fact….Shonda Rhimes was also part of the Princess Diaries and Princess Diaries 2 which Julie Andrew’s was also in as Queen Clarice of Genovia.
I binge watched this show on a whim and became obsessed with it, I hope you like it and continue with the reactions!
How am I just now stumbling upon this? Your reactions were hilarious... definitely watching all your episodes of this
Well thank you! That's very kind 😊

If you must know the Duke Simon danced with Penelope before he had a dance with daphne it in book
your commentary was hilarious and on point!! the love for Penelope, the immediate perfect reaction to Simon and the dances YESSS !!!
Omg he’s seen Gilmore girls! Ok in that case, your opinions, sir, are valid. Do continue.
Edit: I subscribed.
Lol thank you for your blessing
lmao "you look like the rat from harry potter" dude you nailed it with that remark lol
LOOOOOL Peter pettigrew😂👌🏼 this was hilarious!!! I did a commentary on ep 1 too I would be so grateful if you let me know your thoughts! You’re so entertaining thanks for the good laugh😂

It’s quite interesting.
It was in 1958 that the Queen ended the practice. The last Queen Charlotte ball was in 1976.
Potato's?? lol
The mother you didn't like (Lady Featherington) was also in Rome - Polly Walker
When I saw that someone was reacting to this show I clicked on it and subscribed so fast.
Lol thank you

Whoa, fantastic reaction! I just subscribed. Please keep reacting to this show.
Wow thank you!
Queen Charlotte had mixed blood, so it’s pretty accurate. Also the book series came out before Gossip Girl and inspired it.
Hardly mixed blood, she had an ancestor of colour about 400 years before she was born, she is far more European if not entirely European. I’m not Polynesian just because my great-great grandmother was Polynesian, that’s not how that works.
@@starfire4539700 years to be more specific but yes you’re right
First time viewer... you’re hilarious! I cackled out loud several times at your reactions and commentary!
Well thank you!
Thanks to the friend who payed you! I hope you like the show. I enjoyed your reaction and want to see more...
So cute watching you come up with all these excuses why you are watching this show😂, don’t be embarrassed to watch or like a little fluffy romance, so what , who cares! Those who like the show will stick with you and those who don’t won’t, and that’s ok too.
Lol I'm just trying to be transparent. I've watched my fair share of romance shows and movies with no shame
I’m I the only won who noticed in the first episode they were playing a violin version of thank you next in the dancing scene
I noticed one reactor that recognized it. They're called Pink Popcast. lol
I believe I mentioned that it was her in the video
I will be back just to hear you while watching this. You are so funny! Please keep watching and posting.
Loving Julie Andrews doing the narration
If I drank every time you mentioned Gossip Girl in this one episode, I'd be a heaped mess on the floor. Lol. The Bridgerton books were written years before Gossip Girl first aired, so I guess IT was a (modern) version of the 19th century story.
Sir.... your eyelashes. You have the prettiest eyelashes omg.
Lol thank you
It's my first time on any of your reactions.. I like it.. 😂

New to the channel thanks to this video and the UA-cam algorithm. I loved how genuine your react appeared. Very funny stuff. You have a new subscriber!
Welcome aboard!
So happy I’m not the only one who immediately thought gossip girl
New subscriber! Excited to watch your Expanse reactions but love this series too. Thanks for reacting 😊
Welcome aboard, and thanks for being here! I'll do my best to earn that subscription lol. I'm actually uploading 5x3 of The Expanse right now so barring complications, it should be up within a few hours
Found you while looking for reactions of this show and am loving your responses. Interested to see more.
You are adorable! 😍 Enjoyed the reaction. Subscribed!
Well thank you!
Great reaction! Just started watching Bridgerton myself so its great that you're reacting to this!
Subbed earlier this year because of OBX, but will watch you reacting to Bridgerton definately!
Omg I was thinking about paying him to watch it too haha
Thank you!!! Someone else who respects AC: Syndicate! Criminally underrated among AC games! Great reaction too by the way, you got a new subscriber!
Thank you! Welcome aboard!
That actress you recognize is from Rome, if you’ve seen that. I just started watching the show, it is very random to see this reaction.
Polly Walker is GOAT. She is Lady Danbury tier.
continue these reactions pleaseeeeeee
I plan on it lol
You are quite amusing, if you haven’t yet you should think about doing a reaction to Outlander. Imagine this with a Doctor Who twist and set in the Scottish Highlands.
I've seen the first 2-3 seasons of outlander already!
Waiting patiently for episode 2 ! Lol
Yes, your reactions are great! I just subbed and begging for you to watch the rest of the series you won’t regret it 😁
Oh wow thank you! I hope I deserve it lol
I don't think it's true that Daphane and the Duke hate each other. He's a handsome guy, she's a pretty girl, they see that. They're not blind. They're just not interested in the same thing. Daphane doesn't want a playboy husband and Simon doesn't want to get married at all.
The Featherington woman you said you recognized is Polly Walker. I don't know if you ever watched Rome on HBO but she was one of the stars of that.
Great reaction! Bridgerton is tons of fun!👍🙏❤️
Out of curiosity (and apologies, if someone has already asked this!) you mention having seen all of Gilmore Girls, so I'm wondering whether or not that includes the 4 episode reunion special, AYITL?
This is the best way I've ever seen a show deal with race. I was super impressed!
This is like pride and prejudice/little women/gossip girl crossover
More like the first one )))
Yooo bruh I am excited for your reactions! This show is so spicy!!!
Saw Bridgerton reaction and subscribed!
Welcome aboard!
Dude I did the XOXO at the beginning of every episode!!
Lol I probably will too
love this reaction 😂😂 definitely gonna have to subscribe
Thank you! Welcome aboard!
It's so funny to me how the female audience always immediately knows what's up when Marina gets angry on top of her bed, while all male reactors are clueless and take soooo long to understand what's going on xD
In this show society changed back in the regency era at least in part because this king married a black queen (woman)
So its an alternate universe
Omg yay!!! I can't wait for the rest!!
Shout out to Assassin's Creed Syndicate. I loved that era
I miss the old AC games
I love the Harry Potter and Star Wars references
Why I have a feeling that this story is so alike to "Pride and Prejudice"? The main character reminds me Darcy sometimes )))
Immediately subbed. Loooove this show
Thank you! Welcome aboard!
Just started to watch your reactions to this series. I can tell you the casting of the queen is accurate she was a woman of color. Sadly she saw the worst of King George. He really went mad after the American revolution
I'm in the comments looking for all the people saying Bridgerton was first and Gossip Girl copied. And I was not disappointed 😁
Nice reactions dude. Like with all Shonda produced shows Bridgerton gets very juicy.
Thank you!
more reactions about this series pleasee you are fantastic! my favourite couple definetely is penelope and colin they are the best
Hey man love your reaction btw !
Thank you!
What’s your favorite color? Are you good at checkers? Haha I cackled.
I think you would really enjoy the show The great :) It's a period drama like this one, but absolutely hilarious, lot's of dark humor :) it's kind of like a parody to period romance dramas
I love your reaction! Just wait!
Very good show that only gets better!
Loved this reaction!
Thank you!
Gilmore Girls! As if i couldn't like you more. lol
Thanks for reacting to this show. I love this show and have looked for someone to react to it. Will the full reaction be on Patreon at some point?
Yes they will! I'm working to catch up on patreon right now so full length episode 1 should be up within the week
@@SleepyWaffles Wonderful.
Take your time.
Your eyes are so pretty!!! (I apologize if that makes you uncomfortable or if me saying that is awkward, I just had to say it lol)

Children were taught a bunch of dances to be prepared for balls and other social events. If you didn’t know how to dance you were considered to be lesser than.
Gahh you replied!! Please continue this series it’s really good. I finished it in 1 day binging and I don’t regret a thing!!
I plan on it lol
I don’t know how old Daphne is supposed to be in the show, but she looks SO young to me & it made it difficult to enjoy any flirting with Simon 👀
She looks like she's about 20-21 to me. Actress is 25
I know this guy
I love you
Bridgerton is a mixture of Gossip Girl and Cinderella, historically incorrect, purple colors at all in pastel. Anyone who knows London knows how London is wet and rainy. A bad copy of Downton Abbey. Made for the USA, Belgium for a European city hold.
Look at that mustache
No its not historically accurate 😅 the UK has never bad a black queen, i think we’d have a far different history if we had 💀
👍
You look like Ricky Gervais.
Ouch 😂
