I just rewatched the series again for the 4th time and I disagree about not knowing Colin. If it wasn’t for Penelope he would not have entertained the idea of writing a book. He found his purpose because of her. In the book he felt he had to protect Pen and withheld telling her he loved her because he was not sure he loved her. I loved that they reversed it by introducing another suitor. That forced him to deal with what he was feeling. I loved that Penelope took action to come forward with her story even risking the possibility of an annulment. It took watching it a third time to catch that part. My biggest problem the first time was that the ending gave the impression that this series was it. The end so to speak. In the books after Pen is revealed, she gives up Whistledown. I am curious as to how they will incorporate Penelope’s writing throughout the rest of the series. And whether she will write her Wallflower novel and become a famous authoress.
Okay, I can see that. I do plan to watch over this season so hopefully I pick up on some of what you said. I'm also curious about next season too. Really hope they continue Penelope's story and not just have her the background so to speak.
I have not read the books but plan to…I totally enjoyed season 3 and the Colin/Penelope story was heart-warming. Didn’t know where they were going with Benedicts tryst though…he does seem so lost and without purpose
I agree - seasons 1&2 kept closer to the books in that all characters had roles but the main characters were the center of the season & their storylines were full. I was sadly disappointed with Season 3 - too many storylines & the one of the main characters in the original Julia Quinn book about Colin & Penelope were slighted. For example, the book scene where Colin breaks in on a Featherington family get together to announce his proposal to Penelope was wonderful & would have shown more of Colin’s character & growth - not to mention a fun scene. Instead we rushed thru the Colin/Penelope story, Francesca was not given her due, & Benedict felt “thrown in”. My fav book is the one about Eloise & Sir Philip, but sadly given what became of Season 3, this may be my last….😢
Polin story was wasted, it could have been a very interesting and and very good romance story. There were a lot of sidestories that are irrelevant specifically Mondrich. The Benedict threesome and gender swap in Francesca's story are also off.
I was thinking the same and honestly I started to fast forward to their parts because I didn't care about the other stories.
Really wish we got more of Penelope & Colin.
I just did the same thing. I literally said “I don’t care about any of this shit” while fast forwarding.
I thought the same of this second part of Season 3, there was something missing about Colin & Penelope. Too many plot stories at the same time.
Yup, just too much happening all at once.
I think the same thing Penelope and Colin’s story was so fast I believe they deserved a longer story line
Yup, definitely needed more time with these two.

I believe the showrunner changed, which kind of says it all.
That's true, which honestly sucks.

You're going to enjoy the books, highly recommend! Totally get what you mean about Benedict. I really hope they do his story justice.

I completely agree. I have such an attachment to this series that I'll more than likely continue watching. Really hope season 4 is much better.
Nope i disagree they went from friends to lovers they played out from season 1 to season 3

Yup, alot of people thought the same. Hoping next season is much better.
Está segunda parte fue para decepcionante ……
Completamente de acuerdo
