Hold onto your tiaras, "Bridgerton" fans, because the ton we know and love has undergone a dramatic transformation! Season 3 has everyone talking, but not just about the steamy romance and scandalous gossip. Fans are noticing some major changes in the show's style, tone, and pacing, leaving many wondering if "Bridgerton" has lost its magic.
The most significant factor behind the shift in "Bridgerton's" vibe is a change in leadership. Chris Van Dusen, the showrunner for seasons 1 and 2, established a distinct aesthetic and storytelling style. He prioritized historical accuracy (at least to a certain degree!), creating a world that felt both romantic and grounded in the Regency era.
However, Season 3 saw Jess Brownell take the reins as showrunner, bringing with her a fresh perspective and a more modern sensibility. This shift is evident in everything from the makeup and costumes to the pacing of the storylines.
"It's like watching a completely different show," one fan commented on Reddit. "Season 3 is still enjoyable, but it's definitely missing that old 'Bridgerton' charm."
Remember those dewy, natural complexions in Season 1? Those days are gone! Season 3 embraces a full-on glam aesthetic, with characters sporting bold lipstick, dramatic eyeliner, and even (gasp!) false eyelashes.
