Bridgerton series three review: Brimming with intrigue, jealousy and lust - this is what Bridgerton does best writes CHRISTOPHER STEVENS
Jane Austen sadly didn't live long enough to complete her planned masterpiece, Debs And Debauchery, or Balls And Bonking. But if she had, it might have looked like series three of Bridgerton.
Cruel and arrogant Colin Bridgerton (Luke Newton), younger son of a titled family and therefore entitled to act like a selfish narcissist, was shocked to his core to encounter a flash of homosexuality on one of his regular visits to a brothel. The oldest Bridgerton, Viscount Anthony (Jonathan Bailey), and his new bride Kate (Simone Ashley) are busy consummating their marriage after last season's love-and-hate romance as she gasps 'You do know that what we are doing is not how one makes an heir?' The candelabras, the footmen in their finery, the chinless drones in silk waistcoats, the floral arrangements like all of Kew Gardens crammed into a vase, the plumed horses, the diamond-studded pineapples, the rosy-cheeked urchins and wide-eyed housemaids, the villainous lawyers, the hot-air balloon flights, the sheer brilliance of the ballgowns – all shot through with intrigue, jealousy and lust.
