Bridgerton Season 3 is like a reunion with good friends who happen to be very attractive. They bring new stories, some racy, some awkward, some with the expected twists, but all well told in a familiar, comfortable, and charming way.

Some good action early on can't redeem the terribly uneven pacing and a simply awful script. Fun to see the whole band back together, though. It just would have been nice giving them something less tedious to do. That includes the dinosaurs. Decent moments here and there but too often it was like watching them mope around in a petting zoo. I will say that the pre-teens in the theater didn't seem to mind any of these shortcomings. They enjoyed Dominion very much. So, like the movie, if you gotta live through it, do it for the kids.

Just finished watching all 8 episodes straight through without fast forwarding. I deserved better. We all did. Jupiter's Legacy is a thoroughly derivative superhero/superanti-hero yarn. Some good action scenes but not nearly enough to make up for the scattershot pious angst posturing as conflicted morality posing as a script. The writing is seriously lacking in originality with precious little joy, humor, or sexual interplay to cut the deadly somberness. Also, there are too many folks with different powers. Forget character development, they come and go so fast, it's impossible to put faces to names. Loved the 1920's origin scenes for the set design and photography. But, like many of the supportive plot lines, it would have been better served with it's own well constructed episode. Also very good performances, especially from the leads. That said, would find it hard to invest watching many more episodes if they don't put at least a few original concepts on screen.
