The Netflix series 'Bridgerton' is fantastic to many people for different reasons. For me, it's my love for the 'classics' Classical music has an unexplainable way of stirring every fiber of my being to serenity. I think among the reasons why it became the most viewed Netflix series is that no matter how contemporary we've become, we still like what's classic, something unique that takes us from the noise of the current world. The movie takes us back to the culture of the 19th century especially in the aspects of family life, the role of parents/gender, and relationship mentalities. The global love for this movie is another pointer to the idea that despite our love and sense of belonging for movies with spaceships and future technology, we still like to look back to where we are coming from. Time is a continuum. The writer(lady Whistledown) in the movie is just out of the world with her mastery of language and depth of analysis. The inclusivity of casts in the movie is commendable. The dresses are elegant. Here are some of my favorite quotes from the movie; 'These days, a young lady must display a miscellany of talents in her quest for a suitor. She must be a witty conversationist, an accomplished musician, and an expert in the art of the swoon' 'The ones we love have the power to inflict the greatest scar, for what thing is more fragile than the human heart' 'Sweet child, many men make declarations of love when they want to make love but rare is the man whose love remains true when the consequences of lovemaking are brought to his attention.'
