Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story not only provides a resoundingly confident yes to all those questions, the prequel series actually manages to provide an important narrative and emotional context for the larger world in which it is set. Read full review

Without giving too much away, this “Bridgerton” chapter mines richer, riskier material, a direction that series creator Shonda Rimes navigates with skill, particularly her writing on the final episode. Read full review

Toss in the requisite jewel-encrusted silks, Vitamin String Quartet pop covers and a healthy sense of humor about the sillier extravagances of the ruling class, and Queen Charlotte manages to replicate the same giddy pleasures of its predecessor. And it does all this without leaning on the illusion of everlasting matrimonial bliss. Read full review

There’s a distinct Shonda-ness to the dialogue, which recalls “Scandal” ’s snippy banter and florid, time-stopping monologues, as well as that series’ obsession with optics. Who needs the glowing fairy lights of “Bridgerton” when this more world-weary spectacle boasts so many confident fingerprints? ... Pull up a chair. Read full review

I’m pleased and surprised to report that while “Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story” isn’t perfect, the limited spinoff premiering Thursday on Netflix is more interesting — and less derivative — than I expected. Read full review

The prequel feels rushed and slick production, usually Bridgerton's hallmark, occasionally goes out the window. ... The central romance and lack of chemistry between the central lovers is the real problem here. Mylchreest is horribly miscast as the king. Read full review

But then I read the user reviews and realized that many of these negatives reviews are motivated by hate. So I decided to give it a shot. I am so glad I did. I am 3 episodes in and I am thoroughly enjoying it. Wonderful acting and cinematography. And I find the story very engrossing. Ignore the ones who downrated it simply because they don't like a story told using black people. They say it's historically inaccurate. It's fiction, of course it's historically inaccurate. My advice is to watch this and enjoy. I know I certainly will.… Expand

Especially the included topics of psychosis and historical forms of treatment are done quite well. With time jumps and some repeated scenes, the watcher becomes the opportunity to see the former two seasons and the new season itself in another light and can reflect.

Although it is the same „she have to save him“ kind of story, I enjoyed watching it. Especially at the end I had tears in my eyes.… Expand

it is not as strong as the main stories and it is indeed questionable to choose black people as queens to add some special plot for the show. but it is still watchable
