The final numbers are in, and Season 1 of Bridgerton was watched by a record 82 million households around the world (partially or in its entirety.) That is a whopping 19M households higher than the four-week projection Netflix issued 10 days into the Shondaland series’ run (63 million), at the time the streamer’s fifth biggest launch in history.

Bridgerton, whose massive wave of popularity is showing no signs of subsiding, is now Netflix’s biggest series ever by a wide margin. It pushed down to No.2 previous record holder, fantasy hit The Witcher (76M in its first 28 days).

guess we found where The Bachelor viewers went

Well it does have a agenda, its woke. I was reading a BBC article on it earlier today, it didn't tell me anything about the plot or why its good, all it really said to sell it to me is how “progressive” it is, specifically as it casts black people instead of White english people in a (historical) drama in early 1800s England.

UK had black people in the late 1800s that were either baptised and "free" or semi slaves.

Apparently tokenism was a big thing in high society.

I'm just assuming that's what the tv show is about.

But then what agenda is it propagating? Its a fictional TV show.

Is this not like saying game of thrones is propagating an agenda of midgets being cunning?

While ethnic minorities existed in the UK in these times, they were a absolutely tiny amount (even london was 99% homogeneous in the early 1800s). Black people in the Aristocracy was almost non-existent which is what this series is about apparently.

Im not denying black people existed in the UK at this period i just dislike the reason the shows obviously being praised and is on netflix, as they love the idea of making European history woke with intentional less white people.

Never saw it. Would have guessed The Cabin was the most watched. That Brice Kirscher is hysterical. I think he's also on the Big Show airing now on TBS...

I can't really comment in terms of "less intentional white people" since I dont know if the show centers around 1 black family or 14, but, since its fictional and the premise of a black family in England isn't factually incorrect......

Also important to note.....its fiction.

This isn't like, black achilles or some chit.

And it seems to be only one way.

An agenda insinuates something is deliberately falsified for the purposes of propagating a view point.

A black family in 19th century London is not.

Look if some leftie thinks is good television good for them, but can you not see my point about what my problem is?

Also its not just one character they change a lot of things apparently its worse than i thought (they made the queen at the time african lmao)

Imagine if they did a “historical drama” set in china or whatever and they made the emperor white how stupid would that look.

it's not a documentary boyo

I can't quote your guys posts for some reason but obv a couple of points before I have some lunch & go out are:

1) Its fiction.

2) its fiction

3) It doesn't matter if it doesn't represent western society because Netflix is global & 82 million people watched it so whatever they're doing its obv a winning recipe considering it even seems like you two brahs have seen the tv show.

4) its fiction.

You guys are no different than the softies who get triggered by other dumb siht.

It's a TV show, not real life. I like it and will watch next season. It's not rocket science. If you're into that genre of TV show, you'll like Bridgerton, If you're not, you won't. Simple...

Saying its fiction is just a cop out. It being a made up story does not change the fact its set in a historical setting and changes things purely for the woke factor like making the queen black or there being african nobles in england or whatever.

Would it be okay then if we made a civil war drama which featured at times historical figures, like confederate generals robert e lee, portrayed by a black dude or the confederate army full of women and minorities? No because that is retarded and clearly never happened.

However its fine when its done in reverse. (especially in the UK which never had significant numbers of slaves on its shores).

Watching that show with my missus and her ma was awkward

Expected the "purists" to cry foul over the actors/racialist narrative, that's a classic. Show's fictional and doesn't attempt to come close to a historical drama or an accurate depiction of the time period, so JFL at ppl saying it's a "woke" narrative. It's more "Pride & Prejudice" with sex scenes that are -- honestly, too frequent and go on too long for my family viewing lmao.

Superstore is an excellent example of a Netflix show that handles the present cultural narrative and subverts expectations

It's a Shonda Rhimes production.

Its popularity is the same as the Gray's Anatomy recipe: take some setting, insert relationship drama and gratuitous amounts of sex = profit from your viewers.

Bridgerton is not a serious stab at a Imperial English setting just as Gray's isn't a serious stab at a Medical Drama.

If they made the queen black (im just assuming the queen is a queen that actually existed) then that's fukn ridiculous.

But, your example isn't viable here because the black guys character actually didn't exist (I assume) as a white guy or at all, historically speaking, like your Robert e Lee example. Thus, fiction.
