Lydia & Tay talk adaptation, romance, class, race, and casually leaving around diamond necklaces in our analysis and recap of episode 4 of Netflix’s Bridgerton, “An Affair of Honor.”
The men in this series are VERY well dressed, and it is glorious. We finally get a big, swoony kiss, or as we all like to call it, “defilement.” Prepare yourself for whiplash, because there’s a lot of longing glances and dizzying relays between balls and other drama. Surprise, actions have consequences! Very dramatic consequences. Horseback rescue consequences.
