Lydia & Tay discuss episode 3 of Netflix’s Bridgerton, “The Art of the Swoon.”
The female gaze is here to stay! Daphne meets a prince and we take a firm stand against drinking milk straight from the jug, trudging endlessly through puddles, and stealing roses from vases... and a firm stand in favor of Simon in general. Swooning gets a closer look, as does Simon’s spoon moment and how the episode functions as an adaptation.
Next week, we take on episode 4, “An Affair of Honor.”
What we’re watching & reading:
“Sylvie’s Love” on Prime (2020) with Tessa Thompson, Nnamdi Asomugha, Eva Longoria, Aja Naomi King, Jemima Kirke, Tone Bell and Regé-Jean Page
