I oddly enjoy it. Despite the over the top, American loudness of our main character group. Because it does seem very American. Everything about the show screams it.
Does it seem a rip off of Bridgerton, yes.
I cringe when the group of girls scream like they're on spring break. When they go swimming in their underclothes with batchelors.
I'm only 3 episodes in but their behaviours, their vocabulary, their style of dress are very inconsistent with what would have been the norm.
Instead it seems like a group of Valley cheerleaders have been transplanted into mid 1800s England.
I guess it's made made to appeal to a TikTok generation's imagining of what that time would be like.
Despite the faults of the show and my inward cringing of just how...American...it is, I kind of enjoy it. Most of the cast are capable actors.
If you don't mind glossing over historical accuracy and enjoy a bit of vapidness, you probably wouldn't mind spending a few hours watching this.
