'Bridgerton' Season 4, Part 2 Review: Netflix's Hottest Hit Loses Steam

Bridgerton has always been a lot of things. Fun, if a little goofy. Boundary-pushing in some ways while still staying within a pretty strict mold. Steamy at times, even when it played things safe (by Netflix standards). But was it ever this boring? The first four episodes of the Regency romance’s fourth season introduced us to yet another Bridgerton scion with yet another crush on yet another love interest who, for some reason or another, simply couldn’t be together due to there needing to be some plot. That’s all fine — that’s what we come here for! But four seasons and 32 episodes (and one spin-off) in, it’s all starting to feel a little tired. It’s almost as if Bridgerton is finally sick of itself.
