CINDERELLA (1950) BRIDGERTON, SEASON 4 (2026)

[hwaetis]

powerful women recognise each other

[bridferchglyn]

Bridgerton S4’s treatment of the upstairs-downstairs issues and dynamic is just brilliant.

Yerin Ha really anchors it as Sophie Baek, and I adore the way Jess Brownell et al use her role as a POV character to introduce a whole expanded world & style of shooting that world, whilst still tying it into the Bridgerton style. It feels less like a “new world” and more like an extension of the world that we’ve just never seen before, still beautiful but also more grounded.

The way the background characters of the past 3 seasons become POV characters? GOD, it did something to me. Really highlighted the way servants are mostly furniture in the world of the upper class. Gorgeous work.

We finally get to see the Bridgertons as mostly spoiled and a bit useless, whilst remaining as loveable and complex as ever. Ben is WILDLY naïve about basically anything practical, and particularly about Sophie’s position in society. This is treated as his arc to overcome, alongside his own fundamental mismatch with the Expectations of Society (TM). Perfect use of the conventions of the romantic male lead to explore class themes.

The mistress issue is SO well done. The highlighting through Sophie’s backstory that being a mistress is a second-rate relationship that does not guarantee permanent safety for women or their children, versus the way it is presented to Ben by other rich men as a way to find genuine love without disappointing his mother. The scene where we get the big romantic swelling and confession of love, and then Ben asks Sophie to be his MISTRESS?! And he means it so sincerely, not having a clue how un-romantic that offer is? I love you Jess Brownell, this is wonderful narrative work.

Also, and this could easily be a whole post in itself: THE MAID WARS.

The whole team are exploring labour rights, consent and class issues with a far more unflinching approach than I expected. It’s still Brigerton — optimistic, tongue in cheek, fun, stylised and beautiful — but it’s also more mature, more grounded, and better for it.

GOD I love the romance genre when it’s done right.

Btw, opening Pride Month with Wednesday getting Enid, for no reason at all, a souvenir of one of her favourite serial killers during Summer break... is kinda gay.

[kisakisaxo]

I don't care what anyone says. Enid Sinclair being willing to sacrifice her humanity and risk being stuck an Alpha wolf for eternity to save Wednesday is an act of love.

Enid is literally willing to die for her, just as Wednesday is for her.

I know you're all too terminally emo to do what had to be done, so I made an executive decision and spiked your sake with the marigold. You had no right to do that, asshоlе!

I think I’ve seen some similar takes on this already but the whole lila and five get stuck in the time line subway subplot had a lot of potential actually but they just BUTCHERED it with the whole romance thing

imo the could have just done this:

- show them bickering and arguing, fighting over wich station/line to chose next in a sibling like manner

- show lila falling asleep on fives shoulder as she keeps mumbling about some stupid thing Diego has done while five tops that story with an even more stupid anecdote from their childhood

- show five trying to shave himself without a mirror and failing miserably until lila rolls her eyes and goes “give it here you absolute imbecile” and then helping him out BUT STAYING AT A REASONABLE DISTANCE AND NOT BREATHING ALL OVER HIS FACE

- show them freezing on the subway floor, five mentioning how they could save body heat by staying close to each other, visibly uncomfortable, and lila pulls a face but they end up falling asleep shoulder to shoulder NOT CUDDLING

- show them at the greenhouse timeline, covering the walls with self-drawn maps and complicated calculations, brooding night after day after night, trying to figure this out with lila drawing little hearts on the paper with her kids initials in it

- show five finding the map on the subway, immediately rushing to tell lila whose face lights up like a supernova and as she exclaims “fuck, we’re going home!” she tries to high five him (it doesn’t really work, because five does NOT do high fives) and then pulls him in for a hug. five just about lets that happen, but he smiles a tiny smile and they arrive just in time for Christmas

basically instead of the romance that gave everyone the ick, they could have just gone for the whole sibling like dynamic between the two of them that I adored a lot in the previous season(s)!!!!
