If you haven't seen Black sails, you should.

She could be a breath taking Targaryen as well

Giving me Lannister vibes, but the Lannister’s and Targaryen’s seemingly look enough alike anyway.

I’d kill for some more Jessica Parker Kennedy too. She’d do great in this genre.

I unironically think it’s pretty good if you’re not repulsed by the genre lol

Straight, single, asian male here. I pushed myself through Season 1 thinking it was okay but knew that it wasn't for me.
Season 2 episode 3 though, I think that although still flawed, was the show at its very best and locked me in.

Don't feel obligated to watch something just for the actor.

So, the benefit of this show is that every season is a complete story with a different love story. So you can start with season three episode one and only miss out on a tiny bit of character info (which you'll realistically get in the first 20 minutes).
It is full on unapologic romance though. Doesn't try to be anything else but that. It's pretty people wearing cute clothes with a lot of sexual angst (and actual sex).

Enjoyed the first couple of episodes, when it was trying to be Pride and Prejudice, but when 50 Shades of Gray took the wheel, and never let go I gave up.

If you like Black Sails, you might like Bridgerton.
Especially season 2.

She's a good actress and I think she'll fit in Bridgerton, but I absolutely hated Eleanor in Black Sails.

I think she will be Benedict’s love interest
TheFantasticXman1 t1_isco9zw wrote
Benedict's love interest in the books is called Sophie and she's the illegitimate daughter of an Earl who is basically Cinderella for her stepmother and stepsisters. This woman could probably have some sort of connection with Benedict (most likely sexual), but I don't think anything more than that. That is, if she's even going to be associated with Benedict at all.

I thought Penelope is supposed to be Cinderella?
TheFantasticXman1 t1_isj41i1 wrote
Nope. It's Sophie and Benedict's story that's supposed to emulate Cinderella.
Brainiac7777777 t1_isjbl37 wrote
No, it’s the Featherington’s. Penelope’s mother is evil and she has twin sisters that are mean to her
TheFantasticXman1 t1_isjisnf wrote
No. The Featheringtons are just the Featheringtons. Yes, Penelope's mother treats her poorly, but she's not a servant in her own home. She is still has immense privilege and even makes her own money from being Lady Whistledown. She is on the marriage market and her mother is not actively trying to keep her away from any eligible bachelors.
Sophie on the other hand, as said above, is the illegitimate daughter of an Earl. Her father marries a woman with two daughters of her own who treat Sophie poorly. After her father dies, they reduce her to a maidservant. She meets Benedict at a masquerade ball. If you read the plot of Sophie and Benedict's story, you'll see the parallels. Continue on with Colin and Penelope's, they're nothing like Cinderella and Prince Charming.

Are the books worth reading?
TheFantasticXman1 t1_isoj1ku wrote
I've never read them myself, but I have read up on them. From what I've heard, the TV show is quite different from the books, so much so that in some areas, the TV show is better eg. Anthony is a much bigger AH in the books and is borderline abusive to Kate, Benedict in the books is more like Colin in the TV show and Colin in the books is more like Benedict in the TV show, Eloise isn't the outspoken feminist she is in the TV show and she's the one who witnessed their father's death rather than Anthony, etc. If you want to check it out, cool!

I've heard they aren't.
Pre-existing fans of the book would say otherwise, of course, but people who have tried reading the books because they like the show generally don't like it.

Just as long as she can still play Emma Frost when the X-Men come to the MCU...

Well she does fit the show's general criteria of "impossibly, ethereally good looking"
