Bridgerton is based on a series of romance novels and the show has really leaned into the fizziness that a good historical romance can give you. It is not historically accurate, it's not that realistic and it's not trying to be. It's largely a romantic fantasy with period trappings and some fun family squabbles to boot. If you would like that, then definitely check out the show. I've enjoyed both seasons but I read the novels so I went in knowing what to expect. It's not like Downton and it's not going for that vibe or tone at all.
