I thought I wouldn't like anything Bridgerton after the first season (wasn't vibing on that second season at all), but here I am with Queen Charlotte. I love this limited series. It's way better than both seasons of Bridgerton because it has depth, maturity and excellent acting. I appreciate the telling of the origin story of how Queen Charlotte came to power by an arranged marriage to King George. Then how they fell in love. There's so much chemistry between the two leads, it blows your mind. It also introduces us to Lady Danbury which is played by Srsema Thomas...bravo to her. The young actress who plays the young Queen Charlotte, India Amarteifio, is superb. She shows a stellar acting range portraying the young queen, that belies her youth and acting experience. Here's hoping that Amarteifio is well on her way to a phenomenal career. And of course Golda Rosheuvel as the older Queen Charlotte is as excellent in this as she is in the regular series.
Truthfully, there's not many missteps in Queen Charlotte, and if there are some, they're so minor, they're hardly noticable. Every actor/actress in this series is cast right and understood the assignment. I wish Shonda Rhimes would have made this more than just a 6 episode limited series.
