They each long for companionship, but there’s not a strong sense that they each long for each other, let alone each other’s bodies. There’s a scene before they consummate where George is watching Charlotte as she peers through a telescope, before quickly looking away when she turns back to him, which I found to be really endearing.īut I think the show suffers because of their physical separation. However, you know they love each other at least a little-Amarteifio and Mylchreest are maybe better at the falling-in-love moments than they are at the sexy ones. Because of the demands of their jobs, they are likely the only two people in their lives who can truly understand each other, which is cute! But the show makes it hot when they rile each other up by discussing the status of the king’s “bits.” “From what I’ve seen, he has large, healthy bits,” Reynolds teases while unbuttoning Brimsley’s pants. And, they don’t hesitate to show where their loyalties lie: Brimsley defends Charlotte in the failed consummation attempt, while Reynolds defends George. What I love about this scene, before we even get into the sex of it all, is how much it tells you about their characters: They are two people for whom their job has become their life, to the degree that they find the pretense of working to constitute foreplay. ![]() Nadira: This is the early sex scene I really wanted to talk about! If I’m not mistaken, this scene-in which Charlotte’s royal aide, Brimsley (Sam Clemmett), and King George’s royal aide, Reynolds (Freddie Dennis), are seen having a clandestine quickie-is maybe the Bridgerton-verse’s first gay sex scene? The two tear each other’s clothes off and throw each other against furniture while discussing Charlotte and George’s failure to consummate their marriage. And who could blame her? Plug and chug may get the job done when it comes to solving math problems, but in the bedroom it leaves something to be desired. Something about Thomas’ face screams that this is an annoying chore that she’s had to deal with plenty of times before, as if sex with her husband (Cyril Nri) is comparable to washing some particularly tedious dishes. In fact, it might be some of the most unappealing sex I’ve seen on screen, in any movie or TV show, in a while. Nadira Goffe: I am envious of Thomas’ general looks but I was not envious of this! This is by far the most unsexy sex the Bridgerton-verse has offered us. (Side note: Arsema Thomas is absolutely gorgeous in this show.) ![]() We see only Agatha’s face, staring up at the ceiling, and hear a series of grunts. Is this … the most unsexy sex we have seen in a Bridgerton show? I was honestly surprised by how abject it was. Rebecca Onion: We’ve gotten to know Lady Danbury as a grande dame in the first two seasons of the show, and now we’re getting her backstory, which is intertwined with Charlotte’s. Season 2 had a classic enemies-to-lovers plot-remember “ You are the bane of my existence, and the object of all my desires”?-and was a slow burn, delivering no sex between the central couple, Anthony Bridgerton (Jonathan Bailey) and Kate Sharma (Simone Ashley) until the final two episodes, in which Shonda let us have it with a delicious rain-soaked liaison in a gazebo and a happily-ever-after ending. The second half of Bridgerton Season 1, with Daphne Bridgerton (Phoebe Dynevor) and Simon Basset (Regé-Jean Page) as the central couple, was full of sex. The first two seasons of the Shonda Rhimes megahit established Bridgerton’s reputation as a show that was not just breezy but steamy. On Thursday, Netflix released the new prequel series Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story, which gives us the backstory of the titular monarch (Golda Rosheuvel). This installment contains spoilers for Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story. In Sex Reviews, writers offer a sober critical assessment of the sex scenes in new releases. ![]()
