“Bridgerton,” a dramatic and sexually charged period piece, is the first show of Shonda Rhimes’ highly anticipated slate of content from her $150 million deal with Netflix. The showrunner Chris Van Dusen’s adaptation of Julia Quinn’s “Bridgerton” novels takes classic period piece tropes and turns them on their head. The show maintains the formality of 1800s Regency age England with courtship, elegant, bejeweled costuming, and a heavy emphasis on the value of a young woman’s modesty while contrasting it with sexual tension so thick one could cut it with a knife. The eight-episode series premiered on Netflix on December 25, 2020, and has remained in the Top 10 in the United States, currently at number two.
