Expands upon the charm of Season 1 of “Bridgerton,” and makes up for the meh of Season 2, with a strong cast, fresh storyline and, most importantly, a new complexity and depth. Go to Full Review

Beverly M @donna_m 7h Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story is, in my opinion, the strongest and most emotionally resonant entry in the entire Bridgerton universe. More than a spin-off, it delivers a focused, deeply moving narrative that remains consistent and purposeful throughout. What truly sets it apart is the dual POV storytelling, which allows us to fully understand both Charlotte and George (their fears, sacrifices, and unwavering devotion). Their love feels earned, grounded in vulnerability rather than fantasy. India Amarteifio and Corey Mylchreest are brilliant, bringing quiet intensity and emotional depth to every moment. Their chemistry is intimate and heartbreaking, while Golda Rosheuvel and James Fleet beautifully show how love endures through time, duty, and loss. Underrated yet unforgettable, Queen Charlotte proves Bridgerton is at its best when character and emotion take center stage.

A lot of things unfolded and a lot of emotions were involved. The chemistry of the leads are definitely unmatched. The casting for the characters’ young and older versions are insane, I cannot imagine a better cast to play the roles. The ending literally punched a hole in my heart, I cannot stop thinking about it. I personally do not know the historically accurate rundown of Queen Charlotte’s story but I found this version to be quite interesting that I now am intrigued and encouraged to do my own research! See more matthias s @Thescreenasvor Jan 21 As a devoted fan of the Bridgerton universe, I’d give Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story a solid 78%. Season one delivers a sweeping, deeply romantic love story that is both tragic and achingly beautiful. Charlotte and George’s relationship feels tender, raw, and timeless, balancing fairy-tale devotion with real emotional pain. The series leans heavily into romance, and it works—every longing glance and whispered vow hits hard. The casting is impeccable, with performances that elevate the writing and add depth to familiar history. If you love romance that breaks your heart and heals it too, I really, really recommend this wholeheartedly. See more christine f Sep 29 Oh how I love Queen Charlotte. It's probably one of my favorite Bridgerton stories out of all of them. I love how it's just focused on the one couple and their story. From their first meeting you can tell the main characters have chemistry from the get-go. Everything was just perfect including the ending. I've probably watched it multiple times and I still get butterflies. See more johnna G. @jojolynn Sep 15 Loved it!! Wish there were more seasons or more spin offs like this one!!!
