Critics Consensus

A resplendent romance between two of the most interesting characters in the Bridgerton saga, Queen Charlotte is a spin-off that arguably perfects the primary series' formula.

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.

The complex and compelling backstory of Queen Charlotte (Golda Rosheuvel) is the richfodder for Bridgerton’s prequel of the same name.

Brilliant timing on the streamer’s part and you couldn’t get a more glamorous version of the royal story...

If you enjoy watching all things royal, then the opulent set design, the extravagant garments, and the creative hairstyles and makeup will not leave you disappointed.

2/5

The central romance and lack of chemistry between the central lovers is the real problem here.

LGBTQ+ representation in the Bridgerton universe was long overdue, so what they did with Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story was a good starting point.

The love story felt so much deeper than I expected, and by the final episode I was completely emotionally wrecked. I honestly think it's even better than Bridgerton.

I wanted to love this, but one scene just kind of took over.

This series helps you better understand the story behind Queen Charlotte and her romance with the king, a love story you can’t miss! Full of emotions, music, good costumes, and colors.

It's actually 5 stars. I'm deducting one because as much as I want to watch it again I just can't bring myself to because it makes me cry sooo much. What a beautiful story on love, empowerment and friendship.

I watched it for the Bridgerton backstory and the hype. I was not impressed.
