Why It Ranks
Regency romance as pop spectacle.
Score Breakdown
The Review
Bridgerton is Netflix's most successful original series and Shonda Rhimes's streaming masterpiece. The color-conscious Regency romance shattered viewership records and proved that period drama could be steamy, diverse, and unapologetically fun. The orchestral pop covers, the sumptuous costumes, and Rege-Jean Page's Season 1 debut made it an instant sensation.
Fun Fact
Bridgerton's first season was watched by 82 million households in its first 28 days, making it the most-watched Netflix original series at the time of its release.
