The Art of the Swoon
Explicit content warning
01/12/21 • 124 min
Lydia & Tay discuss episode 3 of Netflix’s Bridgerton, “The Art of the Swoon.”
The female gaze is here to stay! Daphne meets a prince and we take a firm stand against drinking milk straight from the jug, trudging endlessly through puddles, and stealing roses from vases... and a firm stand in favor of Simon in general. Swooning gets a closer look, as does Simon’s spoon moment and how the episode functions as an adaptation.
Next week, we take on episode 4, “An Affair of Honor.”
What we’re watching & reading:
“Sylvie’s Love” on Prime (2020) with Tessa Thompson, Nnamdi Asomugha, Eva Longoria, Aja Naomi King, Jemima Kirke, Tone Bell and Regé-Jean Page
Alyssa Cole, When No One Is Watching (2020)
Olivia Dade, Spoiler Alert (2020)

Next Episode
An Affair of Honor
Lydia & Tay talk adaptation, romance, class, race, and casually leaving around diamond necklaces in our analysis and recap of episode 4 of Netflix’s Bridgerton, “An Affair of Honor.”
The men in this series are VERY well dressed, and it is glorious. We finally get a big, swoony kiss, or as we all like to call it, “defilement.” Prepare yourself for whiplash, because there’s a lot of longing glances and dizzying relays between balls and other drama. Surprise, actions have consequences! Very dramatic consequences. Horseback rescue consequences.
