The soundtrack of Netflix's new bet features current hits like 'In My Blood', 'Bad Guy' or 'Wildest Dreams', by Taylor Swift, among others
It is being one of the series this Christmas, to which the (rather "the") fans of the romantic novel have surrendered.
We are talking about
The Bridgertons
, Netflix's new bet, released on December 25.
The delicious and fresh eight-part period drama,
set in the life of London's high society during the Regency period in the early 19th century
, chronicles the "difficult" life of young debutantes of the time when they are presented at court for find husband.
In this
stressful
and
competitive
world, their existence is reduced to trying on and buying dresses, to being invited to dances and receiving flowers or visits from their suitors (if they are lucky), always under the watchful eye of their mothers or "carbines" .
The plot, which begins with the Bridgerton family (made up of a widow with eight children) revolutionized with preparations for the debut in the "marriage market" of Daphne, the eldest of the daughters,
has everything to become the series of the moment and catch the viewer who enjoys this genre
and who, at the same time, wants to escape from current problems.
To the obviously simple, banal and even superficial of the argument we must add some elements that make everything very dazzling, such as the palaces and mansions where the action takes place, the flowery gardens and parks that are always sunny (although we are talking about England) and the majestic ballrooms.
There is also a huge presence of attractive counts, dukes, princes,
ladies
and
lords
, all with exquisite manners, precious and colorful clothes and impressive jewels, and, of course, some
handsome and rich protagonists
(watch out for the Duke of Hastings) who live intense love stories, with the right dose of nudity and sex.
Everything is pretty and pleasant (the original version is recommended), including the
impressive and recognizable soundtrack that has become one of the great claims of the series
.
Waltzes by Strauss or Shostakovich and symphonies by Haydn, Beethoven or Mozart
are interspersed in the great parties with themes by Taylor Swift, Billie Eilish or Marron 5
, among others.
Chapter after chapter, the protagonists suddenly move to the
tune of the blue Danube
as, for example, in
In My Blood
, by Shawn Mendes, performed by a symphony orchestra with the same elegance.
This is the case in episode 2, when Daphne and the Duke of Hastings, giving off a ravishing chemistry between them, dance to a classic version of
the Canadian singer's
hit
.
Other hits are also recognizable such as
Thank u, Next
(Ariadna Grande),
Girls Like You
(Marron 5),
Wildest Dreams
(Taylor Swift), the psychedelic
Bad Guy
(Billie Eilish)
or
Strange
, a song by the British Celeste that sounds under the violin chords (

eye
) on the main characters' wedding night.
The series, based on the famous books by American writer Julia Quinn, has been the most viewed on the platform in just a couple of weeks.
Starring Phoebe Dynevor (Daphne Bridgerton) and Regé-Jean Page (Simon Basset, Duke of Hastings), it is produced by the also American Shonda Rhimes (
Grey's Anatomy
) and it reveals criticism of the role of young women at that time and the pressure they had to find a husband, in addition to claiming the role of women to make their own decisions.
