‘OMG these two just have me screaming, laughing, kicking and crying all at the same time!!! I LOVE YOU POLIN!! I LOVE YOU!!’
But that racy six-minute sex scene between Penelope and Colin has divided critics, calling it “embarrassing” and “one of the sexiest moments on television.”
While Aramide Timudu of Variety called the scene “the sexiest things seen on television since the first series of Bridgerton”, Vicky Jessop of the Evening Standard felt that the long-awaited regency romp left a little to be desired.
“This is not torrid,” he said. “Watching it is like watching two teenagers fumbling their way through an awkward hold.”
Critics’ opinions on the second part were largely limited to episodes five and six, with Netflix saving the final two for its main release on Thursday.
Vicky gave the second part a damning two-star review and asked: ‘Is Bridgerton losing its touch?’
