The first scene itself sets a definite tone of the movie. There is death and destruction everywhere. Trenches are full of dismembered bodies floating in the murky waters and gloom is shrouding faster than the ever present mist mixed with the gunpowder smoke.

From Words To Views: Bridgerton (Season 2)
To be frank, I was a bit sceptical about watching this season of the famous series. The promos and trailers all look promising but what was really not motivating me enough to watch this latest season was too much familiar love story between the lead pairs or rather a love triangle.
