Good day, dear listeners, and welcome to another episode of Sort of Brilliant. I'm your host Lady Whistledown, a much classier and much Regency-er version of Gossip Girl, and I'm here to reveal the houses of Simon Basset, Duke of Hastings, and Miss Daphne Bridgerton. Is our sorting correct? Yes always. Are you going to get sick of this specific type of romantic pairing? Probably! This isn't our fault, blame Hollywood for being completely unimaginative, or more accurately, blame us as the audience for being simps who would lick this character dynamic off the floor of a crowded ballroom. Bridgerton is a series that unapologetically shoves overused comfort tropes, softcore porn and instrumental versions of Taylor Swift down your throat, and you can't even pretend you're above that because you're here, listening to this episode and eating it all up. I bet you know about the Tik Tok musical too, don't you. Enjoy the episode, we're ashamed of ourselves (we're not at all).
