This "Bridgerton" prequel is just as sexy as the series's first two seasons, but it goes to even more emotional and complex places than its predecessors. Its exploration of King George's harrowing struggles with mental illness and Queen Charlotte's journey to finding her place as the queen makes for a gripping, achingly romantic, and completely heartbreaking story. A side plot involving Lady Danbury's youth adds layers of nuance and romantic tension. Of course, there are plenty of unforgettable fashion choices and lavish parties along the way for lovers of "Bridgerton"'s decadent Regency-era aesthetic. — Eden Arielle Gordon, assistant editor, celebrity and entertainment
