Something about Thomas’ face screams that this is an annoying chore that she’s had to deal with plenty of times before, as if sex with her husband (Cyril Nri) is comparable to washing some particularly tedious dishes. In fact, it might be some of the most unappealing sex I’ve seen on screen, in any movie or TV show, in a while. Nadira Goffe: I am envious of Thomas’ general looks but I was not envious of this! This is by far the most unsexy sex the Bridgerton-verse has offered us. (Side note: Arsema Thomas is absolutely gorgeous in this show.) We see only Agatha’s face, staring up at the ceiling, and hear a series of grunts. Is this … the most unsexy sex we have seen in a Bridgerton show? I was honestly surprised by how abject it was. Rebecca Onion: We’ve gotten to know Lady Danbury as a grande dame in the first two seasons of the show, and now we’re getting her backstory, which is intertwined with Charlotte’s. Season 2 had a classic enemies-to-lovers plot-remember “ You are the bane of my existence, and the object of all my desires”?-and was a slow burn, delivering no sex between the central couple, Anthony Bridgerton (Jonathan Bailey) and Kate Sharma (Simone Ashley) until the final two episodes, in which Shonda let us have it with a delicious rain-soaked liaison in a gazebo and a happily-ever-after ending. The second half of Bridgerton Season 1, with Daphne Bridgerton (Phoebe Dynevor) and Simon Basset (Regé-Jean Page) as the central couple, was full of sex. The first two seasons of the Shonda Rhimes megahit established Bridgerton’s reputation as a show that was not just breezy but steamy. On Thursday, Netflix released the new prequel series Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story, which gives us the backstory of the titular monarch (Golda Rosheuvel). This installment contains spoilers for Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story. In Sex Reviews, writers offer a sober critical assessment of the sex scenes in new releases.
