	Media	Author	Review
		Kathryn VanArendonk Vulture	"The rumors are true: 'Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story' is, in fact, a rare gem among the prequel set"
		Sabrina Barr Metro	"Are you ready to feel your heart swell, smash into a million pieces and then be mended all over again? We sure are (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"
		Lucy Mangan The Guardian	"A ravishing, romp-packed prequel (...) It's a comic, emotive pleasure –with plenty of sex (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"
		John Anderson The Wall Street Journal	"We largely do [enjoy] -one of the charms of the Bridgerton enterprise has been its tongue-in-cheekiness, an acknowledgment of its absurdity and focus on frocks instead of facts"
		Amber Dowling The Globe and Mail	"It's an entertaining fictionalization of a historical period of royal life. One that speculates what society could have been had real change started decades ago"
		Meghan O'Keefe Decider	"[It] has enough to hook historic romance fans happy to look the other way when it comes to historical accuracy in exchange for a sublimely acted love story"
		Arezou Amin Collider	"The creative team has really outdone themselves, upping the visual ante without ever overwhelming the characters"
		Morgan Cormack Radio Times	"Unlike 'Bridgerton' in the best way (...) The prequel is more thoughtful, relatable and topical than its original series (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"
		Vicky Jessop London Evening Standard	"This bodice-ripping, sparkling fairytale still has plenty to recommend it (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"
		Mary Kate Carr AV Club	"[It] is wildly overstuffed (...) Any attempt to go deeper sadly comes up short"
		Brian Lowry CNN	"'Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story' understandably doesn't bother trying to reinvent that wheel, but rather seems content to deftly embroider another layer beneath it"
		Karama Horne The Wrap	"Netflix’s 'Bridgerton' prequel course-corrects mistakes from the original"
		Lacy Baugher Paste Magazine	"Bittersweet and romantic, 'Queen Charlotte' is a 'Bridgerton' prequel that often surpasses the original"
		Emily Zemler The New York Observer	"'Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story' does offers lavish escapism with a hint of social commentary"
		Shania Russell SlashFilm	"'Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story' may share the flaws of its mothership series, but it also offers all the same virtues"
		Yasmeen Hamadeh Mashable	"The prequel is ['Bridgerton']'s most ambitious season yet, including the yearning romance we all adore but also new and darker themes that make the world of the Ton even more compelling"
		Petrana Radulovic Polygon	"The true diamond of the extended 'Bridgerton' universe"
		Kristen Baldwin Entertainment Weekly	"A 'Bridgerton' prequel that earns its pedigree"
		Anita Singh Telegraph	"Unexpectedly emotional spin-off will leave you weeping (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"

		Angie Han The Hollywood Reporter	"A delectable romantic treat (...) Amarteifio and Mylchreest share an immediate and palpable chemistry
		Cristina Escobar rogerebert.com	"It is fun and bawdy, offering more than the sometimes-questionable pleasures of 'Bridgerton' seasons past. It gives us more than gossip and delivers on the 'great love story' it promised between Queen Charlotte and King George"
		Alison Herman Variety	"'Queen Charlotte' is the best 'Bridgerton' (...) a sexy, escapist love story with a maturity and substance that only adds to its eroticism"
