Without being too crass, the content from Bridgerton Season 1 doesn't stray too far from that of softcore porn. And we mean that with the best of intentions. We're also exaggerating a tad bit.
Diehard fans immediately noticed a shift in Season 2. With lots of talk about it having fewer intimate love scenes, Chris Van Dusen weighed in. In an interview with Digital Spy, Chris described Anthony Bridgerton and Kate Sharma's romance as "incredibly fraught and charged" and that it's a "sexy enemies-to-lovers love story."
"I wouldn't necessarily call it a more subdued approach," he stated, clearly disagreeing with the consensus view. "I think our approach to intimacy and sex on the show really remained the same from Season 1," Chris said, before explaining that all sex scenes are choreographed via the assistance of an intimacy coordinator.
"The steamy moments are just as sexy and scandalous as Season 1, as far as the longing looks across the room and the near finger and grazes and the hand touches."
Chris Van Dusen considers all those little butterfly-inducing moments to be important for building sexual tension. Whether you find this approach sweet or excruciating, you can always re-binge Season 1!
Seasons 1 and 2 of Bridgerton are currently streaming on Netflix.
