From one flavour of escapist fantasy to another!

It's going to be a sexy good time!

Well that’s two of my favourite things combined. Great news!

Well, that's 4 stars attached. Who's the fighter, who's the rogue, who's the cleric and who's the wizard?

I'm assuming Chris Pine is the/a main character, and a fighter-y type.
Page is pretty suave on Bridgerton, so maybe someone more rogueish...but I could also really see him as a paladin.
But that's just unimaginative fan-casting on my part. I hope to be surprised.

I'm sorry, Bridgerton is Netflix's biggest ever show? By what metric?

By there own account, I think. They don't release their numbers much.
Regardless, it's one of the newest, biggest shows "everyone" is talking about. I've watched it, and though I dislike a few things about it, it's fun. Page is a pretty good actor, I think, and definitely has some real screen presence.

What other metric does Netflix have... viewers! My good man!

Pride and Prejudice meets Gossip Girl, without the whitewash.

Huh that's surprising. I watched the first episode, and it seemed incredibly slow. Definitely not my taste, though Page was probably better than most of the actors in the show.
