Sometimes, you're simply better off being a young and wild bohemian lothario, loitering in seedy bars and waking up with more than one woman in your bed. Bridgerton season 4 puts an abrupt stop to Benedict's (Luke Thompson) foolhardy days, and there's a part of me that wonders if things are best left the way they are.
Our first four episodes of the new season have a real 'if it ain't broke, don't fix it' energy to them, and not just because Netflix has annoyingly decided to split season 4 in half. While Benedict and new character Sophie (Yerin Ha) charmingly embark on a touch-and-go romance, everything else around them feels like more of the same.
