00:23There's more spoilers here than a gossip column.
00:25Previously on Bridgerton.
00:27Bridgerton begins in 1813 in Regency, England.
00:33It centers on the lives and loves of the Bridgerton family.
00:37Eight siblings who are conveniently named in alphabetical order.
00:42Season one follows the eldest daughter, Daphne Bridgerton,
00:45and opens on her introduction to court.

00:51Flawless, my dear.
00:53A scandal sheet written by the mysterious Lady Whistledown
00:59begins circulating in London society, exposing the secrets of the town.
01:03This is all here.

01:07This one lists subjects by name in full.
