Speaking of blatant mistakes and infuriating historical inaccuracies, Bridgerton is the one show that can’t keep getting away with it.
While Game of Thrones saw the most online backlash for its biggest slip in the form of a Starbucks cup in one of the final season’s scenes (which went hilariously viral), this show isn’t by far the worst immersion violator. We’re sorry to be pointing fingers but dear Bridgerton fans, your favorite period drama has been going unpunished for its crimes against historical accuracy for way too long!
Bridgerton Girls Are Way Ahead of Their Time
The one thing that’s the most immersion-breaking and yet happens in every single episode of Bridgerton is its female characters’ looks. The TV show is set in the early 1800s, but the Bridgerton girls are not aware of that, floating around with highlights, contour, and even false eyelashes. Falsies in the 1800s, for crying out loud!
But falsies aside, there was an even more blatant and in-the-face issue just now in Season 3. In case you haven’t noticed, dear Penelope has acrylic fake nails on in some scenes, which is just mind-blowing.
For a period drama, Bridgerton doesn’t care much about staying historically accurate, does it? Or perhaps, it’s us who don’t understand something about British high society fashion in the 19th century.
Bridgerton Also Invented Parking Before Cars
In case you didn’t know, horse-driven carriages didn’t park the way modern cars do; in fact, there are quite a few differences between how horses and automobiles work. But either those distinctions are not the case in the Bridgerton universe or the local masterminds designed and implemented car parking before cars themselves. Why?
In Season 1, good old editors forgot to edit out parking lines on the road where the carriage was passing, leading to a rather bizarre scene: in London, those parking lines first appeared in the 1950s, so Bridgerton was a little bit off with its timing. Just about one and a half centuries, to be precise — but that’s more of a fun slip.
Those falsies and fakies, though? We don’t think we’ll ever find it in ourselves to forgive Bridgerton for them, unless the show starts taking itself seriously in Season 4 and gets rid of them. There were other ways to look stunning in the 1800s, after all.
