I loved your thoughtful dive into the rising popularity of Regency-era murder mysteries. When you mention P.D. James’s "clever reimagining" of Mr. Darcy and Elizabeth as investigators, it perfectly captures how this subgenre blends familiar characters with thrilling twists.

Thank you for what you wrote about Queen Charlotte! I just finished it night before last and was completely amazed by how GOOD it is. Bridgerton itself is like comforting, familiar boxed mac&cheese served in a fancy bowl – kinda silly, but keeps you wanting more. Queen Charlotte is a beautiful, rich, complex, chef prepared, utterly delicious casserole of fine cheese and pasta that leaves you satisfied and relishing the memory.

What a great description of both shows, I love it! Queen Charlotte really blew me away, I’m so glad you loved and appreciated it, too.
