Bridgerton review: This raunchy corset carry-on is just what we need right now 

Period drama Bridgerton on Netflix features a Derry Girl and the voice of Julie Andrews. as well  as having plenty more to keep you entertained over the next few days 

Harriet Cains, Bessie Carter and Nicola Coughlan in Bridgerton, on Netflix.

It may be Christmas for you, but December 25 was the day Bridgerton started steaming on Netflix. Yes, steaming, it’s not a typo. This costume drama is full of layered, complex characters. The females are curvy and skinny, sexy and innocent, simmering and simpering, clever and clueless, powerful and powerless.

As for the males, well, there’s strapping britches-clad thighs everywhere. Two, in particular, are attached to a maverick baron with manscaped eyebrows... all the better to arch at us.
