After almost two years of waiting, The Bridgerton Chronicles Season 4 Part 1 hs finally landed on Netflix, and fans wasted no time flooding social media with reactions, jokes, and memes.
As the new season shines the spotlight on Benedict Bridgerton, the loudest conversation online isn’t just about romance, but also about what viewers felt, what made them laugh, and what further frustrated them.
Much of the initial buzz focuses on how different this season is from the last.
Many fans say the series has recaptured some of the charm that made it a cultural hit in its early days.
One viewer summed up the sentiment clearly: “Such an improvement from S3! Looks like the spark has returned a bit with this season. Yerin is an amazing Sophie.”
This sentiment was echoed across platforms, with praise directed to Yerin Ha’s portrayal of Sophie Baek and the story’s more grounded emotional tone.
At the same time, fans were quick to poke holes in the plot, and message boards did most of the talking.
A recurring joke focuses on Benoît’s inability to identify the mysterious Silver Lady, despite spending an entire evening with her.
One frustrated fan wrote: “I loved it, but it really pissed me off that apparently Benedict didn’t identify that the lady in silver was Asian? He couldn’t be like, she was Asian with black hair? like that would have really narrowed the search, especially since there aren’t many Asian nobles.”
Netflix viewers also shared mixed feelings about the series’ visual style.
While the lavish costumes remain a signature of the series, not everyone is thrilled with how far the designs have come.
One comment that gained traction read: “I’m sorry but I’m literally so annoyed that they’re not taking into account the comments about how ridiculous the excessive sequins and rhinestones are on the costumes… This looks so cheesy. I miss the look of seasons 1 and 2 so much.”
Still, many longtime fans have leaned into the drama and gossip that defines Bridgerton.
One excited viewer posted: “I just finished watching and came straight here. I read the book a long time ago, before the first season aired, but these Bridgertons really love their tea lol! Dearest reader, let me warn you…it’s overflowing tea season. And these gardens, they are just in bloom……………………!”
This playful tone mirrors much of the online discussion, where viewers seem happy to be back in the mess and all.
Book readers also weighed in, particularly those invested in the story of Benoît and Sophie.
One fan wrote: “Love, love this season so far. Benedict and Sofie’s story is true to the books (which I desperately wanted). All the other subplots are also very interesting, especially Violet. Her discussion with Francesca about the ‘summit’, hahaha I love seeing her awkward. I was seriously disappointed after last season, but I can’t wait for the sequel.”
Others echoed this enthusiasm, praising the supporting arcs alongside the central romance.
However, not all reactions have been enthusiastic. Some viewers admitted that the Cinderella-inspired elements didn’t completely land.
“The whole Cinderella story didn’t do much for me, I’m not going to lie. I think it’s dragged out and overused, but oh well,” one fan shared.
Another offered a more measured view: “Episode 1 was boring…BUT episodes 2,3,4 are awesome…I enjoyed Beneophie’s acting and storyline…”
As the memes and reactions continue to circulate, about masked balls, lost shoes, and Benedict’s confusion, one thing is clear: The Bridgerton Chronicles Season 4 the fans are speaking again.
Whether they’re praising the performances, criticizing the costumes, or laughing at the chaos, viewers are fully engaged, and with part two still to come, the conversation around Tone doesn’t appear to be slowing down any time soon.
