There is no shame in having binged all of the delicious BridgertonSeason 1 in a day, nor in rewatching it multiple times since its 2020 debut and leading up to Season 2. Netflix and Shondaland's adaptation of Julia Quinn's novels is all about coupling, and if you're anything like us you might have developed more than a few crushes throughout the course of the show.
