> TV ShowsAfter three seasons of waltzing around it, Bridgerton has finally taken a lesson from Downton Abbey and properly addressed the c-word: class. And it's not just because Benedict cannot marry someone from a lower social class; we've seen this love story before in Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice (though heroine Elizabeth Bennet hails from the country gentry, not the working class). In Season 4, we see Bridgerton staffers, including valet Hatch (Esh Alladi), covering for Benedict's rakish behaviour on more than one occasion. Make no mistake, Bridgerton Season 4 still holds the aristocracy as its core, covetable class, just as Downton did. Bridgerton Season 4, Part 1 is now streaming on Netflix.
