The successful power couple, Ingrid and Kristian, meet up with their suburban friends, Pernille and Thomas, for what appears to be an uneventful couples' dinner. But it turns out to be anything but uneventful when Pernille and Thomas ask Kristian if he would be the sperm donor for their child. However, money is tight, and their attempts within the public health care system have been exhausted, so the donation must happen the old-fashioned way. Not everyone is entirely on board with this method, and from there, the evening takes a wild detour into a swamp of chaos.
There’s no two ways about it — Bridgerton is horny. Shondaland’s newest venture- released on Netflix on Christmas- is certainly a spectacle to behold, just as the premise; essentially an Austenian, Regency-Era Gossip Girl, helmed by Shonda Rhimes, the reigning queen of steamy romance television. It would not be inaccurate to describe it as Jane Austen porn.

Despite its glaring flaws, First Girl I Loved is not entirely undeserving of a watch. For people who can handle the more difficult aspects of the story and graphic scenes, it is worth looking into. It’s not a film worthy of rewatch, but it may still resonate somewhat with those who need a story like this. It is a genuine, if flimsy attempt at a coming-of-age tale. Were the film to be directed by someone with experiences more similar to Anne, it would likely be more powerful--as it is, it feels like a man’s perspective of what it means to come to terms with your identity as a lesbian.
The major flaw of the series is that it’s hosted on Netflix and barely makes malicious comments about it despite being focused on the lives of people directly affected by the Capitalist mentality of the OTT corporation.
