"Give Shonda an unlimited budget!"

Bridgerton's latest installment focuses on young Queen Charlotte's rise to power and is told through dual timelines. The first one is set in 1817 — following the death of Princess Charlotte, the Queen feels pressured to get her children to produce another royal heir.

And the second perspective is based in 1761 — young Charlotte meets and marries King George, and their marriage, as well as his mental health issues are explored.

The series stars India Amarteifio as young Queen Charlotte, while Golda Rosheuvel reprises her Bridgerton role of adult Queen Charlotte.

But these weren't the only new faces and storylines fans were loving. From Arsema Thomas playing a young Lady Agatha Danbury...

"From the moment I saw you trying to go over the wall...I have loved you desperately..."

"You did not go over the wall."
"No, George. I did not go over the wall."

Some wives are literally the backbones and strategists of their husbands. They do a lot of background unglamorous jobs via their shrewdness and negotiating skills which bring glamour to their men.

Lady Agatha Danbury in #QueenCharlotte embodied this.

No, because you don't understand. No one was supposed to top Anthony and Kate's chemistry in my head. "Just" George and "I'm gonna climb this wall" Charlotte are working overtime and I'm MELTING!!! It's literally episode 1. Let me BREATHE! #QueenCharlotte pic.twitter.com/OMHXW7Td4n

I want Netflix to give Shonda an unlimited budget where it concerns Bridgerton. Let her work her magic for this series because the way she BODIED Queen Charlotte is wild. Six episodes full of greatness with each passing minute. Give her the room please!
