"You have my permission."

All the ways Colin Bridgerton pissed me off in Part 1

Offering to help her find a husband. I hate this plot! It's stupid and is not Colin. Reiterating just how unromantically he sees her! Just. Friends. Just. Friends. WE GET IT!

Asking Penelope to flirt with other men in front of him. Ugh. Ew. What's the opposite of jealous? How is this man the opposite of jealous? Colin..Bridgerton...the opposite of jealous?? Let me remind you book Colin got jealous at an imaginary man he concocted in his own head unprovoked.

The market lesson & the drawing room lesson, because, again, it's just reiterating how not jealous he is and how okay he is with Penelope being with other men! just NO.

The way he pulled away from Pen when she was wrapping his hand. NO NO NO NO. In the book, Penelope is the one that is so preoccupied wrapping his hand and caring for him she doesn't even notice the man is drooling over her and wants to extend his time with her. The show, by having Colin pull away & cutting their time short, puts the ball back in Pen's court which is dumb, narratively.

The way he so dismissively says "no!" when Eloise asks if Penelope seeks a husband in him. Like he didn't have to be so flippant about it! I wish he was more shy & embarrassed with the question than so dismissive! It was lowkey rude.

The entire Constellation Ball - offering her up to Lord Basilion, then trying to find another man when that didn't work out. Then saying "excellent!" when Penelope told him Lord Remington was going to call on her. Excellent, Colin? Really?

The jealousy scenes didn't have enough oomf & not nearly enough anger and agitation - he wasn't following it up with any action. It would have been nice to see him interfere more. Especially the confectionary scene.

Things i liked:

I liked how he was following Penelope around the market like a puppy. That was very cute! Very Colin!

2. I love how he makes this expression when he kisses her in the garden, like he's shocked by how much he's enjoying it and he's relishing her taste. That was good!

3. I liked how he enjoyed watching Pen get off on his fingers. That's a good lover right there and very Colin!

4. Colin's arc being that he doesn't have to pretend to be a debonair cavalier playboy to try and fit anymore! I LOVED that! See, that's bringing new fresh ideas to the table that are relevant and awesome, and captures the spirit of the character for SHOW Colin! bravo to whoever thought of that! Bring back olive pun Colin!!

show!Colin leaves Pen all alone in the middle of the street at night.

Twice.

The second time, Pen has to call out to Colin to get him to stop and talk to her. forcing her to initiate everything in this relationship because he's a spineless limp dick that keeps running away from her like a coward.

book!Colin would challenge show!Colin to a duel at dawn and kill him on the spot for this.

Monica ❤️‍🔥
