After Colin finds his true match with Penelope, it is now Benedict’s turn in Bridgerton Season 4. The anticipation about Benedict finding his one true love has been keeping the viewers on their toes since the teaser for the new season arrived. Each season takes inspiration from Julia Quinn’s books. The series brings life to the love stories of the Bridgerton family members.

After His & Hers dropped on Netflix, it quickly gained immense recognition amongst the viewers, achieving the #1 spot on Netflix and maintaining it for quite a long time. However, Bridgerton Season 4 dethrones His & Hers right after its arrival on the global streaming platform.


Bridgerton Season 4 steals the #1 spot on Netflix, dethroning His & Hers

Replete with a thick layer of mystery along with thrill every step of the way, His & Hers quickly gained the top spot on Netflix after its arrival. The first week of the release was enough to gain 29.5 million views, which keeps on growing with each passing moment. The series also achieved the no. 1 spot in more than 50 countries, which is a direct indication of the intriguing content of the series.

However, with Bridgerton Season 4’s arrival, His & Hers loses its no. 1 spot. It must also be noted that His & Hers dropped on January 8; hence, maintaining the number one spot for such a long period of time is already a great achievement for the series.

Tessa Thompson, while discussing the immense success of His & Hers, for which she is also the executive producer, along with helming the lead role, indicates that the series’ “blend of serious themes and an unreliable narrator” was a significant factor driving it to such fame.

Bridgerton Season 4 not only achieved the top spot on Netflix but also received high ratings on IMDb. His & Hers wraps up the whole storyline within just six episodes. This is also a significant reason that added to the fame of the series, as it became a binge-worthy gem. In Bridgerton Season 4, the first four episodes were enough to create a huge impact. It raises the anticipation of the viewers with the cliffhanger at the end of the fourth episode.

In both series, the cast members do a commendable job in depicting their corresponding characters, enhancing the overall appeal of the two shows. In Bridgerton Season 4, Benedict and Sophie’s dynamic perfectly captures the slow growth of their feelings.

Besides the cast members of the Shonda Rhimes series, the breathtaking visuals of this Regency-era romance also become a striking attribute, drawing the viewers in. The aspect of each season taking on a different tone with its approach to romantic comedy also enhances the appeal of the series. In Bridgeton Season 4, Benedict and Sophie’s story brings life to a Cinderella story.

At the end of the fourth episode of the fourth season of Bridgerton, Sophie and Benedict’s dynamic takes a turn as Benedict approaches Sophie with the proposal to become his mistress.

This is something that Sophie did not expect. Though Sophie’s character is quite like Cinderella's, she is not just “a normal damsel in distress.” She understands the difficulties in her life. She knows how to handle herself. She also wants to embrace love. Hence, Sophie’s character is quite layered. This aspect of her character makes her quickly gain recognition amongst the viewers.
