rena-75219 Review of Belgravia: The Next Chapter

Belgravia: The Next Chapter (2024– )

The secondary characters were more likeable

[6/10 · 3 March 2024]

Bad points: Frederick is mostly the problem here. He is always upset, frustrated about his past and looks as if he is about to commit murder. Episode 1 ended with him breaking something. His wife fell down the stairs because of him, yet she keeps defending him in front of everyone despite people telling her she looks unhappy. Frederick managed to ruin every happy moment: the dinner at the restaurant after an artist drew his wife's portrait, yelling at his wife for thinking she talked behind his back, making her run outside and falling down the stairs and covering everything up, throwing his brother out who came to make peace with him, yelling at his wife again for calling his brother to make peace with him, abandoning his wife after their first night together out of frustration. Frederick has some serious problems which ruins everyone's enjoyment watching the show. I started skipping Frederick and Clara's scenes completely. Their acting is good but the characters are unlikeable.

Good points: 1. Doctor Ellerby, the reverend James Trenchard (Frederick's brother), Emily Dunn (Clara's sister), Mr Enright the butler are far more entertaining and interesting characters than Clara x Frederick. At least we have some characters we like in order to continue watching the show.

2. Love the outfits;

3. On point hairstyles;

4. Beautiful scenery;

5. Beautiful home decor;

6. Loved the opera music played in the restaurant from episode 1;

7. Clara signing in episode 1;

8. Emily having feelings for the reverend is far more interesting than Clara and Frederick's story.

9. Good acting.
