I’ve never watched it but sadly not on Netflix.

Ooooh deffo have to watch north and south thank you xx
If you find it free online please let me know. Thank you.
I watched it years ago, enjoyed it. Have just being watching some YouTube clips to remind me.
Loved Richard Armitage but hated him in that recent remake of Damage that was on Netflix (Obsession).

WHAT!! I had presumed it was on Netflix
I was so looking forward to
ps: I did not google any of this. I am just very cultured. I was definitely not only watching it for Richard Armitage. That would be tragic.
got it on my firestick I use Bee TV for streaming if that’s any help xx
North and South is on Dailymotion 
In hindsight I don't actually care if its Michael or Michaela. I just think that this will take away from the point that not every love has to be a thunderbolt from the sky. That somehow, what Francesca has with John is somehow less or not real because it wasn’t sudden and explosive.
Yes I agree with this! I would have preferred it if when Michaela was introduced Francesca had just given a polite/non-plussed reaction with no hint of what was to come. In the books Fran and John are very happy together and it’s only certain circumstances that throw Michael into the mix at all.
yes, shame it’s no longer on. I defo saw it on Netflix at some point.
I totally agree with this being the main point of contention, it cheapens the quieter, steadier sort of love story she has with John and the validity of loves like that.
But I also do care that they made Michael a Michaela. Intersectionality is important and goodz but infertility is just not the same issue when it's in a straight couple than when it's in a queer one. They're both heart breaking of course but it's just sad how many women won't get to see the story they read and connected with. Representation should never take away from other, already existing, representation.
Anyway, I don't know if it's because I'm noticing it more because it's my own opinion so confirmation bias, but most people seem to not have loved this season or the hints for the ones to come and want the old showrunner back
Am I right in thinking Francesca’s husband dies in the books
Yes, you're correct
Interesting to see if they stick to that
Oh wow. They really are worried about the backlash if they're trotting out Julia Quinn to say a bunch of nonsense like this.
I just think it's a bit of a slap in the face to avid readers of the book because they'll be changing Francesca's journey that apparently a lot of people resonated with.
If fans also have to wait 2 years for the next series, I think interest will wane which is why we ended up with overkill on the promo for S3 to get people hyped up again after a 2 year wait since S2.
If they wanted to do a diverse story then maybe Shonda should have written her own story. I wonder if Julia Quinn felt strongarmed into this character change.

She’s getting a lot of negativity in the comments. I agree with them.
I haven’t read the books, but I thought Francesca and John were sweet. It showed live doesn’t have to be drama and fireworks all the time, which Bridgerton seems to turn every other relationship into with their lack of communication. It is a shame if they lose that message. It’s not like there isn’t inclusive representation already.
Exactly if I like a book then that's what I want to see adapted.
It doesn't mean that I am some horrible bigot merely that a book adaption should adapt the book, rather than some producer alternate fanfic version using the name and the fans of an established series to bump up views.
