The “secret sauce” of innovation is finding your content tilt
When I first watched Season One of Bridgerton, I was amused and perplexed. Amused because of the witty banter and the enchanting Pride and Prejudice vibes the series gave off.
Mildly perplexed because I didn’t understand what the heck was going on.
After watching Season Two, which was sensational, I realized that there are lessons here that every creator needs to remember today.

It’s all about this British high society with lavish balls, glittering outfits, royal mansions, and the finest of things. And in this posh social circle from the early 1800s(I stress this again because the time period matters for context), we have a mixed-race Queen and plenty of people of color.
As a fantasy, I love it. But in reality, we all know how this was highly unlikely.
