It’s taken a little more than three years, but Shonda Rhimes’ first Netflix series since signing an exclusive, reportedly nine-figure deal with the streamer is here. The charming and addictive series, based on the romance novels of Julia Quinn, is set in the competitive marriage market of Regency London’s high society, a.k.a. The series naturally moves from stolen kisses in the garden one moment to torrid sex romps in the parlor the next. Voiced by Julie Andrews, she narrates the series, though her identity remains a mystery until the season’s closing moments. AdvertisementCentral to her game of human chess are the lovely Daphne Bridgerton (Phoebe Dynevor) and dashing Duke Simon Basset (Regé-Jean Page).
