Netflix audiences have binged through the latest episodes of Regency period drama Bridgerton
Bridgerton season four, part two was finally released on Netflix and many fans have already raced through the episodes.
The new episodes arrived on Thursday, February 26, focusing on the aftermath of Benedict Bridgerton’s (played by Luke Thompson) well-intentioned but disappointing proposal to Sophie Baek (Yerin Ha) when he asked her to be his mistress.
Many may have already finished the episodes and are starting the show from the beginning as they now have an arduous wait for season five.
The next outing has already been greenlit and will focus on either Eloise Bridgerton’s (Claudia Jessie) love story or that of her sister Francesca (Hannah Dodd).
While viewers wait, here’s a look at Bridgerton’s best-ever rated episodes as per IMDb.
Bridgerton’s top 10 episodes from worst to best
10. An Unthinkable Fate – season 2, episode 5
Perhaps one of the most dramatic episodes of the Netflix period drama, An Unthinkable Fate holds an 8.1/10 rating on the site and sees Kate Sharma (Simone Ashley) left reeling after Anthony Bridgerton (Jonathan Bailey) proposes to her sister Edwina Sharma (Charithra Chandran) after confirming he didn’t want a love marriage.
9. After the Rain – season 1, episode 8
The season one finale After the Rain has an 8.1/10 rating and features a beautiful Bridgerton declaration of love from Daphne Bridgerton (Phoebe Dynevor) to her husband Simon Basset, the Duke of Hastings (Regé-Jean Page) after they finally reconcile and plan to have children. Daphne also reveals how she discovered the truth about Simon’s heartbreaking childhood and difficult relationship with his father, which prompted him to avoid having any offspring.
8. The Duke and I – season 1, episode 5
Another season one fan-favourite is The Duke and I with an 8.1/10 rating. The episode follows Simon and Daphne’s hasty marriage after persuading Queen Charlotte (Golda Rosheuvel) of their undying love.

7. Tick Tock – season 3, episode 5
Tick Tock holds an 8.2/10 rating and sees Colin Bridgerton (Luke Newton) announce his sudden engagement to Penelope Featherington (Nicola Coughlan) after their steamy carriage ride, where they confessed their love for one another. The other big element of drama is Penelope’s deadline to tell Colin and the Ton that she is Lady Whistledown, all of which is scuppered when Cressida Cowper (Jessica Madsen) falsely says she is the scandal sheet writer.
