Filmfare’s reviewer gave Bridgerton season four 2.5/5 stars. The reviewer commented, “Season 4 Part 1 works best as a table-setting exercise. It entertains and looks stunning while doing so. But it doesn’t quite sweep you off your feet. You enjoy the spectacle, smirk at the banter and admire the tailoring. And then you move on. You trust that the real drama is still waiting in the wings.”
