With 193 million hours watched, the second season of The Bridgertons has broken a new record on Netflix as the most watched series in its premiere. Number one. Is anyone surprised? Whether you admit it or not you saw the first, you enjoyed it and you have thrown yourself into the second with devotion, waiting for that same satisfaction not guilty but a little concealable.
We increasingly reject this concept of guilty pleasure, literally translated from guilty pleasure anglo saxon Let's get rid of guilt. If we like The Bridgertons in a way we can't reason with, then so be it. Also, it helps that our unwarranted taste is backed by a global mass of people. So we confess more.
And, in our particular case, if the series also makes us dream of destinations and places that make us want to travel, There is nothing guilty in that pleasure of devouring chapters one after another.
Coffee love.
'WOMAN-FRAGRANCED COFFEE'
Thirteen weeks after its premiere, the Colombian series continues among the five most watched non-English speaking titles. Quite a triumph. Guilty pleasure or not. Impossible loves attract us. And the Colombian coffee region, perhaps even more so. The Hacienda Casablanca is actually the Hacienda Venice, today a hotel located in a hundred-year-old house, in Manizales, western Colombia.
Virgin River is a bit envious.
'A PLACE TO DREAM'
The premise is a bit like Doctor in Alaska: a woman answers a job ad as a nurse in a small town in California. A village called Virgin River (original title of the series). But everything that happens after… she will hook them. They are already going for the fourth and fifth season for a reason. Without seeing the end. Of course, its landscapes inspire us to travel. But it is not shot in California, but in Vancouver and British Columbia. Specific, at Snug Cove (Bowen Island), Burnaby and Port Coquitlam.

‘THE BRIDGERTONS’
In its second season, and although the focus changes to another protagonist, it is still a Bridgerton, and some locations will remain: What Ranger's House , the palace used as the residence of the main family. EITHER Wilton House, RAF Halton House… But there are new palaces and stately homes of the most elegant England, such as Hampton Court Palace, Syon House… and very romantic places like the Windsor Great Park.
Welcome to Riverdale.
Riverdale
With shows a recently announced seventh season, Riverdale It is still a successful series. The dark face of charming towns is an irresistible hook. The objective is that the imaginary town of Riverdale could be anywhere in America and, therefore, it will remind us of many places that you have been able to see before in other series or on some roadtrip. However, and as happens on many occasions, it is not even shot in the US, but rather in studios and around Vancouver.
Valhalla is very beautiful.
‘VIKINGS: VALHALLA’
We were hooked on the original series without shame (although it made us heavy for more than a moment), but with this sequel we still don't know very well what to expect. As we decide, we let ourselves be impressed by the Irish landscapes that have been used as a stage. county wicklow has been chosen this time, far from the Canadian or Nordic landscapes that were used in the first.
New York, New York.
TO NEW YORK WITH…
There are so many series about New York and set in New York that not all of them can be objectively good. Some, in fact, hook us just because we want to see that New York, a little more closely. It was always the case sex in new york that now, recently, we have revived it with And Just Like That, that series you didn't want to watch, but kept watching. And the reason, probably, why you come back when you have a silly time to watch some Gossip Girl. We are not always for Girls, Broad City either High Maintenance. Or if.
Valeria is castiza.
TO MADRID WITH…
The same thing has happened to us lately with Madrid as with New York, because more and more productions are shot in the city and they don't just use it as a background, they give it an important role and they want to show us different layers of it. Series to which we have accidentally become hooked and that Madrid has been a reason: Valeria. Definitely up there. Y Elite, Sure. That rich and glamorous Madrid.
The elite of Madrid.
