The Courtship, NBC’s bonkers and highly enjoyable new dating show in which 16 men move into a castle, cosplay as characters, and try to date a software engineer?Was it when the heroine–Nicole Remy, 26, NFL-cheerleader turned programer–arrived at her castle in a horse-drawn carriage as a string quartet played “Don’t Stop Believin”?
Was it the moment when a suitor looked around —the same estate where filmed the home of Simon, Duke of Hastings (Regé-Jean Page)—and muttered, “Where can I get a corndog around here?” Was it when Remy, trying to describe a suitor with extravagantly styled eyebrows, used the one phrase that would have improved Jane Austen’s great prose? (“He’s kind of…a lot.”)This content can also be viewed on the site it from.Let me be clear: Nothing makes me feel more insane than when women are nostalgic for the courtship traditions of the past, particularly in the period when Bridgerton and Austen’s novels are set. “Modern dating is not working for me," Remy explains, articulating I have heard from thousands of women in person and online. "Courtship these days doesn’t happen.
It’s really like–they’re picking you up on a dating app, and there’s not the romance that you’re looking for.” A voiceover in the first episode describes 19th-century England as, “The most romantic period in history.”Sisters, friends, fellow soldiers in the “hey hows it going” trenches, I hear you, and I am with you.
But it is not “I would give up my civil rights to avoid this” bad. When we pine for Austen’s time, we pine for a time when women were legally subordinate, the slave trade raged, and child labor and colonial exploitation facilitated an economy that makes today's income inequality seem cute in comparison.
