Bridgerton Spoiler Episode 4

Luke Newton has so many great moments but the scene where he wags his finger and calls out his friends for not being gentleman will probably be an underrated moment from him. But it’s so perfectly done. He doesn’t play it as angry, he makes Colin just resigned and disgusted and so over it all. The disappointment when he realizes he’s alone in his dissatisfaction is palpable, and Luke kind of holds onto that beat until Colin is ready to make his move. I think that moment is my favorite non-Polin scene out of Luke in S3.

More Luke Newton acting praise:

The contrast between how sincere he makes Colin come across when he declares his feelings to Penelope, even in the super dramatic dream sequence and the absolute bullshit insincere fakeness when he’s flirting with ladies of the ton he cares nothing for is SO good.

He makes Colin look smarmy and cheesy and fake, when it would’ve been so tempting for an actor to try to just play it straight so they still come off as suave and cool to the audience. But it’s Colin at his least cool, because he’s just bowing to peer pressure. It just feels like the braver choice to make it seem just as false as it should, and hope the audience is following along. It’s Luke playing Colin playing a role that doesn’t quite fit him.

It creates a level of separation for the moments when he’s with Penelope and he’s not trying so hard to impress her. His performance of Colin is so much more grounded. And then when he’s trying to get across all of his feelings to her and the facade comes off and all of his stress and anxiety and hope comes out because she just has to know how he really feels???! When he lets himself be vulnerable and at Penelope’s mercy, the sincerity soars off the screen. You get the feeling like if Penelope turned him down in that moment there’s no telling what he would do.

You know… you have always been one of my most sensitive children. Always aware of what others need. Always trying to be helpful or offering a joke to lighten the mood. You so rarely put yourself first. I am proud of your sensitivity. But living to please others? I imagine it can be wearying at times. Painful, perhaps. So, I do not blame you for putting on armor lately.
