With that said, something I would've liked to see more of in the first episodes is Conchita's journey as a mother. The show doesn't shy away from more serious topics too, and as well as flirting their way around the aristocrats and bounding about the English countryside, the girls tackle sexual assault, question their sexuality, deal with family shame and secrets, and embark on a journey to discover where they want their place in the world to be. Overshadowing the girls' various romances is their unapologetic love for each other - so if you're watching because you're hoping for some of those steamy scenes that Bridgertonis so famed for, you'll find that they are few and far between. While on the surface it's a clichéd romantic storyline, there are hints that everything is not as it seems by the end of the third episode (as those who've read the novel will know) and I detect a love triangle on the horizon.īut while The Buccaneers follows Nan and her fellow American heroines as they navigate the conventions of marriage and courting in England, the show is so much more than a love story. It's Nan's disinterest in conforming to high-society England's conventions that attracts the duke, and she is drawn to him not because of his title, but in spite of it. The difference in The Buccaneers, however, is that unlike Jo March, who rejects Laurie's proposal, Nan eventually does decide to marry Theo. Raised as a gentleman, he prefers to spend his days painting and swimming in the sea than searching for a wife - until he meets Nan, of course. Meanwhile, Theo, aka the Duke of Tintagel (played by Guy Remmers), is not unlike Little Women's Laurie. Our protagonist, Nan, shares her recklessness and independence with the character of Jo March, and both are similarly disinterested in getting married. The Buccaneers has been compared by many to Netflix smash-hit Bridgerton, and while the fusion of contemporary music, period costumes and titillating balls is present, I found it to be much more reminiscent of Little Women.
