The Courtship Is Bridgerton Meets The Bachelorette, and It’s Exquisite
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?
