Nearly 25 years after the release of the original Bridget Jones’s Diary the venerable romantic comedy franchise has yielded an impressive three sequels. Bridget has had her ups and downs over the years, having had Colin Firth and Hugh Grant fight over her (twice!), and been the center of a paternity mystery between Firth and Patrick Dempsey. Yet none of her indignities have been quite so egregious as seeing the latest entry in her franchise skip theaters to get unceremoniously dumped on the Peacock app for its American debut over Valentine's Day weekend.
