The show runs on a specific engine: the love triangle. It’s always a triangle. Never a square. Triangles are messier.
There is always one couple who breaks up in the first episode. Then they “accidentally” meet at a polo match. Then they get back together. Every season. It’s a tradition.
You can predict the plot beats better than a soap opera. But the clothes are unpredictable. That’s the thrill.
The Quirky Rituals
They have a secret handshake? No. But they do have a code. If someone says “I’m just being honest,” they are about to ruin your life. It’s a red flag.
They also eat lunch for four hours. Who has that time? Nobody. Unless you are a professional drama-maker.
And the toast! They clink glasses and say “Cheers, darlings.” It never gets old. It’s like a sexy battle cry.
