Prime Video’s My Lady Jane has earned more critical acclaim than any Bridgerton season. A British show based on both Lady Jane Grey’s life and Cynthia Hand’s novel, the show features a fantastical exploration of romance, monsters, and life as a British lady. Though it does tell the true story of Jane Grey’s adventures, it takes opportunities to introduce unrealistic elements as well, including humans who can become monsters. Every episode was released on Prime Video on June 27, and they have earned critical acclaim.

On Rotten TomatoesMy Lady Jane currently sits at an impressive 91% Tomatometer score. That total is higher than any Bridgerton season, as that historical romance sits at just 87% at its highest mark for season 1. While My Lady Jane does not have a higher audience score when compared to the more popular franchise, that level of critical acclaim is a sign that Bridgerton may lose its place at the top of the genre.

It is important to note that My Lady Jane ‘s score came from 22 total reviews, while Bridgerton ‘s various seasons have much more, such as 69 for season 3.

With a 91%, My Lady Jane has a higher score than Bridgerton‘s respective season scores of 87%, 77%, and 87%. Bridgerton‘s overall score is just 83%, which hardly compares to My Lady Jane‘s exceptional 91% score. The audience score is not quite as positive, as it sits at just 74% at the time of writing. That is only good enough to beat Bridgerton season 1, as season 3 outscores My Lady Jane with a 76% total. Check out the table below, which puts that information in a more accessible format:

Title
Tomatometer Score

My Lady Jane season 1

Bridgerton season 1
87%
70%

Bridgerton season 2
77%
74%

Bridgerton season 3
87%
76%

There is some room for question, however, as the average scores do not have quite the same conclusions. Overall, My Lady Jane has an average score of 6.4 out of 10 among critics, while its rival has an impressive 7.0 out of 10. Among audiences, the former sits at 3.9 out of 5, compared to Bridgerton‘s respective 3.7 out of 5, 3.8 out of 5, and 4 out of 5. On average, this reveals that audiences are more evenly split between the two, while critics lean towards My Lady Jane. Still, the two are surprisingly closely rated.

As the wait for My Lady Jane season 2 confirmation officially begins, these positive reviews are an excellent sign for its future. With Prime Video having the chance to look at its acclaim, it may choose to renew the show to have a product that can rival Netflix’s popular romance. Still, Bridgerton‘s scores declined overall when season 2 began, so comparing the two will only truly be possible when My Lady Jane‘s sophomore season is released. The show leaves several threads open for future exploration, so there is certainly room for a renewal.
