A Spanish-language period romantic comedy, The Lady’s Companion is a quirky telenovela with a Bridgerton-esque twist. Elena Bianda (Nadia de Santiago) is a professional chaperone who helps young women in 1880s Madrid find suitable marriages. She’s obsessed with propriety and a consummate professional. But when she begins working for a new household, a problem quickly arises — she’s falling for one of her charges’ suitors.
The Lady’s Companion feels a bit like Ferris Bueller’s Day Off meets Bridgerton with the lead character’s direct addresses to the camera. It works well and provides a fun, personable touch to this international show.
