Today we're diving into the question that was on everyone's mind after watching Bridgerton...What the heck is a Viscount?
The good news for us here at Counter Programming is that Bridgerton was recently back in the news. Unfortunately for everyone else, the news was that Regé-Jean Page will not be in the upcoming season (even though Shonda Rhimes said this was planned from the start).
In order to fully understand what a viscount is, we explore the British Peerage system which is pretty confusing.
