Sanditon (TV Series) Episode #2.6 (2022) User Reviews

Hands Up

[drnikic · 7/10 · 27 July 2023]

If you constantly want to slap Tom Parker upside the head for being a complete idiot. Through two seasons now he's lied to his wife, p--ed money up against the wall and generally mucked up everything he touches.

I also find it a little annoying that Charlotte is just good at everything - archery, horse-taming, cricket etc etc.

I'm very fond of Arthur, he's vastly improved over two seasons. He was somewhat of a caricature of an Austen hypochondriac, but has slowly become a more rounded character (sorry).

It's a very visually pleasing show, but it does rely heavily on the old romance tropes like enemies to friends to lovers. It's still a good way to relax and not have to think too hard.

Arrrgghh!

I really enjoyed the episode, giving it a 10 despite the WHAT?!! Cliffhanger ending. This is not how Jane Austen-ish seasons are supposed to end. But I get that they couldn't, with another season coming, end it the same as S1 ended. S3 best be hot on S2's tracks - I want to know!

Season 2

[jojo-15364 · 10/10 · 6 May 2022]

Season 2 of Sanditon has been better than I could have every imagined. The story is compelling the actors are amazing. If you have not yet seen it, I highly recommend viewing it. I can not wait for season 3... May we dream of a season 4 and 5.

Season 2 much enjoyed!

I have enjoyed both seasons 1&2, since season 2 has offered a continuity for season 3, I loved it more than the first one. I highly recommend both seasons, they are worth a result of both cast adaptation and storylines, and offer entertainment and positive reactions from the public! Season 3 will be by all means well received!

Disappointing

[Lucy1578 · 3/10 · 22 June 2022]

Season 2 looks very pretty but suffers from too many characters, too many plot lines (some of them ridiculous) and too-short scenes. The new characters were not well developed and all a bit underwhelming as a result.

It was fun to see some of the old characters, especially Tom, Arthur and Georgiana, but I'm afraid 'Charlotte's journey' fell flat with me. The actress did her best but the character was not at all in keeping with the character we saw in season 1 and the plot moves far away from Austen into the realms of Victorian melodrama. Some of it is really quite unpleasant and depressing to watch, as all the female characters are poorly treated by men, especially Charlotte and Esther. Captain Fraser is the only decent man of the lot, but we get to see very little of him.

A less sexy reboot of Season 1 that borrows from all over the place and comes across more like an early 2000s production than a modern, inventive take on Austen, which the first season was promising to be. Ends on yet another groan-inducing (but less moving) cliffhanger.
