Loved the mini series but so disappointed work how it ended! In some instances, links will be removed from comments as well. I never was on Team Sidney, who displayed his jerk side way too often. Why was Sanditon Cancelled? The wedding is celebrated by the wrong couple, or the right couple, or half the couples who are eligible to marry. I watched 8 hours for this ending? None of the other characters grew in any noticeable way. Just one more episode to wrap up some unsatisfying ends would be most welcome. My favorite part of this is Dont send him at all!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you for that reminder Kevin. Once I let myself go in terms of recapping the Sanditon episodes, I had fun making sport with the more improbable situations. The viewers instantly know why Sidney needs to see her when he says, Tell me you dont think badly of me. It wasnt his fault that the plot went nowhere and the characters were untrue to Austen. Exactly. Lady D swoops down upon the hapless brothers and sister, saying she wants her investment back or else theyll all be put in the poor house. It turns out, he has saved them allexcept for he, himself and Charlotte. However, Vic made me laugh so much I forgot how incensed and disappointed I was with that pathetic attempt at a season (series?) Shame on Davies and to heck with the disappointing ending. There is no urgency to her dressmaking, she says. Arthur would have been kind and he has money. I dont think Davies can get Sidney out of this hole he created. Either follow the established format (paying tribute to Austens world) or go bonkers and add some zombies at the beginning of the series so we understand were in an altered dimension. For what its worth, I was totally #TeamStringer. This! Sanditon might have been tolerable enough if they had left any expectation of Janes wit out of it. It doesnt mean that Jane, ergo Charlotte, did not love or wasnt loved by men, but as in the movie Becoming Jane or Miss Austen Regrets, for one reason or another, none of her relationships with men led to marriage. However, in Sanditon they are both entertaining and hopeless to help, as Dr. Fuchs agrees. I dint like the poorly designed set for the town of Sanditon. Is there a next part, my addled brain asked? However, she's not alone. Sanditon will come to an end with its third and final season next month as the PBS fan-favorite series eyes its return date. Miss Lambe will be the guest of honour wherever she goes. Ha! The show kept trying to depict Tom learning from his mistakes and starting over better, but ultimately I dont think he changed at all! My favorite part in the whole series: 1) when the workers stormed in to the cricket match, and some idiot gentleman said they look good. Yes, they did! Gosh, gee, golly, Polly, thank you for the compliment. Lady Susan is the gluewhy was she even in the story if not to come to Charlottes rescue??? I believe we all saw what Sydney was forced to rescue her from. I did warn you a few weeks ago that the last episode had a Big Surprise. (?). i find the end of episode 8 to be unfulfilling, to say the least, maddening and a tease, at best. Perhaps another visit to Sanditon would awaken tender feelings for Mr. Stringer? This is not an ending, this is not Jane, this is STUPID! Really!!?? We had no idea that they were friends, then he appears in her bedroom while she is in her nightgown??? My little Applause comment above was meant to go with Pollys comment, but no matter. I plan to follow up this mini-series with this book. For me, the perfect ending for her would have been to remain single and independent by choice. And making her nice! Tom Parker is happy. (Yes, we are fallible. We agree on so many points. It will have to go some to beat the BBCs version with Romola Garai. Love your analysis that wine must have been good. Then Sidney is way laid by Tom. Will Tom Parker ever stop being a fool? I guess were lucky S&C didnt run away like Lydia and Wickham to ruin the family even more. Sidney didnt change at all except for becoming attracted to Charlotte and therefore being nicer to her. And I dont think Stringer would have been a good match for Charlotte because they only started to develop his personality and character in the last two episodes. Perhaps Charlotte, having gone home is being invited by her new friend, Susan, and taken in as her ward, or Susan hears of the Parkers demise and helps them, rendering Sidneys impending marriage gone. And Sidney ( after being rude and aggressive) all of a sudden is overly polite when he tells Charlotte that he is best when he is around her. But I WILL read the eleven chapters that Jane Austen wrote. Episode 6. Have Edward and Esther got it on any further? The two are forming a friendship based on mutual respect and Sidney goes so far as to ask Charlotte to look after his ward and her friend, Miss Lambe (Crystal Clarke) while he is away. We learn his name was Isaac. Good news, bad news: the hero returns to save the day but sacrifices his lovely damsel and his own happiness. Lady Denham, the very rich, very acid-tongued dowager of Sanditon House, obtains it from a hothouse to serve as a centerpiece of a luncheon she is throwing in honor of Georgiana Lambe, an even . As it turns out, Sidney Miss Lambes guardian is the lamb put to slaughter for his family. Ralph is a farmer in Willingdon that Charlotte's father insisted she marry. Part of their misunderstandings revolve around Miss Georgiana Lambe (Crystal Clarke), the 17-year-old mixed-race heiress from the West Indies who just happens to also be Sidney's ward. She does have it on in a few scenes, but not the all-important cliff walk with Sidney; I figured the show runners didnt want anything in the way of an amazing kiss. Thank you so much for your sterling Sanditon reviews And especially for this final one! After a tearful cliffside goodbye, they both left town for good? Im dissatisfied As you said this is what I invested my time in? Still quite a good series but not within Janes vision. The opportunity is there for a real love story, but not until she grows up a little and he commits to being honorable and seriously understanding his responsibility to protecting her and her money. Where could it go from where we left off? Her complexion glows. Recall that he trotted out Otis to say goodbye to you. Who could ever be so handsome and sexy! Are you kidding me! We may receive books (physical or digitized) and DVDs for review purposes. Miss Lambe, for example. Wouldnt it be splendid if, through her efforts with Tom Parker, Sanditon became a successful seaside resort? they will sometimesspend (really) 10 minutes on a interlude; they give time to dialogues to develop and we get real thought from the characters. So there you are,Vic.It appeals to my subversive nature. I agree. And then it changed me. All that passion released in response would only be quieted. I dont think there should be another season.Just leave it ,ragged, and unfinished. And personally, I was rooting for Charlotte to chose James Stringer, and thought after Sulky Sid threw her over that she would. Hes handsome enough, and goodness knows Theo James, the actor, tried his best, but hes no Mr. Darcy. Andrew Davies was bragging on the PBS show about his reading so much Austen that it is with ease that he writes Austen (my paraphrase). My first thought was that they definitely set up episode 8 for a second season. Men's hair styles at the turn of the 19th century, Regency Fashion: Men's Breeches, Pantaloons, and Trousers, Lady Hester Stanhope: Traveler and Trailblazer, Highclere Castle Floor Plan: The Real Downton Abbey, The Servant's Quarters in 19th Century Country Houses Like Downton Abbey, Pride and Prejudice Economics: Or Why a Single Man with a Fortune of 4,000 Per Year is a Desirable Husband, The Green Baize Door: Dividing Line Between Servant and Master, Dancing at the Netherfield Ball: Pride and Prejudice, Lady Hester Stanhope: Traveler andTrailblazer, Book Review: Ayesha at Last by UzmaJalaluddin, Tracing Jane Austens Royal Ancestors Via Her Parents, by RonaldDunning. In. You get what you pay for, or dont pay for. The camera pans to Sanditon House. I didnt have the benefit of wine and cheese but my reaction to the final scene was identical to yours. Sadly, there will be no second season. As I feel that at no point did the writers make me truly believe in Georgiana or Otis, I dont know what I want for her. James Stringer is aghast at the loss of his father, and he recalls his angry last words with profound regret. Miss Lambe is a young lady-probably a niece-under Mrs. Griffiths' care, richer than all the rest, and very delicate health. I think they could have been very good friends. Lets hope we can watch a fine episode ending. I love rich, huggy-bear types who adore their headstrong women. I didnt like the trajectory of her story line and expected her part in the drama to be more complex and for her to be given a strong story arc that demonstrated growth and stamina. Play me something jolly.. A fine kettle of fish! We could emotionally chalk it up as a summer romance. Read the review of the book at this link. Ultimately, on the other hand, the decision to . Really to leave a Jane Austen story in such a shambles is a travesty. I go over it again and again and again and have awakened many times with new scenarios for the second season. Ive never waited to put myself in someone elses power before.. "Yay! Even Willoughby, selfish rake that he is, gives us charm and wit before his fall from the proverbial pedestal. (Charlotte is a better character in the book.). I had taped the series and I think I must have watched the damn show about 200 times because I couldnt actually believe what was happening to me. Georgiana Lambe's (Crystal Clarke) sugar boycott in Sanditon season 2 is based on a real event that happened in the 19th century. So glad to read this this morning! Do you think they wanted the ending to be like the movie about Jane Austen where she ran away with the man she loved, only to find out he had to marry for money because of taking care of his family? I had to suffer through six episodes before I wanted to know how it ended. Sir, I shout at the screen, You are no gentleman!, Charlotte meekly steps inside the carriage and Sidney watches until it disappears over the horizon. Reaching episode 8 I was in shock that Davies switched the DNA of what we know to be a Jane Austen novel with traditional endings based on the character development presented. There, she hobnobs with her hosts, the. I was as heartbroken as anyone and frankly am still grieving (I had PBS Passport and watched it all a few weeks ago) but I really enjoyed it. Please find Mr Stringer someone nice he is quite unsuitable for Charlotte so I imagine Sidneys wife will die a gruesome death leaving him all her vast wealth, and then we can be left in limbo again, wondering whether he and Charlotte will marry in Series 3, which I will definitely not buy.
