He drops Charlotte, whom he clearly loves as dearly as Willoughby loves Marianne, not to maintain an extravagant lifestyle for himself but to keep his family from bankruptcy (brought on by their reckless pursuit of great success). My head spins from the many scene changes and from my low blood sugar. Presuming says lambe if no legal heir it goes to Lockhart and he is gonna try and show that g is not legal heir hence the search for alive g mom who shows up with legal documents etc. Yes, it has that feel, doesnt it? Downton Abbey did such a great job of providing a completed story each season. Where is Susan, the worst hypochondriac among she, Diana, and Arthur? The viewers were cheated. The TV version passed what Austen wrote in the first half hour or so. Your comments and suggestions are most welcome. I got much too carried away and meant to but neglected to acknowledge Vic. I voted one more show to wrap it up, though it was easy enough on the eyes that Id dare to watch a second season. Click on image. There are so many other directions they couldve gone. I agree. Marriage and children was never a vision I had for myself. Just one more episode to wrap up some unsatisfying ends would be most welcome. I am trying to move forward but Im kind of stuck, I hope Mr. Davies does something to wrap things up cause its really bugging me and I dont feel like its my story to tell but I LOVE these characters and he better fix it. Good for you, Lizzie. An unhappy, often angry woman with no real storyline and then she is rendered absolutely useless in the last episodes. And as written it seems Charlotte may after all marry Mr Stringer as Esther has married Babington and maybe Sidney will marry Eliza all pragmatic. What can a second series do? You cant give yourself to someone you dont love just because were the most foolish family on earth. Are they all really so selfish, unfeeling, and stupid in the end? One thing I enjoyed very much indeed about the series was the development of Esther Denham from a straightforwardly unpleasant young woman to one who has been abused and misused into thinking herself worthless, and who is with great difficulty persuaded to accept love, and also the development of Babbington from a frippery young man determined to tame a recalcitrant filly into a tender, kind and sincere lover. I will leave it there its not about me but it had to do with the character transforming and understanding something about women that he had never known before. A week ago I didnt know it existed, I am thrilled youre doing it, cant wait to see your take on the new Emma. She was an immature, inexperienced child. Sanditon has been some kind of a revelation for me, I havent figured it all out yet. Read the review of the book at this link. You get what you pay for, or dont pay for. I didnt have the benefit of wine and cheese but my reaction to the final scene was identical to yours. This is not how Jane would have ended things. Shes so delighted with the newsso pleased for himso gushingthat he must be disappointed with that overenthusiastic reaction. And poor Charlotte. I hope I am not completely alone in championing Andrew Davies, he is a skilled and prolific writer and I quite like what he has done with expanding the brilliant first 11 chapters that Ms. Austen put to paper 203 years ago.

I feel weary even thinking about a second season because you know that Sydney and Charlotte wont be able to get together until the very end of the season. (sigh, hopeful,) I spend way too much time trying to figure things out, much of that having to do my own healing and restructuring my own understanding of events so that I can facilitate a new vision for myself to move forward. Hes presented to us as a sort of Darcy manqu, but the blessed Jane didnt re-tread her heroes any more than her heroines. If you thought that ending would make viewers happy, you deserve a smack in the head from Jane Austen. Informed minds want to know. Sidney and Charlotte should be together. ), Personally, I will stick to the Sanditon ending as written by Another Lady. Its not perfectly Austen either, but it is a good deal better than this! Following which, Sidney breaks upon Charlotte that he has plans to honour his word and has to get married to Eliza Campion. I give the third ball in this series a rating of 2. Regency manners require her to accept this invitation or bow out from dancing for the rest of the evening. Have Edward and Esther got it on any further? I have only just happened upon this excellent recap of the series I watched just a couple of weeks ago and found wanting in many respects. Or does she know something more sinister about him? However, in Sanditon they are both entertaining and hopeless to help, as Dr. Fuchs agrees. Shown from left to right: Charlotte Heywood (ROSE WILLIAMS) and Georgiana Lambe (CRYSTAL CLARKE) in SANDITON Season 2 On MASTERPIECE, Sundays, March 20 - April 24, 2022 on PBS. There were some happy endings but really they were not necessarily the norm. In some instances, links will be removed from comments as well. (Although that sounds awful when I reread it but I think you know what I mean.). According to the official website of the PBS, they will be airing the eight episodes again this month. But I WILL read the eleven chapters that Jane Austen wrote. This is not looking good. Now, those are plot lines worth taking in. Ive just finished reading Sanditon by Jane Austen and Another Lady, in which Miss Lambe is a nonentity (disappointing), but this story starts off by bringing Georgiana to the viewers notice and then then huh? there is a bts presumably late in season of beach w g and mom sitting . Preparing a series 1 with only the *hopes* of there being money available to pay for a season 2 is much like the Parkers building a seaside town without any insurance or visitors. Up until then, had we ever seen Arthur and Georgiana together? The only thing I regret is the sense Tom has hell be all right. 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). Ending the whole series with Charlotte crying by herself in a carriage was inconsistent with her general character and just depressing when she could have stood up for herself. I aspire to perfectioning my tongue in cheek reviews! When will we know if there will be a second season? Its dramaturgy reminded me of the new Poldark. Read the full article in The Sunday Times. Having been born on Janes birthday it could be understood that I have empathy for her fate since at 72 I find myself a spinster, in dependent (and loving it). I expect the second season (if there is one) will spotlight Young Springer as the worthy love she deserves, a man who seeks success through work, study, and architectural vision rather than financial flimflam like Sidney Parkers brother. That is not so. You might so I do so long for joy that meretricious versions depress me. There are so many tantalizing threads to pick up on here, so many forks in roads and paths. He's kind. Beyond their commonality with physical matters, they are a strange pair of individuals with no love interests. Several people have already made some plausible suggestions above. Ha! They really botched this one with no real ending. That is what I call a good mini series. And she enjoyed her independence. Arthur interrupts to ask Miss Lambe to dance. It was a nice change for the evil scheming woman to get a genuine redemption. I am sure something happens and Sidney becomes free to be with Charlotte. So the series is highly inconsistent and that goes with having different writers. The worst part was the rushed changes in the last two episodes. They finally meet and greet. Copyright Statement: Jane Austen's World blog, 2009-2022. Jane Austen smacking Davies about the headnow that would be worth watching! Love your analysis that wine must have been good. My favorite part of this is Dont send him at all!!!!!!!!!!! Okay, obviously there are things in Sanditon that are triggering me to figure something out so I can revisit events and then revision.my own life. How is this the same writer?? Thank you, Vic. Will Mrs. Campion conveniently kick the bucket or will Charlotte warm up to poor James Stringer? In this instance, the viewer is treated to the morning after the wedding night, when we see that Esther is not disappointed. Thanks for mentioning it. In that case, secondary characters Sidney and Charlotte similar to the S&S Willoughby/Marianne romance would have seemed to come to a fitting end. I agree that just 1 more episode not an entire second series would suffice to wrap up the loose ends. With Rose Williams, Crystal Clarke, Elizabeth Berrington, Jack Fox. I like the combination of Sydney and Charlotte and as an interesting and unexpected love growing for him and for her, it is rather a shock for him because I think its something he has never experienced before- lets face it Mrs. Eliza Campion is simply incapable of making him feel and think like this and drawing out his real self. mp_sf_list_2_description: What to Know: Bohemian artist Charles Lockhart made quite a splash in Season 2 and seemed the only man uninterested in Miss Lambe's fortune. Sidney visits Tom in the drawing room and catches Charlotte going out to adjust the final finishes to her ball gown. Either the writers were setting the whole thing up for a second season, or they have no idea how to write a satisfying romance. Im willing to swallow a lot of bitter stuff provided Im rewarded at the end. James Stringer is aghast at the loss of his father, and he recalls his angry last words with profound regret. Sanditon Season 2 hit the ground running quickly enough that fans might not really have the time to linger too much on Sidney's absence, and a lot of that has to do with the new characters. Sentimentality such as in the scene between Tom and his wife and then Sidney and Charlotte on the cliff grates on me by its untruthfulness. Or is it that none of our young men have taken your fancy? She turns to Sidney: What do you say, Mr. Parker?. Come on. Worth a shot, though. In series 2, he would most certainly have a comeuppance and be taken to task for his sheer stupidity and foolhardy regard to other peoples money. After Lord Babbs weddng to Esther, Lady D turns to Charlotte. But when. Barnum from the greatest showman, terrible). The music climaxes in volume. In another scene, Tom grovels in front of Mary and she, milquetoast, er, loving wife, that she is, forgives him. 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. BTW: I was always amazed that if the pond scene had been actualized how quickly could a gentleman have possibly changed from wet clothes to dry in a flash to reach the embarrassed heroine before she escaped with her aunt and uncle. ;-), Sorry for the duplicationmy computer is acting up. Miss Lambe gasped. So disappointingonly one minor storyline wrapped up (Esthers). 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 was kidnapped and was very nearly trafficked outside of the country's borders, so that her kidnapper could marry her and use her fortune for his own means. He is a Harlequin Romance hero a pulp fiction depiction, and a mere shadow, of Janes best male portrayals. Perhaps, it was a nod to Austens real life where her status and rank in society did not offer her a good marriage in the end. I was left speechless after the conclusion, with one question running through my head: What did I just watch? There is the suggestion that Sanditon will rise again, but will it be less posh than originally envisioned? Her 75-page unfinished manuscript described Charlotte as an observer. Wouldnt she at that point be as sharp-tongued as she was in her first balcony scene with him? I splutter. If there *is* a season 2, I will go into with lowered expectations for what this story should look/feel/sound/be like and Id try to actually enjoy it. Shes/were just lucky that Esther broke her silence at her bedside. In ancient Greek theatre, this DEM device came in the form of an angel or god of sorts lowered onto a stage who would save the protagonists. I am of the belief that tall, dark and dashing jolly well ought to come with good manners even when he hasnt fallen in love with the girl. The character Miss Lambe, a West Indian heiress, is "a real effort to represent someone in a very difficult situation at the time," said Crystal Clarke, right in "Sanditon." Credit . I cancelled the DVR and now I can look forward to a Monday night for the first time in 7 weeks. I gather Mr. Sidney Parker is engaged, he says. I find it odd that so much money was spent on costumes and a few lush sets and so little on the town of Sanditon.
