So Sidney will continue as the cynical man thwarted in love. The night is dark and only candles light up the space when Old Stringer touches his chest, then his left arm. She is taken to Sanditon by Mrs Griffiths, along with the two Beaufort sisters. Really to leave a Jane Austen story in such a shambles is a travesty. THATS IT?! Go over and play the piano. Im assuming you are rooting for a season 2? Yes, Greg Wise as Willoughby in 1995s Sense and Sensibility I understand. 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. While the actors did an amazing job in their roles, I admit to being disappointed by the ending. It is so rich in possibilities. But I WILL read the eleven chapters that Jane Austen wrote. The first in a painting class to demonstrate her rebelliousness, and the other in a scene with Sidney to show her contrition for bad behavior. You can see below from Jane's text the mentions of Miss Lambe: Charlotte and Sidney clash again, only for Charlotte to be left confused by a chance encounter. I agree that there are too many loose ends in the final episode. Good work! Wouldnt she at that point be as sharp-tongued as she was in her first balcony scene with him? Who could ever be so handsome and sexy! The TV series Sanditon has a total of eight episodes. How is young speaks-as-she-finds Charlotte getting on in her new job doing the filing for Mr Tom Parker, entrepreneur of Sanditon? Surely you jest..that is not a ending.Jane would be horrified. and coming out of it on the other side, the way Esther did (dark to light), I think it would improve his character and my opinion of him. No problem, Lynne. Which is the best version of P&P? There are so many tantalizing threads to pick up on here, so many forks in roads and paths. However,. Very disappointing. The worst part was the rushed changes in the last two episodes. 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. What are you up to with Charlotte? Meanwhile thanks for the summaries and time to dissect this series. Anyway, thank you for the reviews!! There is no urgency to her dressmaking, she says. They were the best characters because their story involved actually learning about themselves and each other and experiencing personal growth. Shes so delighted with the newsso pleased for himso gushingthat he must be disappointed with that overenthusiastic reaction. Or does she know something more sinister about him? Tensions surrounding Miss Lambe's arrival in Sanditon erupt at Lady Denham's grand pineapple luncheon. Informed minds want to know. She's come with her farmer. Sidney and Charlotte should be together. He leaves his friend as soon as he sees Lady D and Esther enter the ball room, fashionably late as great ladies were wont to do. Sidney didnt change at all except for becoming attracted to Charlotte and therefore being nicer to her. I kept waiting for Charlotte and Diana to walk to the circulating library, an important component of fashionable resorts, and a hub of social activities. In this instance, the viewer is treated to the morning after the wedding night, when we see that Esther is not disappointed. The TV version passed what Austen wrote in the first half hour or so. It was obvious well before the first episode finished that this series had nothing to do with Jane Austen. I mean, he tells Charlotte to keep an eye on Georgiana and doesnt take the trouble to tell her what exactly she needs to be guarding againstand then blames her for not knowing it! I plan to follow up this mini-series with this book. I totally agree with the hysterically funny description of Sanditon town in the finale recap above! This isnt Jane Austen, although some of the characters were likeable. (Which, I must confess, I thoroughly enjoyedwhile I think the writers did VERY wrong in their resolution, Theo James & Rose Williams have very good chemistry.). This whole series was a waste of time, all due to the terrible ending. She basically calls him a wuss and says: You are the worlds worst carriage driver., Why not? As she drives the horses even faster we gain insight into their future relationship. So now Charlotte has lost both Sidney and James. James Stringer is aghast at the loss of his father, and he recalls his angry last words with profound regret. If the marriage did go forward I can see Mrs. Campion dying in childbirth, opening the way for Charlotte and Sidney, but who would want him after their heart being destroyed. Vic, a few descriptive words and statements and phrases such as: brash, exuberant, rough round the edges, a good laugh, I fell about in stitches at some of the dialogue, I enjoyed it. For me , it started with episode 7, when everything began to feel contrived. Miss Lambe is a seventeen-year-old girl brought to Sanditon by Mrs. Griffiths, along with two Miss Beauforts. James is beside himself with grief and regret. ), 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! Sanditon is MASTERPIECE's bold and lavish adaptation of Jane Austen 's final work. Davies went overboard in modernizing and sexing up Janes wonderful characters. Sanditon is back for season 2! In both I find excellent casting/acting, authentic to the period, and a true Austen interpretation. Their meeting stinks, in my humble opinion. Fans of the show on PBS won't want to miss Sanditon by Kate Riordan. Frightfully decent of them. Thank you, Mr. Stringer. Charlotte obviously has no desire to flirt with James or embark on a relationship with him. Enter your email address to subscribe to this blog and receive notifications of new posts by email. I hated the ending! 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. Absolutely agree, particularly about the ridiculousness of the Parkers not objecting to Sidney sacrificing himself. Isnt the first rule of Austen that after all the suffering comes a happy ending? Eight episodes of a mini-series deserve a thorough discussion of the finale. A little choppy for me. She says, coyly, Sure why not? And off they goin the exact opposite direction of her destination. Is there no hope? We viewers KNOW this maiden has won the final rose from her very eligible bachelor and that all is right in Austenland. This is not how Jane would have ended things. Unfortunately, a dance in formation can take up a considerable amount of time and Sidney will have to bide his time before he can talk to his sweet Charlotte. Hah! James Stringer takes this moment to ask Charlotte for a dance. I watched Sanditon some time ago and did not think at the time that I would want to see a second season, but now I do, just to give Vic a fresh whetstone for her wit. Across the ball room, Charlotte and Sidney exchange glances of frustration, but she cant refuse Stringer, for she was not engaged to dance with another gentleman. Ruins. The wedding is celebrated by the wrong couple, or the right couple, or half the couples who are eligible to marry. Charlotte was destined for Sidney Parker, so I reconciled myself to the pairing as an inevitabilityor so I thought. The fragment that exists introduces us to Charlotte Heywood, a young woman who is whisked away from her family's farm to the seaside resort of Sanditon. The characters were spot on, however, I am left wanting for a true Jane Austen ending. Thats it? My favorite part of this is Dont send him at all!!!!!!!!!!! I forgot about deux ex machina, a literary device used to derail the reader or viewer, and that is discouraged by professors who teach Writing Romance Novels 101. Click here to enter the page. This leaves Charlotte heartbroken and she decides to leave the town of Sanditon and Sidney behind. She also was, at 22, facing spinsterhood. I mean, this is way better than most of the heaping garbage people put money into so why not make it happen? :-) I just dont like having to guess thats where this was leading. The only thing I regret is the sense Tom has hell be all right. One thing we do all have in common, though is our love for Jane Austens writing. When the arrival of two eligible bachelors signals a potential change in status for the Bennet sisters, their marriage-minded mother is sent into a frenzy, and the lively, witty Elizabeth Bennet goes head-to-head with smoldering, haughty Mr. Darcy.

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. You get what you pay for, or dont pay for. And then it changed me. The ball as far as I recall, it really was a ball and not one of the monthly Assembly Hall things that were common in many towns, and so I was very taken aback when Stringer appeared. The next thing we know, someone yells, Fire! Poor Mr. Stringer is toast. We just dont want to let go of the delightful, charming and exciting characters we have grown to love. Hes a talented, hard-working earnest character, but I understand how these novels work. I dont want more I want a redo. Definitely need a season 2I love this series even though it does feel a bit rushed.Im already hooked on this show..please, please give us a season 2 with a better outcome ( for Charlotte & Sidney), No one can write like Jane.

As the town's cast of characters congregate in church the morning after the ball, the priest preaches about the "blooming" young women of Sanditon and how they will eventually be plucked. Premieres Sundays . And what of Sir Edward Denham and Lady D's fortune?" There's also a strong sense that ITV is trying to set us up for more. I give the third ball in this series a rating of 2. The series was called Sanditon, not Sydney and Charlotte, so if he wanted to develop a series that has several seasons he should have made it focused on the stories of the inhabitants of the town. I am a proud lifetime member of the Jane Austen Society of North America. The unfinished novel continues to provoke speculation about the writer's intentions, particularly regarding Miss Lambe's importance in our ongoing consideration of racial and colonial themes in . 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. * (What the Dr. Fuchs just happened?) there is a bts presumably late in season of beach w g and mom sitting . Beyond their commonality with physical matters, they are a strange pair of individuals with no love interests. Technology! With time and a little more character development she would come to understand it better. While I enjoyed the series on a surface level, I could not resist writing tongue in cheek recaps. 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? Really, all that happens in the part Austen wrote was setting the story in motion by getting Charlotte to Sanditon and mentioning the coming of Miss Lambe the heiress, and introducing most of the characters. (Charlotte is a better character in the book.). Then Sidney is way laid by Tom. :-). Sidney and Tom would not have included have listened to, not included her in their financial discussions, she wouldnt have been able to visit Stringers home (many times!) Sanditon fans got the kind of very good news that once seemed like it was never coming earlier this year: not only is the period drama returning for a long-awaited second season, but received an . In the eighth clip released, Miss Lambe (Crystal Clarke) receives a letter from her love Otis (Jyuddah Jaymes). It's revealed in the season 2 premiere that Sidney Parker died from yellow fever on a trip to Antigua after the events of the first season finale. This is NOT Jane Austen! They must give us a respectful Jane Austen ending!! Charlotte and Sidney clash over Miss Lambe's love life, and Charlotte strikes up a new friendship. (Gasp!) What happens with her? And also a working brain. Also bad work for leaving some characters storylines hanging (Miss Lambe, for instance; what happens to her?). If that had not happened would Lady D have even had a reason to survive to the next episode? I reach for crackers with sharp New Zealand cheddar cheese and a fine red Australian wine and watch Lady D and Esther playing cards. Help! We may receive books (physical or digitized) and DVDs for review purposes. The Ms. Lambe scenario is quite reasonably played out so far, has everyone forgotten that Otis is a rather flamboyant gambler. In addition, we thank the many experts and authors who frequently contribute their posts and opinions, and who continue to do so freely or at our request. I liked the series but loved the last two episodes. And quite uncharacteristic of Lady Denham. Whatever happened to the Heywoods or Lady Susan, or were they meant to make an appearance in Season 2, which will not be funded? He is a weak attempt at Janes magnificent Mr. Darcy and lacks the character of Wentworth. I inferred that they were both childish in spirit and had fun together. His character should have and could have become so much better! It just felt last-minute & sloppy. Recall that he trotted out Otis to say goodbye to you. Willoughby is said to be a man resembling the hero of a favourite story', just as Sidney is handsome and sexy. The final crunch, sacrificing personal happiness for the sake of his brother, was a bit far-fetched, but I thought it showed him to be a better person than many of your readers seem to think, but that is why I think I commented earlier that I am now awaiting Further Adventures of Charlotte, because as in all good soapies, we were left expecting a great deal more there is no ending; it just stops, and you well, at least I we were left wondering what will happen next. An unhappy, often angry woman with no real storyline and then she is rendered absolutely useless in the last episodes. I got much too carried away and meant to but neglected to acknowledge Vic. They exchange smoldering looks. CONTAINS SPOILERS. Will Sidney give himself a talking to? Feeling her lungs start to burn, Charlotte pressed down on her stopwatch, let out a long breath and opened her eyes. However, she's not alone. They could have had a lovely life together. You expressed yourself beautifully and I like your take on this series. With Charlottes friendship with Susan I can see the prince regent investing in Sanditon, thus its prosperity, negating the necessity of Sidney sacrificing love. Really!!??

They are: Click on their names to enter their own blogs. Also, Charlotte was 22, and she never seems quite that age in this series. The writers gave her a talent in organizing events. Is there a next part, my addled brain asked? I am thinking of Persuasion now, and though this is a reverse situation, where the man chooses to marry for money (for whatever reason) instead of for the love of his life there arises an opportunity for a do over. That is a plausible ending if there is another episode for Sanditon. 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. Dont give yourself airs, says Lady D, You havent got my money yet! Im not sure many thought that Otis was a good fit for Georgiana, whose actions proved her immaturity.

They are curious to find out what happens with Charlotte, Sidney, Miss Lambe but unfortunately cannot do anything but use their imaginations . Miss Lambe ( Crystal Clarke) arrives in the seaside resort of Sanditon under the protection of Mrs Griffiths, a middle-aged white woman whose other "charges" include the English Miss. I can take one episode, like a special, but not another season. Plus, why is the elder Stringer working for a gentleman when he hasnt been paid in an age?
