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. 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). Lady Campion, all noxious graciousness, insinuates herself into the conversation. Sanditon is MASTERPIECE's bold and lavish adaptation of Jane Austen 's final work. Its the same feeling I had when Lady Edith married her Bertie in Downton Abbey, making her a marchioness. Also, Charlotte needs to go back to not being afraid of speaking her mind and maybe spend like any time with some of the ladies she made friends with in Sanditon. I like heartbreaking stories and despite Austen always giving her stories happy endings, this wasnt an Austen story because she never finished it. Ive sworn, after each episode, of this Davies debacle that I wouldnt watch another one, but like the proverbial train wreck, I DVRd it and next day tuned right in: However, this time I read your review first, got a great laugh and finally enjoyed an episode without actually having to watch it! I agree. The movie is more an interpretation of Jane Austens novel while the PBSs P&P series is almost a word-by-word rendition of the same (except for the pond scene).

None of the other characters grew in any noticeable way. This was a normal TV soapie series, and that is why of course it couldnt end, but only leave you wondering what will happen next time. Esther resists, saying she cant play or sing. Loved the usual Austen story. It is so rich in possibilities. Sidney was most amiable by the end of episode 7 and in the finale he left me not wanting to invest any more time and energy in him and his relationship with Charlotte.

They would have enjoyed one another, treated each other kindly while she had her forbidden lover on the side and he did too. Case in point, Miss Jane Austen herself. Is Theo James, the actor, though he tried his best, but hes no Mr. Darcy that way because of his acting chops or because of the script (Davies)? I think Andrew Davies must have had his mind on an entirely different novel. As to Sydney, what a waste of an opportunity to create a kind of Tilney/Darcy hybrid that was gently suggested by his enticingly brief entrance in the novel. I liked the series but loved the last two episodes. Hurray for the REAL men after all the boring buffoons in fancy dress! She is taken to Sanditon by Mrs Griffiths, along with the two Beaufort sisters. Not nearly so much fun I think.

What is Georgiana Lambe's secret? Hopefully, at some point, someone will take him to task and appoint a manager to rein him in. My plea to the powers that be is to think of your audience and order up at least one more episode to tie up loose ends and provide Charlotte with the logical ending she deserves. 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. Charlotte was destined for Sidney Parker, so I reconciled myself to the pairing as an inevitabilityor so I thought. Our main protagonists and characters are assembled, beautifully dressed and ready to party, except for Georgiana, who confronts Sidney. But no solution is found for Miss Lambe! As others have noted Miss Lambs character development and story line vanished once she returned from London. She was the only truly Jane Austen character in the whole series. Uh, oh.
