Sanditon's strong conceit gives way to too many episodes that serve as clunky filler between Charlotte's disastrous first encounter with Sidney and their eventual oozy denouement. ... Even in spite of Sanditon's many prosaic faults, I left the finale thinking, "Wow. They really went for it."

Every box is ticked off to great satisfaction or dull predictability depending on where you stand on the period drama tolerance scale.
-
It leaned into pulp and became a careless attempt to finish what might have been a great work. The more salacious bits might well have their place, but tying it to Austen is an extraordinary miscalculation.
-
As Charlotte, Williams lacks sincerity, often lapsing into period drama caricature, all quivering mouth and shining, eager eyes. In fact, most of the performances here feel cliched and devoid of any nuance – not helped by the rather on-the-nose script.
