Ultimately, though Sanditon may have tamed down its more shocking sensibilities in a desire to be more Austen, it has sought to take the best of what she gave us and remix it for its own purposes to entertaining, if imperfect, effect. Or to paraphrase: disdain its every word, but as romance persists, keep watching. Read full review

Rather soapy in its one-darned-thing-after-another storytelling, “Sanditon” is engaging, if a bit lightweight. Read full review

The story improves as the episodes put some distance between tying off last season's loose ends. ... It all winds up with a jaw-dropping cliffhanger, although long before that bomb drops you may pine for more episodes. Twists notwithstanding don't expect much in the way of innovation in this second season. ... This latest stroll has a few trips and bumps, but is never unendurable. Read full review

This second run duly took a while to get going, but when it stopped apologising for what it was not – neither Austen redux nor a postmodern costumer – Sanditon found its voice and occasionally took wing. Read full review

It’s not worth investing in a BritBox subscription for, but there are worse things to spend an hour on. Read full review

As if to compensate for the uninspired plotting, the cast overacts shamelessly, turning this homage into a handsome but wearying period cartoon. [28 Mar - 10 Apr 2022, p.7] Read full review

Season 2 was vastly superior to Season 1 due to superb, nuanced, nonverbal acting; adorable cast; beautiful costumes, parties and dancing worthy of a Regency period drama. Viewers need to be patient and let the story lines unfold and develop through to the end of Season 3 (to be aired inSeason 2 was vastly superior to Season 1 due to superb, nuanced, nonverbal acting; adorable cast; beautiful costumes, parties and dancing worthy of a Regency period drama. Viewers need to be patient and let the story lines unfold and develop through to the end of Season 3 (to be aired in 2023). Season 2 (only 6 episodes versus 8 episodes in Season 1) is just a stepping stone to the ending in next year's Season 3. Because of the longer plot development, some found Season 2 "boring" or "wearying"; however, I did not. If you are looking for non-Bridgerton drama, you won't be disappointed.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Given the long gap between Season 1 and 2 and the key actors that were unable to return (necessitating the tragic death of the romantic hero Sidney and the loss of the lovely Stringer and Babington), it was inevitable that the new series would be quite different. Unfortunately, instead of being more Austen-like, it veered into soapy melodrama even more than Season 1, to the point of ridiculousness at times. It was more like a pastiche of Austen with borrowed bits from numerous other books and films. There were some excellent performances and the sets were better (although the CGI is still dodgy), but the multiple plots and characters all jostled for attention, to the detriment of the central love story, which lacked the magic and sparkle of Season 1 and yet again ended with an implausible cliffhanger. I enjoyed catching up with some of the old characters, but I missed the muted colours, historical realism and sexiness of the first season.… Expand
