[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If the US numbers are good enough, then Netflix or prime could pick it up and make a second season. I’m pretty sure that’s what happened with the Last Kingdom.

If they do another season, please make it more like the steamy first season of Outlander. [/quote]

That'll ensure I don't tune in. "Sanditon" was already too preoccupied with incest and rutting on the drawing room floor. Not saying there was no sex back in the day, but the show was so pleased with itself for being "racy" that it didn't do things like, oh, tie up plots that got dropped.[/quote]

I thought they did a good job of spicing it up a bit more than the typical Jane Austen movie. But I do agree I'd like more shows like OUtlander, with such frank and joyous sex scenes, from the women's viewpoint and pleasure.  Outlander really stands on it's own in that regard.

I appreciated Sanditon. I liked that they injected the entrepreneurial shift that occurred during that time.  Really highlights how marriage for the upper classes was about money - how else could you make something of yourself.  The foreman's storyline, while minor in this season, could really build in future seasons.  I actually hoped he was the long game love interest for Charlotte. Sydney was super delicious, but I needed to see more development from him to believe he was in love with Charlotte.

I also appreciated Ms. Lambe's character. So much spunk and force of character.

The more I think about it, the more I realize this was the prologue season, and that the writers intended the story to be more Downton Abbey in length, rather than a stand alone Jane Austen one season show.
