Maybe this got mentioned earlier and I didn't see it, but when something purports to be in a historical setting and they get VERY basic details wrong. I am not saying historically set dramas have to be perfectly historical and I'm all for things like Hamilton that are basically riffs on history, or Bridgerton which is (I think) supposed to be a kind of fantay remagining. Do what you want then! Go crazy!

But when I see what is clearly meant to be seriously reflecting a real period, NOT a riff or reimagining or comic take, and they clearly screw up the simplest basics, it's crazy. I ran across Sanditon on PBS yesterday. I dumped that show early for its overall stupidity, but catching a newer episode yesterday, yep, they still have the young women with hair flowing loose and wild in public, and going around -- to a military emcampment -- completely unchaperoned. Both are touches which would never happen in that particular place, time and social setting. It takes me out of the story entirely, it's so basic. [/quote]
