[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I feel like it’s impossible for a show with an incest storyline to be fun. Icky. [/quote]

They aren’t genetically related. [/quote]

Still gross. Yuck. [/quote]

Well yeah- it’s not presented as socially acceptable. [/quote]

They’re kinda the bad guys [/quote]

I just prefer my Austen tv to be frothier, I guess.

Mostly this isn’t working for me because I hate the main “romance.” I think he’s a jerk and she’s a child. [/quote]

I think she’s super cute, but A. I could do without all the squinting, and B. would decent women of marriageable age really have been running around with fully uncontained hair at that time in England? Even during social engagements?[/quote]

Well the one time her hair was “done” it looked truly awful so I prefer the wild look. I thought it was meant to demonstrate her lack of wealth. [/quote]

DP. Yet her clothes (I guess...paid for by Tom and Mary? Too nice for a farm girl to afford) ranged from simple but very well-made to incredibly elegant (the two ball gowns). So the always-down hair the rest of the time wasn't in keeping with the fact she was dressing like a town girl of marriageable age, living in the home of the best known person in town. I'm not a huge stickler for perfect historical accuracy in these kinds of shows, but although the producers surely thought her loose hair signaled her innocence, in that time and place it would have signaled just the opposite, probably. Young ladies on the marriage market just didn't go around hair-down in public. It's just one example of how a detail can be distracting and pull viewers out of the world of the story. [/quote]
