[quote=Anonymous]I’m ok with Austen being updated to be more racy and woke. What I am NOT ok with is abusing the main characters. In most Austen novels, there may be one peripheral couple with an unfortunate fate — usually cast as their moral commupance — and it’s because they make a bad marriage or are forced to marry. The main characters have a happy marriage. There are also examples of longstanding couples with bad marriages (or not exactly bad, but Austen the unmarried/childless one observing the non-fairy tale like evolution of most marriages.) Sanditon, in contrast, destroyed every single main character and minor character, with the exception of Lord B and Esther. And Esther doesn’t even really deserve it because she has not done anything good or really evolved morally - she is rescued from abuse. I almost wonder if the showrunners were influenced by Game of Thrones in killing off everyone ...[/quote]
