I've only just watched the second episode, but I'm hooked now! The main character is really observant and brave and I love watching her expressions whenever someone particularly greasy tries to befriend her. There's a lot of tension in the first couple episodes around authenticity, motivations, and the slave trade, with hints of childhood sexual abuse.

And for the sake of context; I'm an Austen fan, an English major, and a librarian. This has her rather sardonic eye all over it.

I rather like this series, although it is certainly not Jane Austen. HOWEVER, the stickler in me compels me to note . . .

A significant theme in the second season is Georgianna's campaign to 'boycott' sugar in the interest of ending slavery. This in 1820.

In fact, the word 'boycott' did not enter the English language until 1880, as the result of tactics employed by Irish nationalists against one Charles Cunningham Boycott, at the suggestion of Parnell.

It is the best period drama in a very long while due to the best casting/acting/directing/music/locations and everything in between. Rose William's and Thei James were born to play Charlotte and Sidney. 9 stars only due to happy ending and also coz we need season2.

With social media being as it is, you cannot help but get roped into all the controversy going on about this show. So I took a look at some YouTube clips and other things going around on Twitter and Instagram etc and got the general gist of what the show is all about. All I can say, is that I was hooked - right from the very first clip. Whoever had the brilliant idea to cast Theo James as the tall, dark, mysteriously brooding Sidney Parker should be applauded. He is absolutely brilliant in this role. I have seen him in other things, but I think this has really showed how good of an actor he really is. Of course he is handsome (any red blooded female can see that) but that didn't even matter to me, because he brought Sidney Parker to life for me. He made me fall in love with him just as Charlotte did and he made me irritated and annoyed just as Charlotte was. He is just an amazing actor and he suited this role to a tee. Charlotte's character (played by Rose Williams) took me a while to warm up to but I found her maturing with each episode and I liked her spunk and charisma but I also liked her softer more vulnerable side which came out slowly as she begun to realize her true feelings for Sidney. Rose is a very talented actor as well. She is exactly how I would picture Charlotte to be.

So to all you people saying how horrible it is and that Jane Austen would be turning in her grave etc etc, I say - SO WHAT! I have a sneaky suspicion that she really isn't worried about it in the slightest. Get over yourselves, get a glass of wine, sit back and just enjoy this wonderfully lovely romantic story. I did! Bring on season 2!!!

Really enjoyed it from beginning to end. Hope we get to see more of the characters! Let's have a series 2 please!

Loved season one

Fell in love with this series from episode one. Loved this series - fantastic performances and great show please we need season 2.

Loved, loved, loved this series but desperately need all loose ends tied up with a further series. Need my JA happy ending

I enjoyed the production for what it was: an historically inaccurate JAFF (Jane Austen Fan Fiction) with beautiful scenery. While it was visually beautiful, there were too many jarring things that cut into my enjoyment. The dancing and women's hairstyles were NOT Regency. Adult women did NOT wear their hair down, EVER. I don't know what the dancing was supposed to be, but it wasn't even close to Regency. Also, the mores of the characters had a distinctly modern attitude, which kept taking me out of the purported period (Regency era England). The acting was well done and the story fairly well told. If I wasn't such an Austen and JAFF fan, I might have let all the inconsistencies slide. Unfortunately, I expect more from period dramas, than this offered. This was like a beautifully decorated cake, that tasted of liver and onions (there's a more apt description that would have been a shocking spoiler. One word: pineapple, LOL).

I might watch it again, if I can put all the inaccuracies and incongruities out of my mind.

Sanditon was fabulous. It had a beautiful (and very Austen-like) romance, funny (also very Austen-like) characters, lovely scenery, interesting storylines for all characters and the drama we all know and love from the mind of Andrew Davies. I'll keep this short and sweet, and end by saying saying watch Sanditon, you won't regret it! P.s. I'm very much looking forward to the announcement of series 2.

2 episodes in and I can't say I won't carry on, but it is NOT a Jane Austen production. Austen had a genius for working within the strict social mores of her time. Sanditon plays loose with the rules of conversation. We keep exclaiming - she would NEVER say that at a dinner party! That would NEVER hapen!

It's entertaining enough but holds none of Austen's delicate but laser-like touch. The acting is a bit dreary, and altogether it feels like an slightly above average BBC drama piece.

Beautiful production physically with the worst ending I can remember seeing in ages and an insult to Jane Austen.

By the third episode I was completely hooked. The music, acting and scenery get better and better. It ends on a huge cliff hanger and I'm excited for season 2 to be announced to make everything right.

This could be my favourite Austen adaptation and I thought that nothing could top the 1995 version of Pride and Prejudice. The series was a slow burner for me but by episode 2, I was hooked. The love story between the two main characters keeps you on your seat throughout the whole series and by ep 7 you are shouting at the screen for them to get together. The ending is unexpected, however, it sets it up perfectly for season two.

I can't express how much I loved this show. I'm not a huge fan of tv series. It's unlikely that I fall in love with them... instead, it's unusual when I keep watching them, 'cause I often get bored after few episodes. But this never happened to me with "Sanditon". Despite the linearity of the plot, all the characters are well-written, even those who are in the background. You think that, when you start watching a Jane Austen's novel adaptation, you'll see an happy ending where the two protagonists get married... but things in "Sanditon" are more complicated than this. I didn't appreciate at first how Davies ended the relationship between Sidney and Charlotte, but if this would mean there will be a season two... I'm on board. They have so much to give to the plot!

I watched all 8 episodes of Sanditon and it had me captivated every single week. Andrew Davies did well with the storyline but the ending of episode 8 was such an anti-climax that we now need season 2 to finish the story with a happy ending. The acting was superb as was the location and costumes. Looking forward to more in the near future.

I absolutely loved this series and I couldn't help but invest emotionally in the characters. The way the storylines developed and intertwined made it so interesting. Can't wait for a second series.

As a show somewhat enjoyable. Lacks the subtlety of both Austen and the period, especially in the 2nd series. The 'baddies' were to obvious with few redeeming qualities and the storylines rather extreme, if not silly, which fail to create the tension in each episode.

I have gone down the Jane Austen Period Piece rabbit hole on this program it is slowly picking up stream .

Sisterhood campaign ! :) If it were it not for a fan-led campaign the show could easily have slipped off TV altogether. A Sanditon Sisterhood campaign kicked into gear when the show was axed by original broadcaster ITV after just one season and, more than a year after the cancellation, Sanditon, which is based on an unfinished Austen manuscript, was revived for a second and third run by co-producer PBS Masterpiece and ITV-owned streamer BritBox. When I fired up episode one of Season #2 three Sunday night ago on Network PBS ; I thought to my self ? " This show is made solely for women ; and it's real obvious . I Will add that my motivation to watch this costume period piece fare was solely for Rose Williams ! Rose is worth the price of admission. She is a good actress and the standout here. I knew she would be good as I liked her character in "the so call dramatic series" Reign TV show Williams was a fire cracker in that show. I look forward to Sundays fourth episode of season 2 I think it is going to get better as the season progresses ! This type of programming I find very addictive for some reason ! I find it a good watch on a Sunday night.

I really enjoyed the whole series. Great chemistry between the main characters and really liked the sub-plots. Yes, the ending wasn't as expected BUT it was entertaining and well done and I very much hope there will be a second series.
