Title: Sanditon
Review: Classic BBC Masterpiece production, created by Andrew Davies (House of Cards) from an unfinished Jane Austin novel. The show has unrequited Jane Austin love as well as J.A. burgeoning questions about woman’s place and rights in Victorian England. Set in the seaside town of Sanditon, the story follows an extended family trying to create a notable holiday destination by the sea. Scandals abound, as might be expected. The acting is top notch and Reid (Halifax) is her always magnificent detestable self. Great attention to the period via costumes, music, sets. Beautiful to watch, if you go in for classic “Masterpiece”.
