Jane Austen’s unfinished book was brought to the screen and completed in this three season light drama. Ms. Charlotte Heywood, an ingenious and out-spoken farmer’s daughter, visits Sanditon, an up and coming seaside resort town and becomes entwined in the lives of the key players, including visionaries and investors in the town and a rich heiress who’s the daughter of a plantation owner and his slave. Along the way, Ms. Heywood (and everyone else!) finds, looses and finds again romance and love. The show wraps up a little too perfectly and a little too modern, but obviously still worth watching. Andrew Davies, the writer/producer of some excellent British series, is responsible for the quality acting, writing, and production that make Sanditon an enjoyable and fulfilling watch.
I watched this on PBS Passport.
