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.
