I was surprised that there was a second season ofBelgravia. The first season had an engrossing storyline and a fine cast-Dame Harriet Walter Tamain Grieg to name two.
That the writers chose to focus on the character of Frederick Trenchard is puzzling. The characterization seem to be 21st century attitudes imposed on late 19th persons. The character of Clara, for instance, is an attractive young woman from a family with no money. She marries a wealthy man and then behaves in a manner that makes no sense. Spare the viewer the cliché of her being a free spirit and that she's somehow bold and forward thinking.
