Sanditon - Season 2
After a difficult start, Sanditon has improved a lot.
**Note: If you haven't seen the second season yet, this review may contain spoilers.**
The first episode takes some getting used to. This is often the case with television series. It takes some time after the conclusion of the first season before the second season starts. It is often used to reacquaint with the characters that were already there. In addition, this season of Sanditon also has a number of new characters. Important characters that take time to get to know. For those who think that the love story between Sidney and Charlotte (Rose Williams, Reign (2013)) will take center stage again, there is a disappointing message. That relationship is literally killed right away in the first scene.
Maybe it's the shock of that mentioned event, but the first episode takes a bit more effort than usual to get into it (again). Then the series ignites as usual with love affairs, manipulation, old-fashioned etiquette, light humor, fantastic clothing and beautiful imagery. In just six episodes, the story delivers everything you can expect from a British costume drama. It is clear that the influence of Jane Austen has now been reduced to a minimum. The feminism card is played less. That is not to say that there are no strong women left.
In the (actually) surprising plot, the manipulation mainly comes from the family around lady Denham (Anne Reid, Last Tango In Halifax). Esther, Edward and Clara ensure that there is enough excitement and sensation again this season. The situation around Sanditon itself plays less of a role this season. The presence of the army is enough of a distraction. Colonel Lennox (Tom Weston-Jones, Dickensian) quickly usurps a place within Sanditon. It creates excitement and commotion.

One of those women is the wealthy, and partly because of this, independent Georgiana Lambe (Crystal Clarke, Roadkill (2020)). Her (lack of) love life is one of the most important stories. She finds men annoying. However, it soon becomes clear that there is someone who wants her attention. Of course, Charlotte will experience a lot again this season. She is joined by her sister Alison (Rosie Graham, Outlander). The latter finds her great love in an army officer who is temporarily housed in Sanditon. Of course that doesn't go without a hit or a hit.Then the series ignites as usual with love affairs, manipulation, old-fashioned etiquette, light humor, fantastic clothing and beautiful imagery.

The second season lives up to all expectations. It all looks fantastic again. The mix between lightheartedness and excitement is nicely balanced. The most important new characters, including those I have not mentioned, give Sanditon new spirit. The third season has already been announced. Lovers of British costume drama have something to look forward to again.It all looks fantastic again.
