Hello there my little faces. I hope you have a great day. Today, I will write about the tv adaption of Sanditon, Jane Austen’s unfinished book. You see, our queen died before she could finish it ( cries forever ). The tv adaption is made by Andrew Davies who has brought Jane Austen’s book into “life” more than once ( and of course the creator of many more tv-series and movies ).

The story is about a young lady, Charlotte Heywood ( Rose Williams ), who meets Tom Parker ( Kris Marshall ) and his wife Mary ( Kate Ashfield ) when they have an accident on the road with their carriage traveling to Sanditon. A fishing village that Mr. Parker attempts to transform into a seaside resort. They invite Charlotte to spend some time there and her father agrees.

Of course, we’re talking about a Jane Austen’s novel so, romance is involved! Everything changes for Charlotte when she meets the arrogant, Tom’s younger brother, Sidney ( Theo James ). At first, of course, they hate each other ( my favorite kind of love story ) but things are changing pretty quickly.

Of course, the show has some other characters worth mentioning… Like my girl Esther Denham ( Charlotte Spencer ), the annoying Miss Lambe ( Crystal Clarke ), well her role is a nice one but I can’t stand her, the cutie pie of the show Lord Babington ( Mark Stanley ), the “pardon my language” asshole Sir Edward Denham ( Jack Fox ) and the ultimate queen Lady Denham ( Anne Reid ).

The series is quite well written with a remarkable cast and direction. It has great outdoor shooting in the English countryside and very beautiful and accurate costumes. The first season consists of only 8 episodes so it does not get tired of useless details.

( Update: The series renewed for a second season. )
