Was the show any good? I didn't bother to watch it after I read that they decided to add some sex scenes to "make it more appealing to modern audiences" and that it got cancelled after the first season.

If you're looking for something that's more purist Austen, no. Many of the elements are there, but it's a little spiced up - though not that much, IMO. Just by Austen standards and IIRC there's more male nudity (back, topless) than female nudity. And there's incest, which wouldn't have turned up in an Austen novel, either.



But honestly, none of that bothered me nearly as much as the bit where the heroine rushes off to London to search for her friend - all on her own, having never been there before in her life, without an escort. And people don't go apeshit over it. I mean, they get a little upset, but they don't act like this is something that young ladies of good breeding absolutely did NOT do, which was more likely the case.

Haha, seriously? To quote Mrs. Bennet: "We are all ruined!"

LOL, exactly. In Sanditon, the family who's supposed to be looking after her barely bat an eye, and worse yet, she meets up with her love interest and nobody bats an eye that she's only escorted by an unmarried man she's not related to.

YES. She goes to London ALONE. That was the point where I was like "this is too much" lol. Plus, she gets there one night and runs into her love interest, and they're travelling in a carriage the next day. THIS IS A BIG FREAKING DEAL.

Yes! And she gets back and nobody's upset at her for, you know, endangering her own reputation as well as her family's reputation... her family doesn't even know? Her host family also doesn't seem to mind, either. That really bothered me. :(
