Ultimately, though Sanditon may have tamed down its more shocking sensibilities in a desire to be more Austen, it has sought to take the best of what she gave us and remix it for its own purposes to entertaining, if imperfect, effect. Or to paraphrase: disdain its every word, but as romance persists, keep watching.

The story improves as the episodes put some distance between tying off last season's loose ends. ... It all winds up with a jaw-dropping cliffhanger, although long before that bomb drops you may pine for more episodes. Twists notwithstanding don't expect much in the way of innovation in this second season. ... This latest stroll has a few trips and bumps, but is never unendurable.

Season 2 was vastly superior to Season 1 due to superb, nuanced, nonverbal acting; adorable cast; beautiful costumes, parties and dancing worthy of a Regency period drama. Viewers need to be patient and let the story lines unfold and develop through to the end of Season 3 (to be aired in 2023). Season 2 (only 6 episodes versus 8 episodes in Season 1) is just a stepping stone to the ending in next year's Season 3. Because of the longer plot development, some found Season 2 "boring" or "wearying"; however, I did not. If you are looking for non-Bridgerton drama, you won't be disappointed.

Season 2 was AMAZING. The storyline the costumes the music... I can not wait for season 3. I have watched the season 6 times

Rather soapy in its one-darned-thing-after-another storytelling, “Sanditon” is engaging, if a bit lightweight.

It’s not worth investing in a BritBox subscription for, but there are worse things to spend an hour on.

This second run duly took a while to get going, but when it stopped apologising for what it was not – neither Austen redux nor a postmodern costumer – Sanditon found its voice and occasionally took wing.

As if to compensate for the uninspired plotting, the cast overacts shamelessly, turning this homage into a handsome but wearying period cartoon. [28 Mar - 10 Apr 2022, p.7]
