So I haven't read a lot of Jane Austen books, but from the two that I have read, Austen's female protagonists are powerful and ahead of their time. Charlotte doesn't feel like that. There is something submissive about her. She only stands up to Sidney and Lady Denham, but there has to be more to her. I hope we get to see that in S2.
Sidney Parker's character is fine tbh. He feels like a Austen man.
And obviously the ending could have been better. I guess that's what happens when you have a man behind the helms.😒
But all in all, if you like cheesy period dramas to pass time, this is good.
