Wonderfully acted all around + I don't think I've ever seen chemistry, like that between the 2 leads, on tele before (the 2nd ball is simply spellbinding). The layered storylines are very absorbing and good to see other characters have depth and meaningful plots of their own. Some viewers don't seem to like the "warts/bums and all" portrayal of Austen's work in this adaptation, but it feels like a truer reflection of the times she lived in and reflects issues we're still trying to come to terms with in society today - so I, for one, think it's refreshing!
Ignore the critics - those who think Austen wouldn't have approved evidently have no concept of her spirit - as long as there's a second series that is!

It is the best period drama in a very long while due to the best casting/acting/directing/music/locations and everything in between. Rose William's and Thei James were born to play Charlotte and Sidney. 9 stars only due to happy ending and also coz we need season2.
Loved, loved, loved this series but desperately need all loose ends tied up with a further series.
Need my JA happy ending
I rather like this series, although it is certainly not Jane Austen. HOWEVER, the stickler in me compels me to note . . .
A significant theme in the second season is Georgianna's campaign to 'boycott' sugar in the interest of ending slavery. This in 1820.
In fact, the word 'boycott' did not enter the English language until 1880, as the result of tactics employed by Irish nationalists against one Charles Cunningham Boycott, at the suggestion of Parnell.

Really enjoyed it from beginning to end. Hope we get to see more of the characters! Let's have a series 2 please!
