I somehow got talked into this and immediately wondered if I’d made the wrong move, given how tedious I find Jane Austen et al. This was definitely no Downton Abbey though, and by episode 5 was bordering on Game of Thrones-style sex scenes. It frustrates the crap outta me to watch people communicating in a mode where nobody really says anything (just constant insinuations & hints), and where the most pressing concern of the day is how long since one last had a social caller. However within the framework of that ridiculous frippery, it was a pretty decent story. 👍
