Sanditon needs an ending -- This ending was "awful"
I purchased the Blu-Ray version of Sanditon and thoroughly enjoyed it except I was disappointed to find the ending as a cliff hanger. Please, give us an ending to the story. I appeal to the producers of this production, please, please, please -- We need an ending to this story -- not a cliff hanger. It's not fair to us -- Jane Austen's fans.
I didn't want to be a "spoiler" but now that the last episode was shown on PBS last Sunday, here are my additional thoughts. What I said initially was true -- I did enjoy Sanditon -- the whole production, the costumes, the cast, the chemistry between Charlotte and Sidney....until it came to the end. The end was awful!!! Jane Austen always ended her stories with a happy ending. Andrew Davies took a big risk in giving us a "cliff hanger" as an ending without being sure that there would be a Season 2. He should have made it a whole production -- just like A&E's Pride and Prejudice, and given Charlotte and Sidney a proper ending -- a happy one: Together
To get away for a while from the realities of life, I love to watch "feel good" movies with a happy ending. This one did not make me feel good at all. I read one viewer's comments who felt cheated and betrayed by Andrew Davies after she watched the ending. If we don't get a Season 2 and a proper happy ending for the two main characters, I would feel same way as this viewer. How about that, Mr. Davies?
Today, May 6, 2021, I read that PBS has decided to renew Sanditon for Season 2 and 3. Hooray! That's the best news I've read so far regarding Sanditon and I look forward to watching it on PBS. This time, I hope that producers will produce an ending story and mark it "Option B" just in case the series is not renewed after Series 3 which I hope will not happen. Producers -- now's your chance -- give us a "happy ending" for closure to this series.
