HI Amber, I also love the Original Television Soundtrack of Sanditon which I am often listenning and guess what my favorite track is “Sidney and Charlotte Dance” 😉

In reply to Pascale. Hi, Pascale! I'm so glad you found Sanditon to watch. We both loved it and really want there to be a season two. And, I agree. I think Charlotte should definitely end up with Sidney. I like your comparison to Poldark. :)

I’ve just finish watching Sanditon and I loved this period drama. I’ve discovered it in your list “the top 35 period dramas to satisfy your poldark addiction.”
I am so disappointed it was not renewed for a second season that I at once signed the petition on line for this show to be renewed either that on ITV if that is their decision. This show really deserve a proper ending and Charlotte and Sidney need a proper ending. In fact while watching Sandition I had the same feeling than for Poldark : Delmelza redeemend Ross as well as Charlotte redeemed Sidney, she made him a better man. I’ve seen in the comments that some people think Charlotte shoud have ended with Young Stringer may be because they’re from the same social class but I disagree with that : Ross and Delmelza were not from the same social class and they form a great couple as well as Charlotte and Sidney in Sanditon

In reply to Brittaney B. Yes, but they were all supposed to be developed in later seasons! I think there is definitely a transformation in the jovial younger Parker brother. Perhaps he and Miss Lambe down the road? I think he is being held back, albeit lovingly by his sister. Stringer was definitely supposed to be the love in the end. That is the great think about the show! The fact that it slowly developed people and left us all interested in seeing where they went.

In reply to Jennifer.

Also, did anyone realize that Sidney did to Charlotte what his fiance had done to him? We don’t know the circumstances of her breaking the engagement to marry a wealthier man either. I see so many interesting things that could take place in a second season. Her visiting Susan in London! Her becoming friends with Esther! And, as much as I LOOOOVE Sidney, I think the plot was being set up to put Charlotte and Mr. Stringer together in the long run! Her love with Sidney was to mature her and teach her about life……..so sad to not see it!

Such a perfect show! Equally delicious and deeply interesting. Soooooooo devastated that it is not getting a second season. I don’t understand as it is soooooo pitch perfect and interesting.

In reply to Esther. I agree. And I think a two-hour movie would work just fine to give closure to the story!

I loved this series! Although I felt that some of the plot may have not been faithful to Jane Austen, it was certainly fitting for the time period. I would love to see a second series, if that is not possible then at the very least least, there should be a two hour movie made that ties off all the loose ends into a HAPPY ending.

I have read many of Jane Austen’s books, and watched all of the adapted screenplay videos. Andrew Davies and Julian Fellows are my two favorite writers, although Patricia Rozema did and incredible job in writing and directing Mansfield Park. It would be a horrible disrespect to Jane Austen’s legacy to end Sanditon as it did in Season 1. PBS and Andrew Davies owe it to Miss Austen to finish the story in the spirit in which she would have..
