Currently watching Sanditon Season 3 after catching up with the first two seasons.

It’s actually not that easy to find contents or analyzes about this show. If you have some, please send them my way. I won’t dive too deeply into Sanditon myself, but here is my quick take on it.

*SPOILERS*

❤️ What I like :

The Original Soundtrack

Ruth Barrett did an amazing job in Season 1. Here is an interview which dives into her process as a composer.

The Overall Aesthetic

I am not immune to a slick take like Emma (2020) which is visually stunning, but I’ve noticed that my taste in period drama movies and tv shows leans toward a more naturalistic look.

Yes, Pride & Prejudice (2005) atmosphere, especially the cinematography by Roman Osin, ruined me.

Georgiana Lambe x Arthur Parker

It’s refreshing to see a friendship between a woman and a man for once. They balance each other out with one who can’t escape people’s scrutiny and the other being constantly overlooked.

Esther Denham x Clara Bereton

The Frenemies. Somehow despite their antagonistic relationship and their twisted behavior, at the end of the day, they have each other’s back. I want more women’s solidarity in stories.

James Stringer

Second lead syndrom ?

Sydney Parker’s death

Not that I wanted him to die but I enjoy the fact that they didn’t brush it under the rug and showed how this event affected his entourage.

Charles Lockhart

I didn’t see that twist coming. I was sad because I love him and his dynamic with Georgiana and Arthur. But I enjoy hating him while re-watching the show.

They did his character a disservice by bringing him back in the third season. It doesn’t ring true to me. Despite himself, I believe he caught some feelings for Georgiana and Arthur along the way.

Samuel Colbourne

I may have a thing for dark hair light eyes men ? Well, he is definitely less boring than his brother.

❌ What I don't like :

Basically? The romantic relationships.

Charlotte Heywood x Sidney Parker

Alright, yes the sexy low voice of Sidney works on me too. But what’s left when you go beyond physical attraction between them ? A man who belittles Charlotte at every turn.

It’s infuriating how many times she apologizes to him when he just barely apologize to her once.

To put a spin on his love declaration : I do not think that Charlotte is her best self with Sidney.

Esther Denham x Lord Babington

The man wore her down and for him, no means yes. Dude, let the woman become a rich heiress and decides what she wants in life. And the all thing about wanting a baby because it’s what Lord Babington deserves ? It reaaally rubs me the wrong way.

Charlotte Heywood x Alexander Colbourne

Oh the all “let’s hook up with my boss” thing. Charlotte wants to financially sustain herself but tried to be a governess once and then gave up ? Sure, she had to stay in Sanditon for the sake of the show’s name but still...

Also, Alexander is boring because he acts like a male lead, brooding, playing with dogs and riding horses but he is not fleshed out. And how many times can he change his mind in less than ten minutes ? Seriously ?

Too bad, I was really curious about the Colbourne household life. Mrs Weathley is such a mood.

And again : what’s left when you go beyond physical attraction between them ?

Sanditon Fam —

We continue to be blown away by the volume of submissions received during our 12 Days of Sanditon event, and want to thank everyone who participated: both our talented writers and content creators, as well as the eager readers who happily gobbled it up!

Soon we will publish the masterlist!

Remember that you still have until the 30th of December to get in any late submissions. Please contact us directly if you are working on something and may need a day or two more—we’ll try to be flexible.

With Sanditon’s future being grim as of now, we wondered what everyone’s feelings were on a Valentine’s Week event? Once the show airs in the US, we might get a flux of new fans/shippers: please share your thoughts with us in the notes.

xoxo - Mods Lori & Lis

I really liked the second season. Esther always my queen. I start to falling in love of Fraser since the very first second. Again I like the second couple more. But I really hope in season 3 Babington appears at least in one last scene.

[miladylocksley]

can you believe Lord Babington called Esther deliciously disdainful and made my heart flutter a little bit

[ruthbaderjaneway]

What do my Battlestar Galactica ships vs. my Sanditon ships have in common?

Laura Roslin and William Adama from Battlestar Galactica...

and Esther and Lord Babington from Sanditon...

...have very similar music! Two minutes into the Roslin & Adama theme sounds SO MUCH like Esther Take the Reins!

And I've been the fool before This time I'm gonna slow it down 'Cause I think this could be more The thing I'm looking for
