‘Miss Scarlet and the Duke’ Is Your Next Mystery Period Drama Series

tv, tv reviews

If you know me, you know I enjoy watching all sorts of TV and film, which means I also take pleasure in watching a well-produced period drama. Sadly, in the era of competing streaming services and television, they’re scarce, and if we are lucky to get one, we often have a long wait for a new season (not that I’m complaining–waiting for a new season of Peaky Blinders is always worth it). Last year, a light seemingly shone as we were blessed with Sanditon, but that crashed and burned faster than Mr. Tom Parker’s uninsured building.  However, despite this heaping

Sanditon 1×07 Review

Spoilers Ahead Welcome to Sanditon weekly, darlings — this one is going to be a bumpy ride so buckle up and maybe bring back the spiked tea. There’s a great deal to unpack with this episode, for it deals with perhaps some of the most human struggles to date. What does it mean to see ourselves through another’s perspective? Are we defined by the decisions we’ve made in the past or are we defined by the labels that are given to us? Or do we define ourselves with the choices we make every single day? It’s a never-ending struggle because

Sanditon 1×06 Review

Spoilers Ahead Welcome to Sanditon weekly, darling readers — the tropey-est, most exhilarating episode yet, we’re two away from the season finale and things are getting deliciously captivating. It picks up right where we left off last week with Charlotte on her way to London in hopes of finding Georgiana, except what she finds instead is Sidney on the same mission. And who doesn’t love an unplanned trope filled mission? All that was missing the necessity to share a bed because they were stranded somewhere with no other option, but I get it, I get it. It isn’t very Austen-esque.

Sanditon 1×05 Review

Spoilers Ahead That cricket match alone calls for some spiked tea, darling readers. Welcome to another episode of Sanditon weekly where we’ve sadly made little progress, but the series is continuing to reiterate the importance of transparency in relationships. The significance of being open and honest with our beliefs is essentially the very thing that strengthens us as humans, too. It’s what allows situations to flow smoother as opposed to falling apart as drastically as they do in this episode, but for the sake of angsty television, it works in creating riveting, deliciously fun storytelling along with some heartbreaking arcs.

Sanditon 1×04 Review

Spoilers Ahead Welcome to Sanditon weekly, darling readers – what flavor of tea are we drinking today? (I’ve got the perfect lavender/blueberry mix.) The series’ untitled fourth episode is a dim ride with little progression, but perhaps, one of the most important arcs throughout the season. It’s an episode that focuses heavily on some chief flaws we all have as human beings – the choice to form judgements based on assumptions and frequently disregarding a universal truth, which is that there are always multiple sides to a story. It’s almost frustrating how many assumptions are thrown around in this episode,
