Alright I've watched #Sanditon now. One of my takeaways is this series stands on its own - it takes inspiration from #JaneAusten but she didn't finish the book so I guess they could take liberties. (1/?)

First of all Mr Stringer (I know he's a minor character in the book) is just way less complicated as a man. People who lie to me or hurt me are trash and stay in the trash. That's why I can't like Sidney Parker. (2/?)

Yeah sure he's nice to look at, you could cut glass with that jaw line (and those mad V-lines). But if you ever met a man like that in real life, who was just rude to you and made you feel bad about yourself you would fucking run. You should run. (3/?)

I mean I get it. He's dark, he's complicated, he's escapism. But seriously Charlotte has been dragged through the mud and she deserves better. I'd much rather her run off with Susan. At least Susan seems to be looking out for Charlotte's interests and her goodness. (4/?)

At least Wentworth redeemed himself. There's no redemption for Sidney Parker. He was selfish to see her one last time and tell her he doesn't love the woman he's about to marry - it's very Willougby-esque in Sense and Sensibility when he comes to Cleveland. (5/?)

It was for selfish gratification. Now Charlotte has that to hold on to so she's on a string so to speak. You've already humiliated her enough, now you want her to pine for you? Grow up. Having said that I really enjoyed Sanditon and am always here for an Austen. (6/7)

I just wanted to vent because everyone I speak to is, "Oh, I love Sidney Parker." I get it and it certainly helps that he's played by Theo James. But he's no Darcy or Wentworth.(7/7)
