I was surprised when I first learned about the second series too, if I'm honest. And there's to be a third? Okaaay. At least I'll be prepared for a cliffhanger ending instead of being blindsided by it.
I appreciate your not spoiling me. As of this moment, I've watched the two first eisodes, I'm just behind on posting about them. They were enjoyable, if not always for the best reasons. I'm going to try to follow the airing schedule, but we'll see how that goes as the summer progresses.
I've always approached the show as more Andrew Davies's Sanditon than Jane Austen's, so yeah, it is basically fanfiction with all sorts of mental contortions to try to forget how Austen would handle the dialogue much better and not write most of the scenarios the characters end up in!
