September 03, 2025 Sanditon TV (S2, E5&6): "So What's Your Take?"
Well... at least we predicted one plotline conclusion? This season wraps up fast and leaves us with plenty to consider, from marriage to madness.

August 20, 2025 Sanditon TV (S2, E3&4): "Pour Some Sugar on Me"
Rivalries, reveals, and rebuffs abound in Sanditon! We're still feeling a bit more Brontë than Austen, but we'll lean into what the creators gave us and dive into these B-plots with aplomb, from boycotts to babies.

June 11, 2025 Sanditon TV (S1, E3&4): "We Listen and We Don't Judge"
...Okay, maybe we judge a little. But the characters in these two episodes started it!
Lauren and Emily follow the increasingly adventurous life of the sleepy beach resort town through incidents and accidents and incest, with detours into Black political activism and (not) judging books by their covers.
