Whilst I enjoyed this period drama - the acting, the storyline, the costumes and characters, the historical inaccuracy was very irritating. Why do producers feel the need to insert diversity where it is not needed or where it takes away the authenticity of the era it is depicting? There is no way a black woman would have been accepted as she was in Sanditon. Why did there need to be a gay character and a child who had some kind of gender dysmorphia not to mention the modern feminist narrative. It seemed like they were just ticking the diversity boxes instead of remaining true to the story and the era. Despite that did enjoy the series and was willing to overlook its inadequacies.
