The Essex Serpent is a show I randomly stumbled upon out of boredom and is not something I would usually watch. It was dark and emotional with some romance, and overall I enjoyed it. I'm not someone who knows much about film but I think this show is good, while I'm sure there are things to criticise it for which can be seen throughout many of the other reviews I think it was enjoyable. While I was left with some questions, felt some language choices might not have been best suited and certain parts were rushed, I think it left me content. Overall, solid show that will play with your emotions, I would recommend it if you're looking for something to watch.
