Sanditon is kinda lame. It’s Jane Austin’s unfinished novel and according to Stacy the series ran the course of what she wrote halfway through the first season. The second season is tepid - the trappings of an Austen tale without that exquisite language and etiquette, and lackluster performances.
Before We Die is pbs but I’m not sure if it was masterpiece. It’s a remake of a Swedish police procedural that went 2 seasons. The first season of this reboot is six eps and stars Lesley Sharp. She’s a cop and her son, who she put in jail in a sting operation, has gone deep undercover to expose a drug smuggling family that killed her partner. She’s teamed with a rogue agent and there’s a mole in the police dept so they must investigate off the books.
This started somewhat hackneyed but grew in complexity and intensity until the final two eps, which were quite engrossing. Some unforeseen twists and new territory for the old deep cover yarn. Had us both guessing incorrectly on several occasions.
I got rather confused when looking this up just now because I stumbled on the original which was like the multiverse version - different actors playing somewhat parallel named characters. Took me a bit to sort it.
Not D00M recommended because y’all ain’t into euro procedurally like us. But this was a pretty good one as that genre goes.
