I don't understand how this show's rating is still so high. Season 1 was great. Interesting, different story. Season 2, meh, it crawled with not much new happening until the last episode. Season 3... so far (episode 2) there's been a LOT of talking, more talking (way, way too much slow dialogue), repeating, fighting, but not much happening. I'm still waiting for all of them to sit down and try and figure out why they are here and how they got there. Nobody is asking questions. You'd think that would be a natural reaction for anyone finding themselves in this situation, but no, these guys just talk a lot, fight a lot and cry a lot. Basically reacting but not thinking ahead. It's honestly getting very, very boring at this point.

This was simply an abomination. Period-inappropriate behaviour, period-inappropriate language, unlikable characters and cast that had about as much chemistry as two bottles of distilled water. The characters actually used a word that has not been even invented till about 200 years later ("empath") and you can see Ms. Dakota actually mouth the "F" word in one scene?! Not to mention Ms. Dakota's wondering accent. (Pick a lane, girl!) Jane Austen's stories had grace, beauty, hope and romance. I found none of those things in this "adaptation". All the characters were unappealing and obnoxious and the "leading man" looked like he had something distasteful in his mouth half the time and simply cross-eyed the other half. I kept wishing he'd go back to sea and drown. Huge disappointment.
