Amazed this shallow rubbish seems to be at all popular. Appears to be poor Jane Austen fan fiction and cosplay, by people who have only seen bad film versions, latched on to the most superficial aspects and missed all the interesting bits. The narrative device of a printed scandalsheet to explain what is going on seems the final unsubtle insult to an audience, assumed to be too thick to pick up any subtlety whatsoever.

Seems to be aiming for the "so bad it's good" form of satire, but unfortunately only gets to be "so bad". Not funny, and cringeworthy to watch. Luckily episodes are short, but I still want my 6 minutes of my life back from watching two.
