The Buccaneers - Apple TV

[madaboutharry]

Based on the last novel by Edith Wharton.

I was an English Literature major and vaguely remember having to read something by Edith Wharton. I am rather certain it was Ethan Frome. Whatever it was, I do recall being bored out of my mind.

Apple TV has now dropped Season 2 of The Buccaneers, the story of a group of wealthy American women who travel to England in the 1870's to find husbands.

In a need to escape the world, I binged watched both seasons this week. IT IS FANTASTIC! I am not a fan of period dramas, but this was so well done. The writing, the acting, and the scenery is all superb.

And Christina Hendricks is in it. And she is wonderful.

1. pretty sure PBS had it years ago.

2. That would have been a different production.

You are referencing a BBC production from 1995. I am not talking about that.

This is a brand new original series on Apple TV.

3. I think season 2 is far better than the 1st.

Enjoyed them both.
