Wharton&apos;s unfinished work gets a second chance as a TV series for the modern audience...

Edith Wharton&apos;s unfinished 1938 novel gets a second chance as a TV series, no doubt aided by Marion Mainwaring&apos;s completion of the book in 1993, based on Wharton&apos;s notes. The literary world was split on the two versions, but were in total cahoots when chastising the 1995 BBC TV series.

Almost thirty years on and Apple TV give it a fresh life for the modern audience, but still set it in the original period of 1870, when New York social manners where on a decline (that part of it brilliantly captured on another 2022 TV series - The Gilded Age). So a group of very American kind-of-women travel to London with the excuse of finding the perfect mannered rich English husband (but really find themselves in the process!).

The first thirty minutes seemed to be doomed, with a messy and uninteresting lazy set-up, pandering to a younger hip audience. It is soon saved by Wharton&apos;s true passion and champion of women&apos;s dilemmas during the patriarchy rule of the 1870&apos;s. Unfortunately the filmmakers style leans more toward a lightweight soapy romantic drama that has a rather blunt edge, but still maintains your interest with its lavish production.
