Title: A sad excuse for a sequel.....
Review: I was thoroughly enchanted by the original Cranford and, therefore, filled with happy anticipation for the sequel. What a disappointment it is: ridiculous plot lines, poor writing, choppy pacing, sloppy editing. It contains none of the substance or subtlety of the original and little of it's charm. The actors are the only pleasure yet they are given precious little to do...a waste of some considerable talent. While I can watch Cranford over and over (and have!), once was enough for the sequel. I couldn't help but feel cheated, I'm sorry to say.
