Title: A Huge Disappointment
Review: After thoroughly enjoying the first Cranford with all its charm and appeal, this subsequent series was a great disappointment. With its splendid pedigree of actors retained, there is no lack of effort on their part but even the excellent cast cannot not fix a script/direction that is sorely lacking in most all aspects and one which renders every situation as contrived and insipid. It would have been wonderful to experience a continuation of all the heartwarming aspects of the first series but this particular rendition falls dismally short.
