About
"A ruthless social climber turned into a folk hero"
Adapted from Thackeray's sprawling novel, this miniseries follows Becky Sharp, a penniless but ferociously clever young woman clawing her way up through Regency-era British society by any means available. It's a satire dressed as a costume drama: gossipy, quick-witted, and unsentimental about class, marriage, and money. The pace moves briskly through parties, schemes, and battlefield backdrops of the Napoleonic wars, carried almost entirely by its lead performance. Expect wit and social bite rather than swoony romance, with a heroine who is charming precisely because she refuses to be virtuous.
a magnetic, morally slippery lead performance that makes ambition genuinely entertaining to watch.
you want a conventional, romantic period drama rather than a satire with a scheming antiheroine.
