I think Shanann was motivated by multiple factors.
She was heavily involved in several different multi level marketing programs. She was currently deep into Thrive (the vitamin patches), but had also tried her hand at Amway, ItWorks!, LulaRoe, Younique, Poonique, Thirty One, Origami Owl, and probably others, too.

MLMs encourage reps to use social media to recruit new members, and to”build their personal brand.” Shanann’s personal brand was all those vids of her, the kids, Chris, outings, trips, etc. It seems like they lived their lives more on social media than living just to live. It really looks like she got addicted to posting it all online, and couldn’t stop. So much of it looked staged for SM. Pretty soon SM became her life.
It seems like Shanann needed to feel that her life was good enough to share online (this made her feel validated), so even if aspects of her life fell short, she artificially staged it to make it seem better than it was.
Very sad.
I think it might be due to there being so much footage available. The police all wore body cams, plus there was security camera footage, not to mention that the wife was obsessed with posting every moment of their lives on social media.
I agree! He’s an octogenarian, for crying out loud. People are acting like aging is something bad that he somehow should have prevented. He’s 80! Aging isn’t something you call people out for. They’re acting like they’re blaming him for committing something heinous.
Annis did so many period dramas on tv from the 70s to the present. In addition to those you’ve mentioned, she was in Madame Bovary, Cranford, Wives and Daughters, Home Fires, Jane Eyre, Tommy and Tuppence Partners in Crime, etc.
lol no, (Did you take ambien or something, lol.). ;-)
Timothy Dalton, I just can’t see it; he is too much the same type as Chamberlain. Ditto Anthony Andrews.
In my head, I have pictured Blackthorne as Richard Burton when he played Petruchio in Zefferelli’s The Taming of the Shrew.
English actors who were playing “manly” roles on tv in that period:
Stuart Wilson — virtually unknown to US network tv viewers, but definitely a name among fans of PBS’ Masterpiece Theatre.
Patrick Stewart — had recently played Sejanus, a roman soldier and womanizer in I, Claudius.
Christopher Cazenove — too unknown, at that time, to US audiences
Charles Dance — also too unknown

No, I still enjoy it immensely. Keep ‘em coming, I say.
Not at all. It’s pretty common in television. The sets are probably used in other programs, too. And the costumes are all hired from stock.
Imo a new adaptation of a literary work isn’t messing with a classic. By that standard, no one should ever stage a play revival.
It’s not like netflix wanted to drop it. They have programs for a limited run. Most brit shows are only temporary on netflix because they’re also going to be on amazon for a limited run, and Acorn TV, and BritBox. In this case, LTIH aired on PBS and streamed on the PBS app for a limited time before moving to one of the other aforementioned apps.
lol
Painful, wasn’t it!
Your first sentence — exactly! That used to drive me crazy. I can only imagine how the sisters (head nurses) would have dealt with her if she’d acted like that in a British Army field hospital. They would have broken it out of her, for sure.
I don’t buy the theory that traveling the world with her archaeologists uncle would have made her woke. He was a white man stealing (figuratively) the cultural and historical treasures of other countries. All the artifacts unearthed by western white men and now owned by western museums are a very controversial topic. Those Practices were the opposite of woke.

He totally looks like Prince Philip
“Survivors, particularly Kaylee and I, endured repeated attacks by MSU and USAG leadership. A reporter told me that, behind closed doors, MSU spokesman Jason Cody had said I was in this for the money. Reporters also found private emails between John Engler and leaders at MSU, speculating that I’d “manipulated” survivors for monetary kickbacks.[39] At about the same time, I received a message from Kaylee and her mom: Had I met with John Engler? During a private meeting, Engler asked Kaylee to tell him how much money she wanted. Would $250,000 be enough? When Kaylee told him she was looking for accountability and reform, not a payout, he told her she should tell him how much she wanted because I’d met with him and demanded a specific dollar amount.[40] I was shocked as I read Kaylee’s account of their conversation, and I told her the truth: I had never met with him and certainly never demanded money. Publicly Engler said simply that his “interpretation and memories” of the meeting differed from theirs.[41] Yet MSU suggested in internal emails that Kaylee had been spreading “false news,” and implied that survivors were willing to say anything for money “But when we entered mediation a short time later, MSU’s first offer matched the exact number Kaylee publicly reported Engler had offered her in their meeting.”
“We discovered that, while MSU was refusing to meet with survivors, they’d paid hundreds of thousands of dollars to PR firms to monitor survivors’ social media accounts.[43] Survivors told me that both MSU and USAG hired private investigators—not to find out what allowed Larry to abuse for decades, but rather to track and discredit his victims. One woman told me her past boyfriends had been contacted, another that her identity as a survivor had been disclosed to her boss by a private investigator, and a third told me that an investigator had threatened her with a subpoena if she refused to disclose the names of other victims. (A private investigator has no such power.)”

“Other high-ranking officials at MSU resigned without acknowledging any failures, but many of the employees who were involved remained employed without sanctions. Among these were the athletic trainers who were told of Larry’s abuse; the Title IX coordinators who first cleared him; and the MSU police detective who did not interview any outside medical expert during the 2014 investigation of Larry, despite a request from the county prosecutor.[38] Several employees received promotions. MSU has yet to answer the questions I posed in my impact statement, or admit even one misstep. At the time of this writing, they have still refused to allow investigators to evaluate any failures beyond criminal failures, though most of what allowed Larry to abuse for decades wasn’t illegal.”
