I’m so excited for this tbh, the trailer looks amazing as does Matthew Goode lol. love the Tudor setting, Diana’s white ruffle gown looked beautiful

[sarahvma]

Yeah, if nothing else it's going to look absolutely incredible.

Matthew looks a bit like an angry turtle at certain angles but otherwise, hot.

What? Fucking January? It’s so not a January show it has a dark and misty aesthetic would fit October or November much better
But I’ll take it (finally)

Starting to think Matthew is a vampire irl because he’s aging so much better than all his English counterparts
So so fine

Originally it was due out in September/October and then I think Sky realized at the last second that they hadn't filmed anything for months and would have no new material for 2021 if they didn't space some stuff out.

Whatever, I'll take it. The difference between 2 years and 2 years 4 months is negligible at this point.

Matthew Goode stays young by minding his own business and being a dorky golf dad.

I mean I’m glad it’s finally here I was starting to think we’ll never get a second season and the trailer maker it look even more exciting than the first one I’m just saying that January as a month doesn’t fit the show’s aesthetic but yes I’m aware that’s like a minor problem in this long journey of actually getting here

He looks so good in that ridiculous costume! And the scruff!!

[sarahvma]

No, I agree. Part of the book takes place around that time period so maybe that's how they justify it? Whereas the first season was very fall-centric.

But whatever. It is what it is.

And yeah, they definitely knew that they were pandering to thirsty Matthew Goode fans and spared us all the puffy shorts and ruffs in favor of basically a leather daddy look. I'm not mad.

I enjoyed the books so much for what they were (the second book when they just happen to know and be friends with everyone famous in the past? LOL) but the show did not live up to it. It's so dull.

[sarahvma]

It seems very "you only love one or the other" because I thought the show was a ton of goofy fun but found the books a complete slog.

Fuck Theresa’s Aussie accent is NOT Fucking around damn

[walker_sarah]

ahhh fucking finally thought they already forgot about it

so damn excited
