ArchivesPBS shows “look at a time and place by putting people in that environment.”
PBS’ Manor House, which continues with two more episodes tonight on PBS, exists “to look at a time and place by putting people in that environment to learn about it,” its executive producer tells the AP. Beth Hoppe says they “get a modern drama by looking at how the people cope with it.” Elsewhere, a reviewer calls the show “strangely addictive—a perfect blend of Survivor and Simon Schama, voyeurism and edification,” the Village Voice’s Joy Press writes. In Salon, Heather Havrilesky writes that the series is “a reality show about S/M under the pretense of illustrating life during the Edwardian era,” and argues that “the usual torture-them-until-they-crack strategy is in full effect.”
