The most-streamed show in Netflix history finishes half a point ahead of “Succession” in our Round 3 voting. Considering how frequently the TV academy repeats winners (“The Emmys love reruns,” says panelist Glenn Whipp), that would seem to make the terrifically written HBO chronicle of terrible people being awful to each other the prohibitive favorite … but Red Light! The hugely successful Korean import “Squid Game” gets our panel of experts’ green light by the barest of margins. Three of the other series are in their freshman seasons and one (“Euphoria”) is in its sophomore year. In this ballyhooed field of water-cooler hits, only “Succession,” with its field-leading 25 nominations, is a previous winner. Shots are fired, tears fall, and love conquers all in this remarkable historical romance.If the show with the most nominations is the big fish (or water mammal), this fight is between the squid and the whale. When Charmaine discovers proof of Farrington's betrayal, he is forced to choose between friendship and patriotism. In this realistic tale of historical fiction brimming with wealth and uncertain allegiances, society's obligations draw them together, along with Miss Brooke's constant companion, the timid Miss Brenda Boswell. Without her father's permission for marriage, is Miss Broke ready to relinquish her privileged life for love? Her father, however, wants his daughter to marry for love, not money.
Miss Brooke's large dowry tempts both men.
Problematically, Charmaine's best friend, Marquis Anthony Farrington, is clandestinely helping fund the American Revolution. Her rescuer, Robert Anderson, Viscount Charmaine, is preoccupied with troubled finances, an ill father, and defense of the Crown. But rumors result, and Miss Brooke finds herself in the center of tawdry gossip. When villainy occurs, an unexpected hero comes to her aid. With proper manners and impeccable breeding, the beautiful Miss Alison Brooke should be the envy of London's 18th-century royal society.
