Part of the current wave of titles people are actually watching, Lady Chatterley earns its spot. Lady Chatterley takes its time building the world its characters inhabit, and the patience pays off. After a crippling injury leaves her husband impotent, Lady Chatterly is torn between her love for her husband and her physical desires. With her husband's consent, she seeks out other means of fulfilling her needs. Joely Richardson and Sean Bean lead a cast that brings real weight to the material. It was aired in 1993. Lady Chatterley resists tidy resolutions in a way that respects how messy real consequences actually are. It knows exactly what it is, and does not try to be anything else.

For anyone looking for storytelling that takes its characters seriously, Lady Chatterley delivers. Viewers who responded to Sanditon will find a lot to like here too.
