'The Buccaneers' director Susanna White on the Apple TV+ drama, Taylor Swift, 'Bridgerton' and plans for her own feature film.
Edith Wharton's last (unfinished) novel of American girls in England is occasionally visible in this souped-up adaptation premiering Wednesday on Apple TV+.
Apple's adaptation of Wharton's final novel prioritizes Rhimesian period romance over the author's surgical dissections of social mores.
Although “The Buccaneers” comes with the literary pedigree of being based on Edith Wharton’s last, unfinished novel, the series so desperately wants to emulate “Bridgerton” that it almost makes your teeth ache, down to the mix of corsets and contemporary music. The result is a mildly watchable Apple TV+ series that proves, to quote Fred Allen, imitation is the sincerest form of streaming, too.
Based on Edith Wharton’s final novel, AppleTV+'s "The Buccaneers" is a 19th century romance drama following five American ladies drawn to England.
