Warning: SPOILERS for Sanditon Season 2, Episode 4
Colonel Francis Lennox (Tom Weston-Jones) and his soldiers acting as villains have made Sanditon season 2 great. Lennox and his regiment's arrival in Sanditon was initially a cause for celebration and the seaside resort town took pride in the British Army's presence. However, Lennox and his key personnel have behaved dishonorably, and the people of Sanditon have noticed. Best of all, the British Army has generated tension and given Sanditon season 2 greater stakes than before.
Sanditon season 1 didn't really have villains who threatened the entire town. Charlotte Heywood (Rose Williams) initially mistook the late Sidney Parker (Theo James) for a malicious person who made money off the slave trade. But after Miss Heywood realized she was mistaken about Sidney, they both began to act on their romantic feelings toward each other. Meanwhile, Sir Edward Denham (Jack Fox) and Clara Brereton (Lily Sakofsky) conspired to swindle Lady Denham (Anne Reid) out of her fortune while Esther Denham (Charlotte Spencer) cruelly rejected the romantic overtures of Lord Babington (Mark Spencer). But Esther turned out to be a better person than she behaved while Edward and Clara's treachery was exposed. For her part, Lady Denham isn't the nicest person in Sanditon by any means, but she's not a malevolent threat to the town and its people.
