Adapted from Ediwth Warton’s unfinished novel, “The Buccaneers” tells the story of several young American women who enter the marriage market between old English society and new American society, determined to go about the pursuit of love their own way, no matter what English customs say. Nan St. George (Kristine Froseth) doesn’t exactly have marriage on her mind until she meets first Guy Thwarte (Matthew Broome) and later Theo (Guy Remmers). A tense love triangle ensues, because it turns out Twarte and Theo are childhood friends.
Nan’s sister Jinny has her eyes on the prize (marrying a wealthy man), and their childhood friends the Elmsworth sisters also enter the debutante scene, taking all four of them on a trip to England to visit their fifth friend Conchita Closson (Alisha Boe), who weds Lord Richard Marable (Josh Dylan) at the beginning of the first episode.
The music is its own character in the Apple TV+ series, with both the score and the soundtrack complimenting the themes of the women’s lives.
