Focus
Although there are occasional glimpses of the underlying tensions involved with class and behaviour, upbringing and status, the series generally focuses on the obvious for its humour, for example the way in which Pelagia dresses and behaves betrays her origins and often the upper-class locals look down on her ways.
Ratings
The first season averaged a 35% rating and the second, with a lot of changes (writer, cast etc.), 22%.
