Ma sounding like a modern-day parenting manual. This new series is full of contemporary angst and grating moralising. The original series and books are very much laid back, laissez-faire, rural romping and hedonism.

What does bother me is jamming 2020s morals and mores into a 1950s setting.

It is anachronistic but that doesn't particularly bother me, the problem is more that the script sounds "written by white people" and is very heavy-handed with how it manages that aspect. A lot of reviewers have commented on the anachronistic racial diversity. I don't really understand the motivation behind this (extremely loose) adaptation of HE Bates' novels.
