Persuasion

Season 1 Episode 1: Part One

The Napoleonic Wars are over and Sir Walter Elliot, a vain baronet, facing financial ruin due to extravagant spending, is persuaded by his friend Mr. Shepherd and Anne’s mentor Lady Russell to lease Kellynch Hall to Admiral Croft. Anne Elliot reflects on her past decision - eight years prior - to break off her engagement to the then-poor Captain Wentworth, under Lady Russell’s persuasion.
