"The Buccaneers," an Apple TV Plus show, is a modern take on Edith Wharton’s unfinished novel, following a group of New York debutantes in 1870s London. The eight-episode first season, released in 2023, blends period drama with contemporary themes, earning a 93% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes. Critics praise its ensemble cast, character development, and deep exploration of societal issues, though some find it historically inaccurate.
