BritBox's series 'Outrageous' draws inspiration from the life of the Mitford sisters, who epitomized the extravagance and eccentricity of the British aristocracy in the 1930s. Unlike the Bennet family in Jane Austen's works, the Mitfords lived during a time of severe political tension, grappling with the rise of communism and fascism. The show intricately weaves their individual personalities and political beliefs into the larger narrative of societal conflict, highlighting the contrast between the rich elite and the struggling masses during an economically tumultuous period.
The Mitford sisters, showcasing aristocratic eccentricity and political diversity from communism to Nazism, reflect the societal divides of their era, much like today's celebrity culture.
Set against the backdrop of the 1930s' economic instability, the Mitford family navigates societal pressures, scandals, and their diverse political interests reminiscent of today's social sentiments.
