PRIDE AND PREJUDICE transports viewers to Georgian England, where affairs of the heart are an exquisite game, and marriage the ultimate prize. But Elizabeth Bennet spirited, independent, and one of five unmarried sisters is determined to play by her own rules and wed for love, not money or privilege. Will her romantic sparring with the mysterious and arrogant Darcy end in misfortune--or will love's true nature prevail? (official distributor synopsis)

An absolutely faithful adaptation. And that’s the problem; it’s too true an illustration of the book that it’s more like an audiobook where one actor reads you the entire thing. All fifty chapters one after another. Only here as a bonus it’s in motion picture form with a brilliant cast. Apart from that sigh, I can’t fault it. The acting performances couldn’t have been better, the irony more ironic and the sparks flying between Lizzy and Mr. Darcy couldn’t more sparkling. P.S.: Must be seen in the delightful original English language version!

Perhaps the best thing about the whole series is its reception, the impact Colin Firth made on the world as Darcy, and of course the quality of the adaptation because novels often suffer if they are to become a film, but just as often they mature if they can be turned into a miniseries. It is also useful to know the series for other viewings, such as Austenland or Bride and Prejudice. #BBC
