I had been warned by the Brits that they were disappointed. Still, it's Jane Austen, how badly could they screw that up?
It's good to have media in different ways for different tastes...but not for me. It felt off. Then, there were Behind the Scenes after each episode and one of the actors referred to the scriptwriter as "the perfect man for the job" of writing an Austen series.
*facepalm*
I think the perfect writer would have been a woman and I know his history which just makes it sadder. It's going to color any Austen adaptation I watch from now on, like is Clueless and Sense & Sensibility (1995) the only solely female written adaptations?
This "perfect" writer in a later segment talked about how the sexual attraction was what made Pride and Prejudice so fun, that Darcy was immediately sexually attracted to Elizabeth?
Excuse me? He found her striking especially her eyes...that doesn't mean he wants to fuck her in the first available empty room, eww.
Plus, I hate when new series just assume they're getting a second series before it's confirmed and have a huge, stupid cliffhanger.
P.S. I don't care anymore but my mom came up with her own ending where Charlotte doesn't end up with any Parker.
