Don't see it as Pride and Prejudice

Basically, didn't want to let go of anything too P&P, so read it.
In fact, such a subject is very difficult, and I admire the courage of the BBC. But anyway, it's just a miniseries.
My own favourite version of P&P is the BBC '95 miniseries version.
Each character attaches great importance to the original, but more flesh and blood than the original. I love the details of MR.DARCY's selection of clothes to meet Elizabeth.
But this is not P&P after all. In such a re-written script, if everything is the same as the original, is it necessary to shoot?
I think the best thing about it is that it surprises the audience with unexpected surprises in something very familiar.
Although I think Mrs.Bennet's performance is not enough tension, and Lydia is too quiet, she can be a little more exaggerated.
But overall, this drama really satisfies the fantasy of a P&P fan like me, and it also has a good sense of freshness. Although it would be better if there were more interactions between the two protagonists.
As far as acting is concerned, the 1995 version of Mr. Darcy is really good, this one is inferior.

    The plot should be okay, but when I see the heroine, I hope Mrs Bennet turns into Song Jiang and kills her. I don't understand how the heroine and Darcy fell in love, Nima didn't explain it at all! Love Jane, Wickham and Caroline Bingley. Also, this show is actually hacking Darcy! ! ! (Hope to shoot the second season: "Elizabeth's London Adventure"~)

Lost in Austen quotes

  • Amanda Price: [to Elizabeth through the door] Collins. On the page, OK, he's pretty bad. In the flesh, he's all-time king of the mingers!

  • Mr. Wickham: Miss Price, I fear that your life with Mr. Collins may be short of gaeity. If you find yourself nonplussed by the anticipated pleasures of married life, call upon me and I shall redress the deficit.

    Amanda Price: Full marks for trying, George, but I wouldn't have my deficit redressed by you if you were the last man on earth.
