u/Either-Ticket-9238

I’m watching this on Britbox now and had highly anticipated it, but I’m a little turned off by how many of the characters are imbued with a meanspiritedness that wasn’t in the original Pride & Prejudice imo.

Mrs. Bennett, Charlotte, even Lizzie have a snide energy in their behavior and speech that takes me out of a universe I’ve loved so much for its bucolic energy and endearing characters (outside of the Bingley sisters and Whickam of course).

Thoughts?
