Thanks for bumping this up, jonri. I was wondering if anyone else besides me finished it.

At first I’d hoped the series was deliberately upsetting Austen conventions to make some sort of comment on something. Now I think it was just unsuccessfully bad.

It is beyond me how someone with seemingly so much knowledge of Austen, who has made successful film adaptations, created this series.

Wardrobe and setting were lovely, however.
