This was a perfectly adequate costume drama. Not terribly engaging, and with little or no discernible connection to the Austin novel aside from the names of people and places. Overall not bad. Just meh.
The casting of Elizabeth Bennett though was shockingly poor. The characterization had none of the whit or charm of the Austin original. Dreadful, dreadful casting decision and writing.
I also come out not really caring about anyone or anything. The focus is fully on the least likable characters from the Austin novel who I'd just as well never heard from again. If you're looking for a reunion with old friends you'll be sorely disappointed.
