Dunham16 A character named Amanda Price living in modern London is not unlike Jane Austen's Fanny Price in her novel MANSFIELD PARK. In this romantic fantasy she enters the milieu of another Austen novel- PRIDE AND PREJUDICE which does not follow the novel's storyboard and includes references to the other Austen novels among them NORTHANGER ABBEY, PERSUASION, EMMA and SENSE AND SENSIBILITY. Though well acted and edited the hodgepodge of an Austen related plot not following the novel it claims to mimic as well as the juxtaposition of eighteenth and twentieth century settings can be upsetting at times. Though each scene is fascinating and well done when excerpted the hodgepodge of the changing visual and the changing storyline from the novel may delight one viewer yet disappoint another.

He managed to make me sympathetic even though with the balance of the events mixed up the reasons Mr. Darcy goes from being a unsympathetic to sympathetic character are kind of gone. The concept is cool and I think the casting was spot on but I think that the redemption doesn't really happen. In the end it's just entertainment but it's fun, and Amanda is like most women who deserve to find their own Mr Darcy rather than marry someone who doesn't love them.

Corona Laura This is one of those series that could count as a guilty pleasure. It tailors to the needs of young women that look for romance as it's written in Jane Austen novels. Of course, reality (and reality in Jane Austen's time) is quite different. The series is funny, sometimes over the top. Jemima Rooper (Amanda Price) plays a character you dislike a first. I simply couldn't believe she'd be the one to upend Elizabeth Bennet. That she'd be good enough to take her place. But then suddenly you end up wanting her to win Darcy's hart.If you can suspend your disbelief for a little bit, just sit back and enjoy the show.

idunnyr I was looking forward to a fresh take on Pride and Prejudice. She how someone from our time would feel in between the characters we know and love. I cannot begin to express the very depths of my disappointment. They destroy Elizabeth Bennet in the first 5 minutes of the first episode. The woman on screen could look like her and bare her name but her character has nothing in common with Jane Austen's figment of mind. They then rampage through the story destroying every character after another. Some changes more forgivable than others but I did not feel that a person had wondered into Jane Austen's story and thus it was an insult to use the name.*Spoiler alert*The romance between Mr. Darcy and Amanda Price is so horribly badly written it's an insult to all love stories. The worst thing is that they think they are recreating some Elizabeth Bennet <-> Fitzwilliam Darcy romance. But they misunderstand the nature of that love gruesomely and dare suggest that love can solely base on hate and disgust.*Spoilers finished*The only reason they get 2 stars is that the actors do a fair job, casting and production was adequate and the story is reasonably well said even though the writing insults everything and everyone loyal to Jane Austen!
