Thanks for the sympathy! ♥ TV FEELS. The best feels of all, imo! I will check it out soon!
My very favourite thing about Darcy is his social awkwardness - this is not the swoonworthy hero of your dreams ladies - and this version is capturing that very nicely, even with so very little on-screen Darcy (thanks Jane!Darcy).
I KNOW! It's delightful! The robot jokes just make that work, too!
And my other favourite thing about this story is that it's fundamentally about Lizzie misinterpreting things and learning to perceive things in a different way. My favourite line in the book is "Until that moment I never knew myself", and I'm so, so happy with this series' interpretation of Lizzie as an unreliable narrator of her own life, and how it looks like she is going to learn and grow
YES YES YES!
I'm a moderate Austen fan--I like her very much but she's not one of my favorite writers or anything like that. But this is reminding me of why I do really like her: her sense of humor and her insight into people. Both of those are played up in beautiful ways in this adaptation.
