Typical Hollyweird casting with a clipped hair queer in Corrin playing Elizabeth Bennett, the Bingleys are black., and to round it off every size is beautiful whale playing Kitty Bennett. "Pride, Prejudice, and Zombies" had a much better cast than this Netflix **** show for the "modern audience".

[C19fan]

Just for the record the Colin Firth mini-series is the definitive version not the movie.

[nickcarraway]

You do know there are other versions than just those three. The BBC did it at least in 1967 and 1980. And there was a movie with Greer Garson and Lawrence Olivier

[nickcarraway]

I think the definitive version is reading the book.

By the way, Jane Austen was one of the two most ultraconservative fiction writers of all time.

[McCarthysGhost]

Embarrassed to say that I’ve seen that numerous times. It is just too well done. Don’t tell anybody.

[C19fan]

Yes I have seen the 1980 and Garson/Olivier version. The Garson version is weird because the setting is more Early Victorian than Regency. Aldous Huxley wrote the screenplay.

[af_vet_1981]

No. Just no.

[Sirius Lee]

Netflix is pure poison.

[rarestia]

Yeah. There were so many blacks around Jane Austen I’m sure she wanted to be diverse and inclusive in her storytelling. That was definitely a priority in 18th century British literature.

A lot of their crap is grimier Hallmark tripe...not to mention stupid and insulting...

[JewishRighter]

100%

[quilterdebbie]

Yet another bit of “entertainment” that I will never waste my time watching.

[quilterdebbie]

I love Jane Austen. About 20 years ago, I read all of her books.

[joshua c]

i always thought

Sense and Sensibility was a better story

[dfwgator]

Waiting for this one...

[nopardons]

BTTT

[krug]

I am completely surprised that the characters aren’t black or purple haired....that’s what I expected to see.

[MayflowerMadam]

“I am completely surprised that the characters aren’t black “

Did you see all the pics?

[nikos1121]

tell me you’re kidding

[GingisK]

I thought Nicklaus Cage was going to get that role.
