I also was surprised to find positive feedback on this series. As a huge Jane Austen fan I wanted to see this lesser known version of the story and found it for $3 online which should've been my first warning. It's terribly acted and just reeks of low-budget all around. I'm not saying a good film/series can't be made on a low budget but this ends up being like a badly produced amateur play rather than a mini-series. I usually see better from the BBC but maybe it's too old or fringey? I now own it (for $3) and will never, ever watch it again. If you like Jane Austen and/or the story of Emma, stick to the Gwyneth Paltrow version which despite it's brevity is a very good portrayal of the story.
