I am DEFINITELY an advocate of period dramas. And like many others, I've seen 'Pride and Prejudice' a few times before. I love seeing stories progress and thanks to P.D James, we have the opportunity to see Lizzie and Darcy's journey continue. Albeit turbulently.. 'Death Comes to Pemberley' has been written with respect and keeps audiences on their toes. I think it would warm Austen's heart to know that her work has inspired others. Whilst keeping true to its original themes and characters. My only criticism would be the casting choices. I'm still not convinced by James Fleets performance.
He certainly isn't my first choice as Mr Bennett, but he was okay.. Maybe I've watched 'the Vicar of Dibley' too much?! Overall, I would highly recommend this adaptation. And it's definitely worth a rewatch.
