quick review
I think I adore Lost in Austen.
It's doing quite an impressive job at having us in the story - just exactly as it does for Amanda. It's the first time I actually (temporarily I'm sure!) despise Darcy, and want Amanda to knock the boots with Wickham! And it's got an incredible casting, too. I initially thought their Darcy was no Colin Firth, but I think it may actually be the best Darcy to date. Just note how you are finding him terribly blank and repressed, and mark your word - I'm confident that by the end of the series we'll all find him the best man on earth! Because what's happening is just us having to take each and every step Lizzie went through in the book.
Seriously, when I thought the first episode had an average writing, I have to say it's getting more and more brilliant each passing minute. The writers nailed the characters. Watching that show is like getting the deleted scenes that Austen herself cut out of her book in terms of character portrayal. It's supremely refreshing!
