And I am so disgusted by Mr. Trenchard! What a selfish husband and parent. The injustice of the early episodes makes me so upset, how he failed his daughter and treated his wife. Great show tho, and Mrs. Trenchard is perfectly embodied.
I’m watching this on Britbox now and had highly anticipated it, but I’m a little turned off by how many of the characters are imbued with a meanspiritedness that wasn’t in the original Pride & Prejudice imo.
Mrs. Bennett, Charlotte, even Lizzie have a snide energy in their behavior and speech that takes me out of a universe I’ve loved so much for its bucolic energy and endearing characters (outside of the Bingley sisters and Whickam of course).
Thoughts?
