I watched this miniseries adaptation of the Jane Austen classic many years ago and liked it just fine, and found it to be entertaining when watching it again recently. The actors do a credible job and the writing seems true to the novel.
The production does feel dated now, perhaps not aging quite as well as the content. The overall look of it not as vivid as the more recent version from 2007. It also feels a little restrained, not dramatic enough to jump off the screen and grab the viewer. But it is a product of its time and of the BBC’s treatments of Austen’s novels. I feel like I should watch the later version now to see if it is indeed more energetic as I remember it in comparison.
