Title: watchable but deeply flawed- still fun
Product review: Watchable but takes enormous freedoms with the novel... so beware... preserved the themes but in a literal way which eliminates some of the interesting way the book is written... the newer Masterpiece version and even the movie do not do this nearly as much... perhaps the worst transgression is the failure to show the sisters love and friendship and instead making them at first representing sense and sensibility in a heavy handed way and thus in opposition and this is not how the book unfolds and is unpardonable... also we are cheated with a flimsy and very quick beginning and end which is, well, stupid of the screenwriter because we are not shown Edward's hidden charms and how they unfold to Elinor so that she falls in love with him... also, Edward himself has a bad tupee and was not quite attractive enough in charm or looks for the story to make sense... and to make a quick exit of the great ending is unforgivable... still worth a watch.
