Best in Show: Lizzie Bennet Diaries

Feb 27,2013

Once there was a girl.

She was completely into Pride and Prejudice, owning every edition of P&P on the screen and the need to purchase every reminagined cover. Perfectly normal, right?

But then there was a new fangled thing called the Lizzie Bennet Diaries and this girl put her foot down. She had sat through the Bollywood P&P (Bride & Prejudice), read the high school P&P (Prom & Prejudice) and even owned the Dario Martinelli scoring from the 2005 film....(maybe she's not normal) but a web version? Really?

She resisted. For a long time.

And then she watched episode one. And before she knew it she had caught up on 70+ episodes over two days and was suffering from a blessed narrative overload.

She now wants you to become equally enarmoured with the snarky Lizzie, effervescent Lydia and modest Jane.*
