I was pleasantly surprised by this series. I have seen different versions of Pride and Prejudice and I have liked all of them for different reasons.When I say that it is better than I expected it's because I have become eskeptical over things that are praised too much. I tend to not like them as much as reviewers or critics or even friends rave over them. This however is in my opinion, very good.I recomend it to everyone who likes the book,works by Jane Austen , other versions of Pride and Prejudice and of course who likes Colin Firth (pretty good performance).
