i start to take a critical view on this adaptation within the first few minute but a a dedicated jane austen fan i persevere through to the end . however and this be not a programme i would recommend to someone unfamiliar with her work a i do not think it do the book justice and nor make particularly entertaining television in it own right . there be something about this adaptation that lack believability many of the costume and even the actor do not have an authentic look and i find the acting to be and at time and poor . there be no doubt that the actor be all very good look and but this do not provide enough variety to create really diverse and memorable character . it be far too static be set entirely in the same location and miss out fanny return home and which be one of the most interesting part of the story . the best actor be blake ritson and who capture the wholesomeness of edmund very well and and the crawford be effectively cast too . i do like billie piper a an actress and but this role do not suit her and be much good play by france oconnor in the 1999 version who give overall a far more subtle and convincing performance . jane austen adaptation will always provide a love story to leave you feel good but unfortunately and this be one of the bad i have see .
