Tumblr crosspost (10 March 2020)

An anon asked:

Have you watched Sense & Sensibility 2008 miniseries? If yes, what do you think of it?

I replied:

I haven’t! S&S is not a fave as Austen goes, and the miniseries seemed more engaged with the 90s S&S than the book in any case, so I didn’t see much reason to watch.

(Especially given my passionate hatred of Andrew Davies, lol)

I may have said this on Tumblr at some point but this is exactly the vibe I got from it. It does some of its own things, but it borrows a lot from Ang Lee's, and at that point, we can just watch Ang Lee's.

Exactly!
