Overview
Widow Dashwood and her three unmarried daughters, Elinor, Marianne and Margaret, inherit only a tiny allowance. So they move out of their grand Sussex home to a more modest cottage in Devonshire. There, the prevailing ambition is to find suitable husbands for the girls. With help from wealthy neighbor Sir John Middleton, suitors for Elinor and Marianne are soon found, but not landed. They include dashing Willoughby, future vicar Edward Ferrars and retired colonial gentleman Colonel Brandon.

Edward is more perfect than perfect. And he looks so good with those romantic curls. I would have fallen in love with him myself, even though Dan Stevens didn't cause any trepidation in "Downton Abbey."
How beautiful Devonshire is! Well, or not Devonshire, but the place where the landscapes were filmed is certainly great)))
Mariana is infuriating. Sir John and his family are so kind to them, so welcoming, and she still turns her nose up and everything is wrong with her. Kapets. Moreover, I don't see anything like that in their behavior.
Colonel Brandon is not handsome, and he doesn't even look 35, he looks 40, but he's so charming, how could you trade him for someone as dirty as Willoughby...?
The Steele sisters are funny)) And I am so touched by Lucy's spontaneity and exaltation...) And Eleanor's face when she hears about Edward's engagement is simply priceless) The actress is very good.
Willoughby -- that was to be expected. I think it was clear to any fool, except Mariana, who didn't want to listen to anyone.
But in this version he is also very good, and the actor is very handsome)))
Of course, there are slight differences in the characters in the film adaptation and the book: Edward is not as shy as in the book, Mrs. Dashwood's mother is not as stupid and emotional (as I imagined her to be), Willoughby was more friendly to the entire Dashwood family in the book.
but!
It didn't spoil it at all, but on the contrary, it decorated the film adaptation! There are so many Margarets here, unlike Roman, which I really liked. The film showed at least some hints of Marianne's love for the colonel, which was also very encouraging (and not just gratitude and respect at the beginning)! Willoughby's "remorse" was a little different. Elinor and Marianne were passed perfectly! And very beautiful landscapes are, of course, a huge plus.
In general, the film adaptation turned out to be pretty good! I like this series more than the Kate Winslet movie.
