s01e02 — Episode 2

"You look great, Lizzie. You'll never be as beautiful as your sister Jane, but you're really good today.

And the Mother of the Year award goes to Mrs. Bennett.

Still, I expected something different from the scene of the proposal and from Daddy's reaction. A favorite phrase in the book, after all.

This episode already looked more lively than the first one!
Beautiful surroundings, music.

I can't help feeling that Jennifer Elle (Lizzie) looks like a younger version of Meryl Streep, they have something in common.

Beautiful scene of Lizzie's rejection.

How funny it was to watch how quickly the rumors spread!
As soon as Lizzie finds out that Darcy is a bad person and has taken away poor Wickham's way of earning a piece of bread, she immediately retells the story to her sister Jane. Then she tells it to her friend Charlotte Lucas at the ball. Lizzie quarrels with Darcy while they are dancing, but Darcy would not spread the fact that Lizzie met Wickham, and nevertheless, after dancing, Miss Bingley rushes to tell Lizzie "out of great friendship" that Wickham should not be trusted. If it wasn't Darcy who told her, it must have been Mr. Bingley, who was clearly being questioned by a worried Jane (who later confirms that Mr. Bingley also heard something bad about Wickham, although she doesn't know the details).

I'm sorry, but these are absolutely disgustingly well-mannered girls. I'm already infuriated by the little sisters who are always laughing at the wrong topic. They looked like they'd been hit all over their heads.
I decided to check out the famous film adaptation

Mr. Collins is such a misunderstanding))

It's a great series!

Yes, the priest-relative is really weird. It's really strange that my husband didn't warn me about his arrival in advance. Apparently, he intends to woo one of his cousins, and that's partly why he came?
This priest loves to flatter us very much and apparently loves wealth very much, since he constantly talks about the patroness's property. By the way, conveniently Lizzie and her boyfriend got rid of him and Cain by his patroness. 😆
It was strange, but he said that he would come, that Darcy's presence would not make him leave or hide.…
Did she sing that badly? 🤔
What a tactless mother. He doesn't seem to be talking about his daughters. Or as if he's trying to sell the property at a good price...😒
Was it impossible to calm your conscience by writing a statement or something like that, in the event of their father's death, you give their house to you for their gratuitous use?
"If you refuse, your mother will stop seeing you, and if you agree, then I will refuse" 😂 Good man, their father

It amuses me how in those days people offered marriage to girls they didn't know at all. So you saw 5 sisters, you wanted to marry the eldest, but she was busy, you urgently switched to the younger one, and when she refused (after a week of dating or whatever), you were terribly offended? Even if marriages were often arranged, shouldn't people at least get to know each other better, like each other, even if it's not love at all and not falling in love.. Those were strange times :))

That's how I imagined Mr. Collins, that's what a "morel" is.

It is impossible not to die of shame with such a mother, who, moreover, by her behavior, will scare away any adequate man from her daughters, etc.

I risk completely destroying my rating on the site by saying that I still like the film adaptation with Keira Knightley better, it's very beautiful. But there's nothing to catch your eye on.
But the actors are great and really infuriating, I must give them their due. I'll keep watching, maybe I'll understand why everyone is so excited.

The mother is simply disgusting! I understand when she's looking for a rich husband: money, money, money, etc., it was important in those days, but Collins? He's disgusting, not with money, etc., i.e. a mother doesn't give a shit about her daughter, I would still understand if I were rich and money would be important to my mother, as in the Bingley story, but no, there are only disadvantages..
