Mary Bennet is the awkward middle daughter of a family with no male heir, ignored by her mother while her sisters draw the suitors. Tired of waiting, she sets out to make her own life.
Starring Ella Bruccoleri, Indira Varma, Ruth Jones
Austen readers who always felt closer to Mary than to Lizzy are looked after here; it is warm and funny, with a little melancholy underneath. Mary is fitted with spectacles so she can read more, and her mother frets about it. Ella Bruccoleri plays her awkwardness through posture and face, and Richard E. Grant is lovely in support.
It follows one continuing story, so watch in order; the first three episodes arrived together and the rest came out weekly.
