If I really love the 90’s Pride and Prejudice series, what else might I like?

I need something to binge. I’ve got Netflix, Amazon Prime and some Sky channels and On Demand stuff through Virgin Media.

Any suggestions?

Thank you - I've ordered and now fully expect my original copy to show up!

A Room with a View with Helena BC
The 1997ish version of Rebecca with Charles Dance and Emilia Fox

That version of P&P is my ultimate comfort viewing, but when things get really bad, it’s accompanied by North and South, Emma Thompson’s S&S, and the Jane Eyre from about 2005.

And then when things get tough I read Jane Eyre and P&P.

Interested in this thread?

Persuasion, the Sally Hawkins version.

Love and Friendship is good.

I quite like the Greer Larson Pride and Prejudice version even if it doesn't stick to the plot in bits. It's better than the recent film anyway!

I couldn't get into Bridgerton at all, it was funny in bits but Phoebe (?) was like a hen left out in the rain.

Much Ado about Nothing and Henry 5th with Kenneth Branagh

The only thing that's actually on Netflix that I can think of is Lupin, but make sure you keep the French voices and use English subtitles.

Some great ideas here.
Cranford is really good
A Very English Scandal is fab if you don't mind a mid 20th century period drama

Howard's End from the 90s is just wonderful

ZittiEBuoni · 11/06/2021 22:19

YesToThis, Nigel Hawthorne is so good in it The venom of his 'SLOPE'! Grin Also Geraldine McEwan terrifying and majestic as Mrs Proudie.

sweetheartyparty · 11/06/2021 22:20

I second Persuasion, all versions I have seen were really good.
Also love Jane Eyre with Ruth Wilson.

ZittiEBuoni · 11/06/2021 22:20

YesToThis And Susan Hampshire's absolute grifter, having everyone run around with sofas for her to lie on in her million-frilled gowns Grin.

Sorry. I really adore this series.
