Watched all six episodes in one sitting. Absolutely loved it! Just as timeless and superb as the beautiful novel from whence it came. So faithful to Jane's text, whilst including believable additions in dialogue and in setting. Fantastic! And Colin Firth's performance! The affection and growing love in his eyes conveyed with no dialogue whatsoever. Ehle's "fine eyes" and witty delivery make her THE Elizabeth Bennet in picture form. Love this to pieces, and will watch it many times, just like I will re-read the book again.

I LOVE this interpretation of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice. At first I didn't really like the actors but after a few minutes I fell in love with them, especially Mr. Darcy. I think Collin Firth did an amazing job of playing a proud and conflicted Mr. Darcy and made me feel all the emotions that Elizabeth did. I hated him even though he was good looking and rich but then I grew to love him; just wish they would have expanded the ending to more than a tiny first kiss. Jennifer Ehle did a great job of playing a beautiful but not "extraordinary" beauty although sadly I think she was way prettier than the actress that played Jane Bennet. Hated the mother and Lydia but I guess that was the point right? Overall I loved the film and would watch over and over again.

I am not exaggerating by awarding this series with 10/10. In ,y opinion, the BBC 90s version will always be the only one matching the beauty of the novel. Colin Firth's interpretation of Darcy has ever since been unreachable and both him and Jennifer Ehle have followed successful career paths afterwards. This lovely costume drama consists of 6 episodes à 50 minutes, so it's quite possible to finish the series within one weekend ;D Another great advantage of this adaptation is its loyalty to the source text. Not only classic quotes have been included; the dialogues really stick to the original. So, if you haven't watched that version yet, you really can't consider yourself a Jane Austen yet alone a Pride and Prejudice fan!

Like others here, I'm writing out of a love of the novel and a sheer amazement that it was finally produced in faithful manner, with enough drama and TIME spent in the story, and fabulous acting to do justice to Jane Austen's towering achievement. It's almost pointless to add my 10-star review to the others, many more insightful than mine, but I cannot help myself. This is the epitome of television adaptation, accomplishing what a single movie (think Keira Knightly, or even Laurence Olivier) could not. It did two extra things - Colin Firth brought Darcy to life as he deserved in the novel, and it introduced us to the refined (and beautiful) talents of Jennifer Ehle. I have followed both their careers ever since watching this. This series is one for the ages, an Elizabethan counterpart to how Breaking Bad documents our own uglier, tortured age.
