About this show

From PBS and MASTERPIECE MYSTERY! - It is the eve of the Darcys’ annual ball at their magnificent Pemberley estate. Darcy and Elizabeth, now six years married, are relaxing with their guests after supper when the festivities are brought to an abrupt halt. A scream calls them to the window and a hysterical Lydia Wickham tumbles out of a carriage shrieking, “Murder!” What follows is the somber discovery of a dead man in Pemberley woods, a brother accused of murder, and the beginning of a nightmare that will threaten to engulf Pemberley and all the Darcys hold dear. Adapted from P.D. James’ clever whodunit, this delicious homage to Jane Austen’s beloved Pride and Prejudice stars Anna Maxwell Martin (Bleak House), Matthew Rhys (The Americans), Matthew Goode (The Good Wife), and Jenna Coleman (Doctor Who). Elizabeth and Darcy never knew marriage would be like this!

The only thing that could have made it better is if they would have used the same actors from Pride and Prejudice circa 1995. It was, after all, the best version ever!

Thus is fantastic! I f you love all things Jane Austen then you will love this series. It may take a few minutes to get used to the different actors and actresses that play the main characters from whichever Pride & Prejudice movie you love best but you will love this just as much and it will leave you wanting another series. Why don't they do more of these series? They are a guaranteed success.
