Adapting a book for a TV show or movie means some readers are sure to be disappointed (take, for instance, Emerald Fennell’s controversial Wuthering Heights). The BBC’s The Other Bennet Sister is no exception. AdvertisementPersonally, I’ve never seen that as much of an insult (what are Clueless or Bridget Jones if not very well-done Austen fan fictions?). If anything, though it has its flaws, I think The Other Bennet Sister is a fun, highly watchable series that fits as neatly into the book’s premise as a mid-2020s TV show can. The rivalry with Caroline Bingley also echoes Lizzie’s role in the original novel,” she said.
