I think Lost in Austen sets out basically to be good entertainment, and that - if one enjoys what it is trying to do - achieves it
I am willing to agree to disagree, but I'm not willing to agree to anything else! I thought it sucked rocks.
What I hate is something that bills itself as a straight adaptation that is simply doing bonnets-by-numbers
I hate that, too. They ought to be a law that people are no allowed to adapt Jane Austen unless they're Emma Thompson, and even then everything better than S&S is Hands Off.
