drama.

And it's a really great, great premise.

It's kind of Pride and Prejudice, but it's not about any of the sisters that are always like the centre of attention in the billions of films and series that have been made about that great story.

And it's about

Mary, who's the forgotten sister, who is plain.

She's not sort of clever like Elizabeth.

She's not beautiful.

She's not young and wild like Lydia.

Like she's just Mary in the middle.

And it is all about her.

And it's such a gorgeous, gorgeous series.

I mean, it's kind of, it's beautiful popcorn in some ways, but the actor who plays Mary, who I hadn't encountered before, her name's Emma Broccoleri.

is just absolutely captures this sense of,

a sibling who is sort of smarter and more watchful than her siblings, totally used to being overlooked and who becomes an incredibly interesting observer as a result.

It's, yeah, and I mean when I say it's a bit popcorn-y, it's popcorn-y in a good way.

It's popcorn-y in a satisfying way.

It's sort of like a drama, it's a kind of comedy of manners sort of thing.

I mean there are kind of comedic moments and it's, you know, it's a classy soap.

It's kind of Bridgerton only, less sort of rutting and slightly more elevated, that's what I would say.

That's great.
