That's right, 2.5 children and a White Picket Fence.
If you are unfamiliar with this term, let me introduce to you one of the best things (i believe) the world has ever witnessed: The Lizzie Bennet Diaries. Now, many people who know me are aware of my mild obsession with anything related to Jane Austen. LBD is based on Pride & Prejudice, and consists of 100 mini-episodes (plus extras and Q&As!) produced by Pemberley Digital - which is, itself, a play on Austen. LOVE. AT. FIRST. WATCH.
Even if you're not Austen's biggest fan, take a peek at the first episodes of the Lizzie Bennet Diaries. Luckily, all 100 episodes + bonus content is available in a playlist right from the YouTube Channel which means that if - when - you get hooked, it's all right there!
One of the greatest parts of LBD is Pemberley Digital's innate ability to adapt every Pride & Prejudice character to modern day. If you've read the novel, you'll probably be able to detect even the smallest details in the current-era setting - but even if you haven't, it's still an entertaining watch! There's the sibling rivalries, parental problems, and of course, Mr. [Fitz]William Darcy.
Just watch.
If you find yourself hooked just like I did, fear not! Pemberley Digital is releasing a sequel to the The Secret Diary of Lizzie Bennet centered around Lizzie's little sister, Lydia... and it's slated for release next year!
Pemberley Digital also has another Jane Austen novel, Emma, airing on their main channel called Emma Approved. I'll admit that it took me almost 40 episodes to really be interested in the adaption, but I'm stuck on that one as well!
Let me know what you think of LBD, or if you're interested in Jane Austen at all... If you ever want to have an Austen-y chat, I'm your girl!
Keep not settling,
