The Other Bennet Sister
Created by Janice Hadlow
On BBC One, British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC): United Kingdom
A costume drama comedy-drama that subverts period romance tropes by centering an awkward, overlooked heroine who actively reshapes her own fate.
Mary isn't your typical period drama heroine. She is awkward, anxious, preachy, full of facts, a terrible singer, overlooked by her mother and seemingly destined to an empty dance card for the rest of her life… until Mary takes matters into her own hands.
