Pride and Prejudice
Created by Dolly Alderton
On Netflix
A period romance miniseries centered on wit, social observation, and the gradual mutual recognition between two misunderstood people navigating marriage, class, and self-knowledge in Regency England.
Elizabeth Bennet is an unmarried woman and the second of five daughters of Mr. and Mrs. Bennet from Hertfordshire, near London. The Bennet home can only be inherited by males in the family, so the pressure is on for the daughters to marry well or risk losing everything. While out in society, Elizabeth interacts with single men like Mr. Darcy, an outwardly curmudgeon who is misunderstood.
