Watch Lost in Austen For Free

One of my all time favorites.

Excellent adaptation.

It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.

Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast

I really loved it. I love all things Jane Austin. Watched this movie twice in one day. (Stuck at home. Bomb Cyclone.) So, I obviously don't claim to be a purist. It was just a good, entertaining series. There were just a couple of things that caught my eye while watching the series. But, there always are, aren't there? Like, how long was Amanda there? Did she wash her hair? ( Because if she was washing her hair, she had to be straightening it too. It looked pretty obviously kept up with modern tools. And lots of hairspray.) How in the world did Darcy go from hating her in one scene to being in love with her in another scene? Why was Wickham even allowed to step on the property at Pemberly? How did Elizabeth get a job as a nanny with no references at all? All, things that one thinks (or maybe just me) while watching the movie. But, it didn't spoil it for me at all. It was all good fun. I didn't take it so seriously. I don't think it's meant to be taken that way. If taken as it is, I am pretty sure most will enjoy this movie too!

After seeing the trailer I was very excited. Everything that is connected to Jane Austen and her novels will raise an interest. But as much as Jane Austen's book club succeeded in creating a link between our time and Victorian age this TV show as failed.The main character, Miss Amanda Price introduces herself as wanting to live in that time, but when she actually gets there she is vulgar, out of place and does everything wrong. That could be accepted since she had received no education but the worst comes when Pride and Prejudice main characters behave completely OFF character! Jane is no longer the good girl who hides her feeling who sees good in everybody instead she goes and cries in front of people during society gathering?? And it's just one example. Everything is wrong. The person who wrote this script clearly doesn't understand the rules of behaving in society and completely destroyed the spirit and what made Pride and Prejudice so special. It ruined it all and the plot therefore becomes really poor. A shame and a pity for it could have been a good idea.I am going to watch Pride and Prejudice with Colin Firth as Mister Darcy right now in order to completely forget about this show.

I didn't make the mistake of reading reviews before watching this so I went in with no expectations. Before going any further I have to admit to having watched the 90's version of P & P and read the novel dozens of times. A true Austen freak, I am.Like other reviewers, at first I was offended by the crudeness and lack of tact displayed by the Amanda character when she entered the world of the novel. How dare any true Austen fan behave in a way that displays such ignorance of Lizzie's world? She should have fit right in. But then I realized the choice to NOT make Amanda a perfect Eliza Bennet clone made for a much more dynamic story and more amusing moments between the characters. Instead of giving her the perfect accent, the perfect deportment, and the perfect manners right from the start, it took her some time to fit in. Her clumsy manner and bluntness caused her to make some mistakes that would seem impossible for a true Austen fan but enabled unexpected twists and turns in the story. And its these twists and the what ifs that I loved. I loved that the wrong people fell in love. I love that everything she thought was supposed to happen didn't happen. If I wanted to watch a P & P imitation, I would just watch the real thing again. I found the movie Becoming Jane, which attempted to follow a truer Jane Austen style, to be a sappy and insipid imitation that was truly forgettable and predictable. No one else can do Jane Austen and Lost in Austen doesn't try to. Instead, its fun and impertinent in a way that I think Jane herself would appreciate.

well I loved this adaptation! guy Andrews has resurrected Jane Austen's romantic desire to have the leading lady end up with the most desirous of men once again. don't we all want to marry our Mr Darcy, whomever, wherever he maybe; Amanda Price did in true Austen form. It did mess with my head, but after watching it again I was most pleased to have another Austen story in the 21st century. it is also very funny towards the end. I would have loved to see a bit more of Lizzie in modern day London and Darcy discovering what had become of his world. The twists in story lines were subtle yet well done. Who would have thought Wickham would have become an honorable man? That Carolyn did not really like men! Loved, loved, loved the pond scene! I don't see this version of Austen as spoof material but another chance to celebrate romance within an English culture. But please Mr Andrews you must never do this to my beloved Persuasion.
