My New Obsession (Monocle Wasp)

Ok readers I have to share my latest obsession


THE LIZZIE BENNET DIARIES YOUTUBE CHANNEL


Click the link below to start your newest obsession:

So basically this web series is based on the very popular story of Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen and is a modern adaptation. It takes the form of a web diary maintained by Lizzie Bennet and her friend Charlotte Lu and follows the events that take place after the arrival of Bing Lee and Will Darcy into the neighbourhood. It also follows Lizzies two sisters Jane and Lydia who have cameo appearances on the webseries and strong influences throughout the storyline.

While some of you may be hesitant to give a modern adaptation of a much loved period drama a go I cannot express how enjoyable it is in its own right. Not to mention there is a lot of inside jokes for those who have watched and read the original Pride and Prejudice and it adds an extra level of enjoyment with it.

There are 100 episodes total and for those of you who want to know for the sake of it, we don't meet Darcy until episode 60 but it is worth working your way up to it for full enjoyment :)

With the perfect blend of comedy, drama and great writing it is easy to get caught up in the world of Lizzie and her family and friends.
