Well, if it's any help, this is the sentence that I liked the best from the meta: She hasn't been given ANY of the characteristics that writers usually give to female characters to make them easier for the viewer to take, and by that very fact, makes you WAKE UP to the realization that female characters on TV are actually drastically limited in what they are allowed to be, even when they are well-written and realistically flawed.

I've just mainstreamed a few more eps of Lizzie Bennet and there's a minor change in one important event in the books that totally works for me in a modern adaptation of it, so that pleases me. Also, the structure allows for a lot more criticism of Lizzie's POV: that she isn't this impartial judge of character. Not that I think it's not there in the books, but the narrative allows more voices to be heard as well: Jane's, Charlotte's, even Lydia's.
