Right now, Sense and Sensibility is on Amazon Prime Video and several other platforms, sitting at 8/10 on TMDB. Consistently well-regarded, and easy to understand why once you start watching.
Sense and Sensibility takes its time building the world its characters inhabit, and the patience pays off. Sense and Sensibility is a 2008 British television drama, based on Jane Austen's 1811 novel of the same name. The screenplay was written by Andrew Davies, who said that the aim of the series was to make viewers forget Ang Lee's 1995 film version. As such, this series was more overtly sexual than previous Austen adaptations, and Davies included scenes featuring a seduction and a duel that are suggested in Austen's novel but absent from the feature film. Hattie Morahan and Charity Wakefield lead a cast that brings real weight to the material. It aired in 2008.
If you're looking for television that takes its characters seriously and rewards patient viewing, Sense and Sensibility is exactly that. One of the more rewarding dramas of its era.
