This is a slightly bizarre adaption of a classic novel. Olivia Cooke is good as the conniving and scheming Becky. The problem is the choppy editing that jumps the story line in a manner that creates gaps and diminishes viewer continuity. It's as if they are in a hurry to tell the story without the deliciously wicked satire of the novel. Using a soundtrack with 20th century music is just silly as it completely ruins the mood of the series and suggests that it is not to be taken seriously. It also drowns out the dialog at points, necessitating the use of subtitles to hear what is being said. There are comedic moments, but if the idea is to try and maintain the 18th century feeling, then that use of 20th century music is just ridiculous and unacceptable. The script is not that well written , but there are moments where it is a passable version of the original text, others where it comes across like a Christmas Pantomime.
It's watchable, but not great!
