Season 1 Review:
Ms. Hawes is, as always, a fascinating performer, imbuing Cassandra with determination but no skills at covering her tracks, and yet making her sympathetic despite all her flaws. .... Ms. Ferran’s performance is a constant delight. .... Austen-ites will be eating it up.

Season 1 Review:
It’s handsomely and thoughtfully made; with only a couple exceptions toward the end as it feels the pressure to wrap things up, it largely avoids the trap of creating melodrama for the sake of it. What the show lacks in sweeping romances (no drenched Mr. Darcy rising from a lake like some siren here), it makes up for in the intimacy of family, friendship, and the fears you’d never say aloud.

Season 1 Review:
The four-part series becomes ever more of a treat as it goes on – warm, intelligent, clear-eyed, confident and thought-provoking. How much is established fact and how much is the work of imagination, I am not equipped to know, but the beauty is that it all feels true; to the age, to the books and to what we know – or feel we know – about their author.

Season 1 Review:
The truth is that we will never know what Jane wrote to her friends and that is probably exactly as it should be. But Miss Austen is nonetheless a gentle and charming period drama, filled with classy performances that will delight Austen fans if not necessarily spawn new ones.

Season 1 Review:
It’s rather an unfair standard to hold them to. Miss Austen might not achieve the sororal interplay of the Dashwoods in Sense and Sensibility, the emotional range of Anne Elliot in Persuasion, or the romantic badinage of Mr Knightley and young Miss Woodhouse in Emma, but there’s still plenty to be admired.
