Robert Bianco

Season 1 Review: This two-part production expands and opens the story without diminishing the charm or appeal of Austen's original or pushing it past her socially constrained boundaries. Read full review

TV Guide Magazine Matt Roush

Season 1 Review: It lacks the star power (Hugh Grant, Emma Thompson, Kate Winslet) of Ang Lee's 1995 Oscar winner. But Austen's characters are so enduring and endearing in their virtues, vanities and passionate follies that they don't require movie stars to bring them to life. Read full review

Mary McNamara

Season 1 Review: This Sense and Sensibility is truer not only to Austen's narrative, it more successfully captures the quiet precision of her singular mind--she was the master of finding poetry in domestic detail, and for that, the small screen is much better suited than the large. Read full review

Hal Boedeker

Season 1 Review: Expert casting deepens this version. Without stars as these youthful Dashwood sisters, the men are on equal footing. Read full review

John Leonard

Season 1 Review: Nothing shameful here, but nothing either to prize it above Ang Lee’s marvelous 1995 version. This new Sense is, in fact, somewhat of a drag. Read full review

Matthew Gilbert

Season 1 Review: It never quite dazzles, even as it impresses, and it misses some of Austen's ironic turns. But this is certainly a worthy adaptation, summoning all that is enduring about Austen. Read full review

Maureen Ryan

Season 1 Review: This well-intentioned Sense gets the job done. Read full review
