It's a fabulous mashup. Go to Full Review Joanne Ostrow Denver Post 04/11/2019
Before the plot gathers steam, the glorious details of the Pemberley household are given loving attention in this BBC production, both upstairs amid the paintings and gorgeous sitting rooms and libraries, and downstairs in the busy kitchen. Go to Full Review Deborah Ross Daily Mail (UK) 08/30/2017
3/5
The BBC's three-parter, Death Comes To Pemberley, a sort of sequel to Jane Austen's Pride And Prejudice, was rather fun until death did come to Pemberley, at which point it became a murder mystery, and possibly a little less fun...

4.5/5
[The miniseries] takes the beloved characters of Austen's Pride and Prejudice, vaults them a few years forward into what seemed destined to be a happily-ever-after future, and then drops them smack-dab into the middle of a gripping murder-mystery tale. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
