Behind the ambitious drive and outrageous dresses of this drama's new moneyed matriarch, Bertha Russell (Carrie Coon), lies a vulnerable soul devoted to her businessman husband George (Morgan Spector).

It is a truism that this six-hour 1995 drama, starring Jennifer Ehle as the headstrong Elizabeth Bennet and Colin Firth as the proud Fitzwilliam Darcy, is one of the best Jane Austen adaptations ever to grace the screen. Austen's intimate 1813 text — in which Lizzie and Darcy circle each other in an epic will-they-won't-they — is faithfully reproduced. Except for one scene, in which a soaking-wet Darcy emerges from a lake in a white shirt. It never appeared in the text, but the image is forever etched in our minds. — TV Insider Staff
