Lots of firsts in this one, dear hearts, as we watch the Emmy Award-winning Lizzie Bennet Diaries. It’s our first webseries, our first modern adaptation, possibly our first disagreement! Don’t believe us? Ask my fiancé who lives in Winnipeg, Manitoba! Plus, Jess goes way into her fandom days, and Jaleh finds the links in the dooblydoo. Whhhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat!
