Lost In Austen :]

This show is possibly the most comedic piece of entertainment I have ever watched. Seriously. I was laughing out loud quite literally. It definitely puts a twist on one of Jane Austen's most beloved books Pride & Prejudice. It was so funny and so not like the book that I couldn't help but fall in love with it :]

Lost in Austen is the story of a young insurance representative's love for Jane Austen, especially Pride & Prejudice ( SO AM I :] )and how the world of fiction she adores clashes with the world of reality she lives. ( I have the SAME problem. lol.)

Amanda Price is an ardent Jane Austen fan. She's bored with her job during the day and frustrated with her boyfriend Michael at night. In between she "patches" herself up with Jane Austen. One evening she's home alone enjoying yet again the haughty veneer of Mr. Darcy when she is interrupted by her drunk boyfriend who proposes to her with a beer tab then passes out. Luckily she's playing it smart and holding out for something better but she really isn't sure what. A bit later Amanda hears some noices in the bathroom and goes to inspect. She finds no other than Elizabeth Bennet in her nightclothes standing in the tub. After a short conversation Miss Bennet is out of sight, leaving Amanda to think she's suffering from "too much Austen".

The following night Amanda continues on with her book as if nothing has happened. Again Elizabeth appears in the bathroom. This time she is fully clothed and completely encouraging of this wonder. Amanda ventures through the secret door adjoining the two worlds to check the realism of what appears to be an eighteenth century home and it closes behind her; leaving her in the Bennet house and Elizabeth in her bathroom. Amanda quickly assumes the position of "a friend of Miss Elizabeth" with the guise that Elizabeth is visiting her home to write a novel and she is visiting the Bennet home. Good manners being the top priority, no one questions this and Amanda is quickly given one of Lizzie's dresses and welcomed into the family and the society they participate in.

As Amanda moves through the day to day lives of the Bennets, Bingleys and Darcys she suffers one blunder after another completely changing the beloved Pride and Prejudice storyline. Before she knows it, Jane has married Mr. Collins, Bingley has become a depressed drunk and Mr. Darcy has fallen in love with the wrong woman. At first she tries to get things to go according to the legendary novel but as things continue to get worse she gives in hoping things will work out for the best. I was pleasantly surprised at how engaging the series is.I loved watching to see what Amanda Price would cack up next and how the characters responded to her. It was hilarious at how she tries to keep up with the present time yet fumbles with her common London slang. Like " bumrushers " :] basically I love it. SPOILER ALERT there is a very funny and HOT pond scene where Mr.Darcy does a Colin Firth dip in the pond . ITS HILARIOUS ! ahahhaa :]
