Death Comes to Pemberley

[kitmerlot_1213]

Has anyone else seen this?  Holy crap but I can not get past just how horribly unattractive the actors are who are playing Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy amd I know that's shallow but it's disconcerting to see the pretty and sparkingly Elizabeth played by such an older and drab woman.  And the characaterization seems wrong--since when does Elizabeth call her husband "Darcy?"

Cannot comment on the actor or actress since I have not seen them but I do recall reading a few P&P fanfics where Elizabeth calls her husband that and it always struck me as odd.

Yes, I took a literature class that had the Austen novels as it's focus and the teacher specifically said that women in that time period who called men by their last names where considered low rent. The heroine would always say "Mr." where as the classless chick would just say the last name.

As you can see, I've been thinking way too much about this :):)
