I love how this show is set and showcases the dynamics of woman’s intellectual pursuits and healthy platonic relationships. Because reducing everything to romance would be such a boring idea and how her sense of wonder and curiosity solely for the sake of sharing her world with others is portrayed is to me the best part of the show. Here it outshines pride and prejudice for me.

I really admire how in the show the character of Mr Collins is finally humanized and despite his eccentric mannerisms, he wasn't that superficial as he was portrayed in previous adaptations.  The bennet family, of course, had their own reasons for treating him the way they treated him, but it's only with people like Mary who at least try to understand the human condition and their first reaction is neither to mock nor even pity, but just a warm nudge of human nature which welcomes others and lets them exist, and their actions eventually announce the kind of person they are... ( just a very personal take)

When Mary's aunt said, "We do not run and hide from Caroline binglyes of the world, we stand our ground because there will always be one."
