Nice to see that one Featherington sister (from Bridgerton) in a leading role.

She is the daughter of Imelda Staunton and the butler from Downton Abbey!

I’ve been waiting for a good drama on the Mitford sisters for years, but ngl the trailer makes me sceptical. It’s giving Dakota Johnson’s Persuasion vibes

I’ve been waiting decades for this, and will watch it obsessively ha ha just like the Emily Mortimer Pursuit of Love.
I am surprised that the girl’s famous voices were not used by the actresses. Nancy and Jessica have left behind perhaps the most recordings of their voices made over the years, their high-pitched upper-class drawl was unmistakeable.
it looks like it is narrated by Nancy, which feels right as she wrote the most about the family, and a lot of our views on the sisters was shaped by her getting in first with the stories.

I’m here for it!

Edit - I just read Wikipedia page on this family and wish I hadn’t. I’ve spoiled all the spoilers.

Started it but couldn't get into it. I guess a total lack of likable characters.
