The Lizzie Bennet Diaries: Part Two

What if Pride & Prejudice was set in the 2010s, where Lizzie Bennet was on a media internship? What if she captures the wild and wonderful plot from Pride & Prejudice on camera? What if Lydia Bennet becomes a fan favourite – and pod favourite – character? 

Melinda and Stefanie discuss the arrival of Darcy, and Lydia breaking our hearts in a well-executed Wickham scandal in our second episode on the huge adaptation that is The Lizzie Bennet Diaries.
