I love the Jane Austin books and movies. This is by far the best Sense and Sensibility version as it remains true to the story. I highly recommend it!

AMAZING SHOW
Reviewed in the United States on September 27, 2015
Review Readers: I wrote this review back in 2015. Amazon now offers the complete 3-part version to stream for Prime Members. So, my earlier comments which follow do not fit the Prime streaming version you can get today. I tried to purchase it, but couldn't. Amazon allows you to stream it with Prime, but not to purchase it in any form other than as a DVD. So, I am stuck owning the two-episode, cut down version. I am glad Amazon corrected the problem. It's great to watch this wonderful version the way it was originally broadcast. Now I don't have to rely on my DVD.
2015 review:
My Austen lovers beware! This streaming version is DIFFERENT from the broadcast and DVD versions--it has been reduced to Just Two Episodes. First of all, I absolutely LOVE this 2008 version of Sense and Sensibility and own two DVD sets. I have watched it multiple times and adore the music, the setting and all of the performances. Please know before you buy this instant video version that it has been chopped up so that it will fit into two episodes. The original version which aired on BBC and PBS and which you can own on DVD has three episodes. Wonderful dialogue from Mrs. Jennings has been cut in several areas, for example, and other moments are gone that give this version flow and balance. If you enjoyed this on TV or DVD you will notice it immediately. I suggest you buy the DVD version. I am very disappointed that Amazon would offer this without advising that it has been shortened and changed. And it's a shame that whoever owns the rights to this production would allow it to happen. If they had not altered it, I would have given it five stars. As it is, I gave it two simply because I did not have the heart to put only one star next to one of my favorite tele-versions of this story. If you have never seen it before, please buy the DVD version, so you can enjoy it in the way it deserves.

Whether you’ve already seen it or not this is always a fun movie to watch on a cold winter day :)
Reviewed in the United States on September 29, 2022
I love this 2008 version. Like Emma Thompson's S&S, there is some added humor (and added beauty, with a young Dan Stevens in shy Edward Ferrar's role.) It stays pretty true to the book. Of course, several scenes are added that are only implied in the book, including the scandalous "seduction" (not explicit) at the beginning. Spoiler: they also added Willoughby's visit to Cleveland and the duel, which are both in the book but absent from the 1995 one. Sir John's wife and Fanny's young son are also back in the story, just as Jane described them. Fanny is the villain of villains. The acting is superb throughout, particularly Hattie Monahan's stoic but heartbroken Eleanor, and David Morrissey's strong, silent type Colonel Brandon. My favorite part is actually the music. It is perfect.

An excellent adaptation that adheres closely to the book. Ideal for those who like Jane Austen 'as it is writ' and not the later sexed-up versions. Very well acted and produced

A bit wooden and dated, but saved by Tracey Childs
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 15, 2014
This BBC production was made in 1981, and it looks like it. It looks very wooden next to the thrilling Oscar-winning Emma Thomson version that hit cinema screens 12 years later, and was eclipsed again by the BBC's superb 2003 production (starring Hattie Morahan). Both offer a much more lively and colourful retelling than we get here. The 1981 and 2003 versions stay very close to the novel, though the 2003 version enacts some material that Austen alludes to in Willoughby's back-story.
The acting in this version is fine, given how classics were "done" at the time. Looking at it over 30 years later, the interplay of the characters seems jarringly stilted and prim, with actors making their speeches as if it were Macbeth. It is a thing of its time, not wrong for its time, but its treatment of the subject has long since been abandoned. The central figures - the Dashwood sisters - are so frosty and cheerless, you wonder if the script writers actually read the novel. Where is the sisterly warmth, and the humour? Indeed, where is the "comedy of manners" that is synonymous with Austen? You get none of it here. What you do get is serious moody, with hardly a grin anywhere. Even the romantic scenes are played with tense and desperate angst that seems to come from nowhere.
Tracey Childs, who was a mere 18 at the time, saved the whole thing. She played Marianne with the same simpering moodiness that depresses the whole series, but she was very attractive in 1981. It was what struck me most when I watched it back then as a teenager myself. Her constant gasping earnestness and quivering lip were certainly not in the novel, but thank goodness she did it, because she carried the series along from start to end. Gushing, certainly, but that look was pure period - it could have come straight out of a Reynolds painting.
Quite why she only did two more costume dramas after this, I can't imagine. She did Scarlet Pimpernel (1982) and Jane Eyre (1983), before settling in to appear in just about every popular British TV soap there has ever been since the 1980s. Her looks have faded since then, but in her youth she burned more brightly than just about anyone had a right to hope for.
Stars aside, this series is a worthy production, and a nice addition to a costume drama DVD collection, but it's one that you have to stick with to get into, and it makes no effort to win your affection. It also has one of the most boring opening credit sequences imaginable (the Dashwood sisters rocking very-very slowly on a see-saw, while looked very-very bored at each other). Personally, I'd watch this through, and then watch the 2003 version, otherwise you may find this older one a bit lacking.

Faithful version
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 28, 2022
Slower-paced than the film with Emma Thompson and Kate Winslet, but characters well portrayed. They miss out the little sister, Margaret, but she isn't essential.b after all, the alternative title Jane Austen gave this book was Elinor and Marianne. The dialogue can sometimes feel a bit stilted.
