In Praise of the Unlikely Heroine: The Other Bennett sister review

There’s something quietly radical about The Other Bennet Sister. In a TV landscape obsessed with spectacle, this is proper, old-school Sunday night viewing – the kind we don’t really get anymore. Ten episodes, each a neat half-hour, it’s a format that feels almost nostalgic, but also perfectly judged: enough time to luxuriate in character, without ever dragging. It’s also the sort of programme you could happily watch with your mum, your aunties, or your friends. It’s comforting and chatty, but with enough bite to spark conversation afterwards.
