Not many people enjoy the BBC pride and prejudice?!?! News to me. It has a 95 audience score on rotten tomatoes.

I was talked ng about the 1980 one. Is that the one you're referring to?

The PBS one? It's not that lowly rated either The 1995 BBC version is super popular, as far as I'm aware, and very book accurate.

Yes the 95 version is super popular, but it's not a filming of the book scene by scene as the 1980 one was.

The 95 verison makes very few deviations and is longer than the 80 verison. So I don't think the length or incorrect expectations is why people like the 95 verison more. It's accessibility and ubiquity probably plays a bigger role in it's popularity.
