How customer reviews and ratings work

Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings, help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.

To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyses reviews to verify trustworthiness.

4.0 out of 5 starsMade me laugh, broke my heart a little, actually pretty good!
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 5 June 2021
I think this is a lot better than most reviews are rating it and a pretty good adaptation of the original novel. Of course it's not Austen but what is! I thought they got the difficult relationship between the Wren and Owen - standing in for Anne and Wentworth pretty much right, kept a lot of the plot and the idea of the original conversations in. They even had the modern equivalent of Wentworth's letter and the final will they wont they scene nearly had me going as the original does! Also wonderful, funny, mad secondary characters which made me laugh as they do in the novel.

2.0 out of 5 starsif you want a masterclass in terrible acting and literary adaptation, this is it
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 20 May 2021
Listen up, Literature majors! This is awful and you should watch it to see how baaaad it is. It's a shame, I've liked some of Alicia Witt's work in the past, and love Bebe Neuwirth. There is also a Chinese actress here I don't know the name of who outshines everyone, but I only know all this from watching it for 15 minutes. I decided life was too short. Nothing held together. It was perhaps referencing the formulas of modern takes on classic literature, but it didn't succeed in conveying any of the glittering dialogue or even the basic qualities of exchange in the original characters. I'm troubled this ever got made.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not as bad as other reviews make out
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 22 March 2022

I didn't think it was all that bad - some of the other reviews are far too harsh! It honestly wasn't that terrible. Perfectly watchable, for its genre. I've seen so much worse. Perhaps it's the fact it was based on Austen, but then again, I've seen some awful modern adaptations. If you enjoy light, second-chance romance, you might like this! 3.5 stars.

Fun and avoids being a cliche of these romance dramas genre. Good characters and actors creating believable scenario in which chemistry builds naturally and is believable.
