CREDIT LINE:BBC/Bad Wolf If viewers had no idea about the importance of marriage for women during England’s Regency Era, Netflix’s “Bridgerton” has certainly provided an education over the past six years. However, for those well-versed in Jane Austen’s works, specifically “Pride and Prejudice,” there has always been some awareness of what women had to expect and endure. Based on Janice Hadlow’s novel of the same name, “The Other Bennet Sister” is a continuation of Austen’s most acclaimed work. The series follows Mary Bennet (a perfectly cast Ella Bruccoleri), the forgotten middle sister among the five Bennet women. After a life on the sidelines, Mary breaks free from her family to embark on a journey of self-discovery outside of her sisters’ shadows. Immensely charming and thoughtful, “The Other Bennet Sister” makes up for its sluggish pace with a bold feminist narrative and a delightful lead.
