| The Other Bennet Sister |
Veni, vidi, vici! Here's what's on television for tonight, Wednesday, May 27!
Our Top Pick tonight is The Other Bennet Sister (BritBox, 3 a.m.). This Jane Austen-verse spinoff (adapted from a novel) spends the first 2 episodes recounting events from Austen's Pride and Prejudice from the POV of overlooked Bennet sister Mary (Ella Bruccoleri). The series then ventures off with the adventures of Mary Bennet in London. Richard E. Grant plays father Bennet! I'm not beyond the first 2 episodes, but I really enjoy it.
Elsewhere, the Roman Empire Rises, a jade artifact has Secrets, the final Testament is given, and O gets Ariana DeBose.
