Life in the past must not have been too easy in some aspects, considering that they did not have a lot of advances that make our lives much easier. However, we would leave our cell phone parked for a while if in exchange we could walk for a while through the palaces full of luxury, the charming gardens and wearing those beautiful dresses that its protagonists usually wear. Our fascination with period films and series is evident and now that we are waiting for the second part of the season 3 of ‘The Bridgertons’ We can’t help but fall in love with other equally interesting stories.
If a few days ago we recommend ‘The Virgin Queen’, fiction centered on the figure of Queen Elizabeth I, now we are going to turn our attention to another short period series from Prime Video with a mystery plot that captivates you from the first moment. This title has three chapters, so it is perfect to watch in an afternoon or over a weekend. We talk about ‘Death comes to Pemberley’, a production that will please those who value locations as spectacular as those of ‘Downton Abbey’, one of the best series on Netflix, and the plots with crimes, like that of ‘Agatha Christie: Killing is easy’, another great fiction that emulates the formula of the queen of suspense and is available on Movistar Plus+.
The miniseries is based on the novel of the same name by P.S. James, which in turn was inspired by one of Jane Austen’s most relevant works: ‘Pride and Prejudice’, which also became one of the best period films. The plot takes place in 1803, six years after what happened in said work. Fitzwilliam Darcy and Elizabeth Bennet They are married and have a big ball at the Pemberley house. Lydia’s arrival is marred by the announcement of a murder among the guests and the culprit will put the Darcys’ peace of mind at risk. This event is so powerful and interesting that it keeps us in suspense. In addition, all the characters are very well developed and interpreted by their cast, which includes Matthew Rhys and Anna Maxwell Martin.
‘Death comes to Pemberley’ It is a fantastic adaptation of the novel, something that is not always achieved and it has a good rhythm that makes it a very entertaining and beautiful series with settings that seem taken from a story or a painting. Filmed in Yorkshire and Derbyshire, one of the most curious things is that the mansion of Chatsworth House It can be visited and this way you can feel like another character in this fabulous story.
