Comment from Facebook about The Other Bennet Sister:
I must say there are some changes from the book (I’m about three quarters in, so I’m not finished yet) and some of my fav scenes in the book didn’t make it into the series! and my poor husband was scared for life (his words, not mine lol) during a scene showing the sisters getting ready for the Netherfield ball where we see Mary wash her underarms and she has some impressive arm hair! I know it’s time period accurate but a little jarring to see (and to be honest I don’t know if I can ever watch a period piece again without thinks “all the women have arms hair!”) and must’ve taken some commitment on the actress’s part! That’s dedication to the role and accuracy! And as warning for viewers with younger children, I could’ve done without the intro portion that heavily alluded to Mr. & Mrs. Bennet’s early matrimonial relations… Nothing was really shown, but heavily implied. Wished I had know so I could’ve skipped that bit
I actually took screenshots of the absolute HORROR that is a woman with body hair and I would like to note that I didn't even notice her un-shaved armpits because I was being happy about the lack of torture lace-ups on her stays.
Oh no! A woman with mild body hair! I can never look at the world the same way again!
Shoot me now
It “must’ve taken some commitment on the actress’s part!” to GROW OUT SOME HAIR on her pits. 💀 I can’t. Everyone is not okay, at all.
