Pride, Prejudice and Other Favors is a delicious slow burn romance on a bed of expansive family dynamics.  Sonali Dev's high concept contemporary series of Austen retellings transpose the social drama of to ton to a South Asian migrant community in California. DJ's Indo-Rwandan heritage introduced timely nuance to the conversation of privilege at the heart of the conflict between this adaptation's Darcy and Lizzie.

Sonali Dev excels in locating romantic machinations within expansive, nuanced family dynamics. In Pride, Prejudice and Other Flavors, she has created a rich, textured, sumptuous narrative world I can't wait to return to in the series' subsequent titles.
