The other day on Alisa’s twitter feed I discovered a new webseries called Jane Eyre, which is a modern take on the classic story by Charlotte Bronte. Jane Eyre is in nursing school, but has decided she is going to get a job being a nanny and answers a Craigslist ad. I’ve seen both episodes that have been posted, and what I’ve seen is really good.
I like that it is a video blog so that production value doesn’t need to be so excellent. The story is funny and modern but with the same feel as the original story. I like the actress, she does an excellent job. She is cute in her nervousness and she is funny in an understated way, which I like. The second episode had be really nervous, I had to stop it half way through and go do something else to calm down. I know it isn’t real, but damn, it felt like it. I’m hooked.
If you enjoy remakes, Jane Eyre, or clever webseries, you should check this one out.
YAY! I am so glad you like it as well..I am really curious to see how this one goes and I felt so sorry for her in the third episode..I think it captures the sense of fear that Jane has when going to Thornfield for the first time!
Yah, that episode made me really afraid for her. Great acting! I can’t wait for the other episodes.
