What do you think of Will Darcy from Bride and Prejudice? He is actually the version that most closely matches my own envisioning of the character from the book, allowing of course for the modern resetting. Interestingly enough, he doesn't seem particularly popular with the crowd who were drawn in by the Colin Firth version, though I wouldn't say he's *un*popular either.

I don't like him at all, I'm afraid! It's partly his actor, who I find extremely meh where Darcy has a lot of force of personality, and partly because the Will/Lalita set-up just doesn't have the right vibes for me and is unfortunately the weak point of the adaptation IMO.

I think Bride and Prejudice is pretty broadly popular, though—I don't think I've seen liking it (or liking their Darcy) split along 1995 vs 2005 fan lines.
