Miniseries are perhaps the perfect balance between a movie that's too short and a show that goes on too long and then gets cancelled on a cliff hanger. Miniseries allow viewers to take comfort in knowing the story has a decent ending. For some, watching a TV show only to have it get cancelled is a huge pet peeve, so we wanted to highlight miniserie...

Pride and Prejudice
Does it get better than the 1995 miniseries adaption of P&P Colin Firth and Jennifer Ehle? The miniseries length suits Jane Austen's classic book better than a movie because it allows more time to tell the full story.

Sense and Sensibility

It stars: Dominic Cooper, Dan Stevens, Mark Gatiss, and David Morrissey. Charity Wakefield, Hattie Morahan, and Lucy Boynton star as the Dashwood sisters. The second wife of Mr. Dashwood and her daughters are now poor due to an unfair inheritance. Like all of Austen's stories, this one is...
The Game
The Gameisn't quite modern, but surely the 1970s were only, what, twenty years ago? (Kidding).

(It's written by Toby Whithouse who created the supernatural show Being Human and often writes episodes of Doctor Who).
