Jack Lowden’s Got This


Can the Scottish Slow Horses lead do Darcy? Netflix thinks so.

Darcy is a high-stakes character — a brooding snob turned gentle softie who wins the heart of plucky Elizabeth Bennet who long thought of herself as above marriage and relationships. While their casting matters — and who’s to say what other four lucky souls will take up the mantle of fellow Bennets Jane, Mary, Kitty, and Lydia — Darcy has become the novel’s touchstone, a sexual awakening for generations of headstrong and precocious readers. It’s a role that requires a sharp balance between being just smart enough to get by at his spycraft and just stupid enough to be made a fool of repeatedly until he proves himself to the audience each season.
