On another view they might be used to suggest that detractors of the production are concerned that it isn’t pretty enough—that carefully tracing the lineage from Regency romance to Rom-Com is elided in the mashup of Austen’s novel, Phoebe Waller-Bridge’s character, and the streaming version of Julia
