David and Lisa Campbell recap episodes 3 and 4 of Netflix’s My Brilliant Career, celebrating Alexander England’s Uncle J.J., unpacking Everard’s role in Sybylla’s theatre opportunity and Harry’s shaky finances, and discussing Harry’s farm-mortgage scheme and the pressure to marry Blanche. They touch on Australia’s 1901 federation and women’s property rights, reveal Helen’s husband abandoned her, and praise Liz Doran’s additions, including deeper LGBTQ themes and richly integrated First Nations storylines shaped by Indigenous writers and creatives, highlighting characters like Charlie and Betty. They also debate adaptation “faithfulness,” rave about the heavily Shazamed soundtrack (Thelma Plum, Kate Miller-Heidke, “Scarborough Fair,” possible Kylie?!), explain how Ernie Dingos stopped Lisa smoking.  

Join them back in the Austenverse on Thursday for a special interview with the authors of Kitty and Mary - a wonderful new book exploring further possibilities for two the Bennets!
