Oh, definitely. I don't really have a problem with the cast, necessarily (although I do have issues with the people they cast as the Crofts, but that's a long story), but the directing style was all wrong for Austen. They were constantly playing up the OMGZ DRAMAH, and even if Persuasion was one of Austen's more dramatic works (which prize, IMO, goes to Northanger Abbey), Austen is not really the OMGZ DRAMAH type of author. Just didn't work all around.
