📚 Classic Literature Reimagined as the Best TV Shows of Today

Your English syllabus just got a prestige TV upgrade.

Hello, fabulous!

Today I have something fun for you that you’ll definitely have opinions about, so hear me out.

Lately, I’ve been feeling this massive urge to start reading the classics aka the greatest stories ever told that we still keep reading today. But I also keep asking myself, “WHY are these stories still so good? Why have stood the test of time?”

And what I’ve come up with is that human nature doesn’t change much. Fast forward to today and, although the clothes and technologies have changed, the hilariously tragic human disasters that keep us in a choke hold until 3am are basically the same whether you’re reading them on a page or watching them on a screen.

If these stories had been turned into TV shows instead of books, with the budgets and the casting and the dramatic pauses they deserved, here’s what I think we’d be watching. Sooooo curious to know what you think after you read this! Let’s go!

Now your turn!

Which one did I get exactly right? Which one are you watching immediately? And what classic did I leave out that deserves its own entry — because I know you have one.

Drop it in the comments! I’m super curious!
