Netflix recently released Persuasion, an adaptation of Jane Austen's classic novel of the same name, starring Dakota Johnson, Cosmo Jarvis, and Henry Golding.
The movie — which modernizes the dialogue, breaks the fourth wall, and makes big changes to Anne's character in particular — has audiences divided, with some people loving it and a lot of people really not loving it. But one thing unites everyone: memes. Here are the best about Netflix's Persuasion...

I’m sorry Louisa launching herself onto the ground for no reason is hilarious. I know she’s embarrassed #Persuasion

if i had been in the writers' room when they were adapting persuasion i would've proposed "there could have been no two hearts so open, no tastes so similar, no feelings so in unison" to be changed to "he's just like me fr"

Netflix’s Persuasion making Anne the wine aunt is honestly great to me. Along with making Mary the vapid ww who misuses terms to make herself constantly the center of attention. An empath? Yes perfect. Nailed it.

the bennifer saga is a better adaptation of Persuasion than Persuasion (2022)

Watching the new Netflix version of Persuasion and it turns out I don't give a shit about historical accuracy, as long as everyone in the film is so very pretty.

Things that Netflix removed from the original when they remade #Persuasion: - Subtlety - All of the protagonist’s defining characteristics - Key themes - The evolution of tension between Anne and Wentworth - Mrs Smith The things they kept: - Sexy Mr Elliot

And Netflix has a new Jane Austen adaptation, you hear about this folks? Persuasion. It’s not working on the viewers, that much is clear.
23.
Netflix looking at how much people are talking about Persuasion on social media. “Ok so in Persuasion 2: 2 Bath, 2 Furious we’re gonna have more wine and barouche races.”
