Synopsis
The Pursuit of Love (2021) is a BBC miniseries you can watch online on iFILM — adapted from Nancy Mitford's 1945 semi-autobiographical novel by Emily Mortimer, who also directs all three episodes. Lily James plays Linda Radlett, an English aristocrat between the wars who is completely serious about finding grand passion and keeps landing the wrong men instead.
Emily Beecham narrates as Fanny, Linda's cousin and reluctant witness to her romantic wreckage. Andrew Scott and Dominic West round out the cast. Mortimer shoots the pre-war English countryside — the country houses, the hunting parties, the dinner tables — with obvious familiarity and zero reverence for the class it depicts.
Mitford was writing about her own world, and the adaptation earns that same insider sharpness across three brisk episodes. Stream The Pursuit of Love (2021) online on iFILM.
