The Lizzie Bennet Diaries: not quite perfect, but awfully fun

I've finally gotten fully caught up on The Lizzie Bennet Diaries (a professionally acted, modern-day retelling of Pride and Prejudice told via twice-weekly YouTube videos), and while I'm finding them at least 90% adorable, I think the writers are making a couple of mistakes. Mostly, they need to make Lydia less charming, because right now she's kind of making Lizzie seem like a judgmental bitch. You could, of course, argue that interpretation is actually in keeping with the original book, but I don't think that's quite what Austen intended. The original Lydia was hugely selfish; this one just seems like a boy-crazy but good-hearted ditz who likes sock-sliding and college guys with hot abs. She even offers to lend Lizzie her trashiest top and serve as her wingwoman when they go out to a bar together, and if that doesn't say "selfless" I don't know what does.

Also (and I know this is nit-picky), I really wish the director would stop saying in his behind-the-scenes posts that women in Austen's time couldn't own property. They totally could, dude. They couldn't inherit the specific Bennet estate, which was "entailed in default of heirs male" (unlike, say, Lady Catherine's Rosings Park), but they could inherit other stuff, and if Mr. Bennet had been a better father he would have set aside a yearly sum to ensure their future upkeep.
