Gentleman Jack - Season 1
It is a series of dramatic events that we live in differently in 1832 in Halifax - the cradle of the Industrial Revolution. The events of this dramatic series reflect Anne Lester's relationships in her different life. The series explores Anne's drama at home with her family, her servants, her tenants and her industrial opponents who will use any dirty tricks they can drop. It may be different for Anne, who lives a life of humor, complexity, warmth and sometimes love from some.

At first blush, this eight-episode series may look more PBS than HBO, but the second blush is a doozy -- and it would probably send "Masterpiece" pledge-drivers straight to the fainting couch.

On the whole, though, the deliberately clashing elements of Gentleman Jack are the things that make it work. They successfully communicate just how unusual Lister was and how adamantly she insisted on being herself.

Gentleman Jack keeps its eyes wide open as it examines the fullness of Anne Lister's life.
April 22, 2019
Lively, tongue-in-cheek at times and enormously playful, Gentleman Jack is an utter gem of British drama. You can't take your eyes off the central character, and you're drawn into her world and her heart with exquisite ease.

Gentleman Jack treads a meandering line-sometimes satisfying but often frustrating, a character study whose central figure remains opaque despite her grand illustration.
