Gentleman Jack reviews

Gentleman Jack holds a 7.8/10 average from 216 TMDB ratings.

This series had at least two things going for it, in my view. Creator/director Sally Wainwright and star Suranne Jones as Anne Lister. It presents an interesting juxtaposition: it is a costume drama from the early 1800s, but also tells the story of a woman who tried to live her life as a man, quite amazing at that time. The story held my interest easily, with strong writing and, as is always the case with Wainwright…
— Peter McGinn (7/10)

Halifax, West Yorkshire, England, 1832. Anne Lister attempts to revitalize her inherited home, Shibden Hall. Most notably for the time period, a part of her plan is to help the fate of her own family - by taking a wife.
