Dickinson

Do not watch this with the intention of it being a biopic. It's fun, it's moving and it's a ride to enjoy!

I'm normally so good with words. It's historical but accessible. It's poignant but laugh out loud funny. It teaches you something about humanity. It connects you to a bygone era in a way that's rich, not a soup of facts and names. It's well written, well acted, well directed. It's a good deed, keeping alive a famous poet, but in a way that's relatable. It's like Hamilton and Arrested Development, a new type of of medium. A new art form. I'm LOSING MY MIND. It's so good. Even if you think you hate poetry, don't you see? Poetry is life! Everything in the world is poetry to the discerning. Teaching us a discerning viewpoint is the purpose of any great art. This show does that.

I watch it and, re-watched it again. I understand this may not be for everyone. However, as far as myself, I wish there was more show like this. I enjoyed every character. I especially enjoyed the way Hailee Steinfeld portrayed Emily Dickenson.

This is not your typical "Cookie Cutter" series. For me; it was a very pleasant surprise. And yes, I am already looking forward to watching it again.

The series is stupendous. I like how it connects well with modern times although its a certain period series.

Everyone in the series have performed decently. It should be noted that this is not an autobiography on Emily Dickinson. Her character & traits have been brought into a modern perspective but still keeping the rebel nature that she had in her period.

Hailee performed very well for her part and so have the other cast members. I look forward to more of this show.

This show! Loads of fun... taking a historical literary genius, and mashing up 21st century language, music, and antics into it. Because why not?

Shows and stories like this turn stuffy dry history into something a lot more palatable and attractive to the teenage crowd, and therefore they will feel some sort of connection to Emily as a writer.

There's a huge disconnect in the reviews, because some people can't fathom what the writers have done with this story of Emily... but I think it's a very clever way to bring our younger generations along for the literary ride. Its meant to be fun... not biographical.
