Dickinson

I came for Hailee Steinfeld and I stayed for the quality; bold, inspirational, "old" but that surrounds you to also feel in the present, I loved the realities in Emily's mind, sometimes they are uncomfortable but interesting.

One of my favorite parts of my studies at university was getting to learn about the life of Emily Dickinson. I always had an idea of what she would have been like, and this show got it spot on. Three words always come to mind while thinking of the real Dickinson: wild, eccentric, and queer (both in personality and sexuality). Hailee Steinfeld did an amazing job in her portrayal of Emily Dickinson. Also, I think the anachronisms were done remarkably well in this show compared to other uses I have seen in other film and television.

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.

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.

And new. All right, I don't get the low ratings at all unless the raters were expecting something they had already made up their minds they were going to see. I went into this not expecting anything, but what I got was something different and frankly, the only thing worth watching on Apple TV. Anachronistic? Yes, so what? Anything like the real Emily Dickinson? Except that we can be sure she didn't talk 2020 hip, who knows what the real Emily Dickinson was like? For the record, I'm well over 65 and I loved the imagination that went into this series. I love TV from the 60s and 70s, for what it was. I love this for what it is - different, imaginative, fresh.
