Dickinson

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.

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.

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.

I've read the user reviews, and people seem to love or hate it. Yet, no one seems to have pointed out the obvious: it is only the kids that speak in "modern slang". The adults are all speaking appropriate to the era. So the underlying theme is the age old concept of kids and adults speaking different languages, and therefore not understanding one another. Schultz did it with the Peanuts characters and more recently Macfarlane with Family Guy. I am a 56 year old WASP, so am the definition of "stuffy" and I throughly enjoy period shows and movies. This was NOT intended to be one of those. Once you let go of that expectation, it is really quite clever and entertaining.

I wasn't sure about watching this simply because I'm not a lover of historical series. However from episode 1 Hailee Steinfeld's Emily had me hooked. It's fast and funny and quirky and there are only 2 people who could have taken this role: Steinfeld and Winona Ryder. Krakowski brings a fiery funny to it too and the rest of the cast are very able. I'm not interested in the life of Emily Dickinson, I just love the show for what it is.
