It’s the quieter parts that make the show truly special. ... You have an emotional rollercoaster that is evocative in the way few other TV shows can hope to reach; but one that is well worth riding. Emily and Sue aren’t the only stand-out characters this season, which finds every member of the cast struggling with growing up in different ways. ... By season’s end, everything — for Emily, for Sue, for all of the Dickinsons, for America — has changed. But in our world, we at least have these two perfect seasons of television to hold on to.
The entire run of Season 2 finds every aspect of Emily’s untellable story thriving under Smith and Steinfeld’s vision. ... Season 2 gives [Hailee Steinfeld] even more to work with: namely, the question of fame, and whether or not it’s dangerous to seek it out; and also the question of love, and whether or not the world needs or deserves to know where your heart lives

It’s just wonderful, blending in modern with the old. This isn’t a traditional time piece much like **** didn’t fit to the norms of poetry. **** season 2 isn’t going to be a show for everyone. It doesn’t take itself too seriously nor does it come off as childish and outlandish. There is just enough of both sides to create a unique viewing experience

SEASON 2
Do you want to be Nobody or Somebody?? What a great start to 2021! **** Season 2 begins shortly after end of season 1 & it's Looking even bigger and better than first season.
All cast members deserves praise.... Hailee, Ella, Anna, Jane, Toby, Adrian, Darlene, Chinaza are really great. Finn & Pico are nice addition to the cast.
Story is going good. it's a nice & charming homage to the Forgotten Emily ****.
Series also cleverly indicated the problems of 19th century including slavery, racism & women empowerment/independency.
Show is amazing & catchy with its humor, chemistry b/w characters & The Soundtrack.
Overall after watching first 3 episodes, I'm quite confident it's going to be award contender & it should, because it truly deserves to be recognized.
The first 3 episodes put into highlight the question that "What should be the meaning of Life?" & I put into 1 sentence what the show is asking its audience, in my title.
Hats off to all the people that are part of this wonderful show.

SEASON 2
[Steinfeld 's] performance, perhaps to the surprise of none, is quite good, and partial credit for that goes to how much more liberated Steinfeld is now that the series has wandered beyond what’s known about Dickinson as a person, poet, and genius; she’s better able now to make the role fully hers, vulnerable, sharp, self-assured yet utterly uncertain of herself at the same time, and of course absolutely side-splitting.
The running device of the Nobody apparition makes Season 2, while still raucously funny, a more serious and spooky outing. So does the advance of real-life history, as the Civil War looms closer. ... There is little hard documentation from this period in the poet’s life. All of which frees this show to take poetic license — to tell its version of the truth, but to tell it weirdly, delightfully slant.
Much about this new season of "Dickinson" feels more alive and humorous than its excellent first while maintaining the tension that makes its heroine real to us.
It’s a delightfully kooky universe to inhabit and among the most gorgeous-looking shows currently airing. It is imperfect and strange and easy to love. Sometimes the ride is bumpy, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t worth taking the trip.
Dickinson is the same show it already was, slightly less in some areas, slightly more in others. Like Samuel Bowles, you may be giddy with its presence at times, then unexpectedly bored moments later. But that’s almost by design. Consistency will never be part of Dickinson‘s brand.
Like the cast & characters but lost the charm from Season 1. Very disappointing the lack of story direction. Emily seems self-absorbed with fame. A lot of assumptions to Emily’s true focus and interest. Her writings seems less important in Season 2. I find myself bored by the first 8-10 minutes of every episode. Gotta feeling there will be no season 3.

SEASON 2
I can't believe this is still on. I guess it takes less and less to entertain our society. We need to face the fact that we've run out of ideas for new shows. Everything they make now is just a newer version of an old show, or a twisted version of an old book or character.
