Season 2 Review:
Gentleman Jack seemed intent on boring [viewers] to death. I like this show but, for the love of God, if I have to hear another word about railway shares or double canal locks or the Navigation Acts I will slip into a coma. How Suranne Jones remembers all these tedious lines and delivers them perfectly is a miracle. She could, though, do with dialling down the redoubtable marching, the gurning and the brusque checking of her pocket watch, because Anne Lister is in danger of caricature.

Brilliant! Moving, funny, transgressive! Suranne Jones is magnificent as Ann Lister, she and Sophie Rundle as Anne Walker bring a depth and vibrancy to their characters that is a rare treat. Sally Wainwright has delivered a masterpeice. I am blown away by the script, acting, and story.
