Alison Herman The Ringer 12/28/2021
...in the final two-thirds of its three-season run, both released in 2021, Dickinson showed there was much more to its setup than met the eye... Go to Full Review
Caroline Framke Variety 02/01/2021
Not everyone will agree with the show's characterization of the historical figure, but its characterization of a young woman who wants more than she's got and feels more than she knows what to do with? Spot on. Go to Full Review
Matthew Gilbert Boston Globe 01/29/2021
A fantasia of storytelling modes, and they do add up to a lot more than a forced effort to be different or to make Dickinson cool for the kids. They add up to a touching portrait of a brilliant young woman. Go to Full Review

9/10
As young Emily Dickinson, Hailee Steinfeld is earnest and intelligent and, above all else, poetic. She brings a passion for living to the retiring, real-life character known as the “Belle of Amherst.” Go to Full Review

With its remarkable second series, Dickinson has established itself as a top-tier period drama in the face of stiff competition... Go to Full Review
Valerie Ettenhofer Film School Rejects 04/19/2021
An ambitious, strange-hearted, wryly funny series from showrunner Alena Smith (The Affair), Dickinson clearly takes the go-big-or-go-home approach to historical anachronism. Go to Full Review

the_real_ s @schopi 01/28/2022 I loved the first season in particular and it's definitely the best season by far. What works really well generally through the whole show is the anachronistic, modern dialogue in the historical setting. It's weird, but if you can tune yourself to it, it works really well. Another overall posiitve is that you can learn a lot about her poetry. The problem is, the show clearly didn't have anywhere to go after the first season, and it's really a good decision that they didn't drag this on longer than the 3 seasons. The quirkiness and weirdness, and the overflowing inventiveness carried the show along, but from season 2 already I felt it had not enough substance beyond the interesting speculation about aspects of her life and the origin of some of her poems. Still, if you're in the mood for something different, this might be for you. See more 01/26/2022 Hailee and Ella are stunning here! The dialogues, the soundtrack, everything is so modern and classy at the same time! Such an art that inspires. I could say it's been magnific watching dickinson's series. See more 01/25/2022 after the blockbuster of first season, season 2 became the most talked show. every mouths , you can hear that Emily as a poet was such a strong women who pseudo patriarchal society tried to demolish her but she didnot stop. she continued to write poem in the form of letters to Sue. the perfect blending of emily dickinson.s personal life and her relation with sue is so pure. i had tears watching them. Hailee, ella, anna, adrian, they are a wholesome. and a perfect team. at the end of this season i felt so much confidence...
