Air date: Jun 10, 2019 More Critic Reviews for Gentleman Jack Season 1 All Critics (33) | Top Critics (15) | Fresh (29) | Rotten (4) Can you tell that I think Gentleman Jack is huge fun?... This, of course, is largely thanks to its prodigiously talented and singular writer, Sally Wainwright, who has given herself license not to worry too much about Victorian mores. May 20, 2019 | Full Review… Rachel Cooke New Statesman Top Critic It's hard to craft a drama around a person who seems to be invulnerable... The pity is that Anne Lister, a truly audacious, difficult, and groundbreaking woman, ends up with a biographical portrait that's anything but. Apr 24, 2019 | Full Review… Sophie Gilbert The Atlantic Top Critic Precise, attentive, and beguiling, Jones is such a gust of fresh air, it's tough for the series around her to keep up. Apr 22, 2019 | Rating: B | Full Review… Ben Travers indieWire Top Critic Between Wainwright's crisp, fair-minded scripts and star Suranne Jones' flawless performance, it's tempting to believe that Anne Lister was the most fascinating person of the 19th century... Apr 19, 2019 | Full Review… Inkoo Kang Slate Top Critic Jones is wonderful as Lister, striding confidently around, wry, indomitable and smart as a whip, with top hat and twirling cane, like the heroine of some steampunk novel set in an alt-Victorian England. May 24, 2019 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review… Pat Stacey The Herald (Ireland) The only thing to frighten the horses in last night's opening episode was that a woman asked for what she wanted and expected to get it. She behaved, in short, like a man. Phwoar! How sexy is that? May 24, 2019 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review… Alison Rowat The Herald (Scotland) Jones has devised a ramrod-straight power-walk to convey her character's energy and strength. May 21, 2019 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review… Adam Sweeting The Arts Desk Lister was just waiting to be made a popular icon. Wainwright, who wrote and directed this eight-part series, clearly thinks so. Her delight in the character hums off the screen. May 20, 2019 | Full Review… Louisa Mellor Den of Geek When Jones is in full confrontation mode, literally getting in the face of any chap with the temerity to stand in her way, you scarcely care, such is the haughty energy she powers into this impressive if not entirely lovable character. May 20, 2019 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review… Keith Watson Metro (UK) This is its own programme, a confident, smart period drama with fabulous sets and costumes, especially Anne's top hats and black suits, and a large warm heart. May 20, 2019 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review… Ed Cumming Independent (UK) Top Critic View All Critic Reviews (33) Audience Reviews for Gentleman Jack: Season 1 The best TV program I have ever seen, regardless of genre.
