More Critic Reviews for Gentleman Jack Season 1 All Critics (44) | Top Critics (17) | Fresh (39) | Rotten (5) Gentleman Jack is a sparkling delight. May 31, 2019 | Rating: 5/5 | Full Review… Suzi Feay Financial Times Top Critic Reveals everything that is wrong with colour-by-numbers costume dramas -- because it isn't one... It's not so much that it's a different story (though it is) as that it's a different way of doing that story. May 29, 2019 | Full Review… Pippa Bailey New Statesman Top Critic 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...

Jun 26, 2019 | Full Review… Penny Murray Stuff.co.nz The first season of Gentleman Jack is a largely amiable watch, putting a character we've not seen before in a series that feels quaintly familiar. Jun 21, 2019 | Full Review… Emily Wheeler Film Inquiry Sally Wainwright has created a truly pleasurable, sometimes painful, often amusing story of a woman looking for love but born into the wrong body and the wrong time in history. Jun 17, 2019 | Full Review… Diane Pershing Malibu Times Gentleman Jack is wonderful and delicious and a hoot... This is period drama reworked with wit, energy and verve.

Lead actress has a unequaled charisma. Good old-fashioned storytelling. Clementine G Aug 28, 2019 Suranne is brillant. Sera C Aug 09, 2019 The serie is very witty and pleasurable to watch. The strong character of Anne Lister is not the only good thing in the serie, though. I really appreciated the looks staight into the camera, which made it even more interesting to watch. It is a well written story with good acting and amazing costumes. Sara S Aug 05, 2019 Fantastic. Suranne Jones is amazing. Well written, and performed. Sarah V Jul 20, 2019 Yes, it's that good! Becca D Jul 18, 2019 A great adaptation of a real-life romance. Though there were some liberties taken I'm sure. Anne Lister is so attractive and alluring that most women will be drawn to her. Ms. Lister's signature music is fitting and iconic. The series shows a world where women must fight for respect and challenge societies ideas of sexuality. Madeline M Jul 16, 2019 Fantastic acting and directing a fabulous story of a woman that was nearly lost in history a must watch Natalie B Jul 15, 2019 Best show on TV hands down! Suranne Jones and Sophie Rundle have better chemistry then anyone else on TV today. I sincerely hope they both are nominated for awards. Margaret W Jul 07, 2019 Great series overall; Suranne and Sophie were perfect cast choices. Elaine M Jun 14, 2019 After Game of Thrones ended, I was in TV limbo. Then I acted the first episode of GJ (Gentleman Jack) and was instantly hooked. I na very heard of Anne Lister before the series. A fascinating and dynamic woman. Great cast, fun to watch and entertaining. Highly recommend.
