It's 1832 in West Yorkshire, England -- the cradle of the evolving Industrial Revolution -- where landowner Anne Lister is determined to save her faded ancestral home, Shibden Hall, even if it means bucking society's expectations. In addition to reopening the coal mines, a part of Lister's plan to help her family is to marry well. But the charismatic, single-minded Lister -- who dresses head-to-toe in black and charms her way into high society -- has no intention of marrying a man. "Gentleman Jack" examines Lister's relationships with her family, servants, tenants and industrial rivals, and would-be wife. The real-life Anne Lister's story was recorded in her diaries, and the most intimate details of her life are revealed for the series.

4/5
She’s no saint, but she remains a riveting figure -- and Wainwright’s series a rip-roaring romp. Go to Full Review Matthew Gilbert Boston Globe 05/06/2022
Jones gives a big, charismatic performance, to match Anne’s big, charismatic personality, but she isn’t chewing up scenery or anything like that. She has many subtle -- and sublime -- small moments. Go to Full Review Allison Keene Paste Magazine 04/25/2022
8.6/10
Gentleman Jack Season 2 is unexpectedly a comfort watch. It’s intimate and welcoming, with cozy settings by crackling fireplaces, and warm interiors of carriages and estates upon the misty Yorkshire Dales. Go to Full Review Christopher Stevens Daily Mail (UK) 06/23/2022
2/5
The trouble with this period drama, based on the 1830s diaries of the stridently lesbian Miss Lister, is that it’s hard to care about her fiscal affairs. Go to Full Review Charlotte Manning metro.co.uk 06/23/2022
4.5/5
Visually, this is one of the most beautiful things you’ll watch all year. From the carefully crafted period costumes adorned with curls and corsets to the stunning Yorkshire scenery, which helps the show retain so much charm. Go to Full Review Alison Lanier Pajiba 06/08/2022
A tremendous and complicated character study that has lost none of its heart, charm, or momentum in stretching to a second season. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
