Margaret Lyons New York Times Jul 18, 2024
It is Tudor palace intrigue with shape-shifting, a joyful and breathless more-more-more. A lot of “Jane” adheres, happily, to genre conventions, but it is done with a well-pitched playfulness. Go to Full Review
Camilla Long The Times (UK) Jul 3, 2024
... An enjoyable bit of counterfactual Tudor rumpy entitled My Lady Jane. Go to Full Review
Craig Mathieson The Age (Australia) Jun 28, 2024
3/5
It’s girl power with an “up yours” exuberance. The narrative blithely moves from one scrape to the next, with a backbone of veteran British actors in the supporting ranks. Go to Full Review
Joe Lipsett Hazel & Katniss & Harry & Starr Podcast Feb 6, 2026
4/5
While the adaptation takes a lot of liberties from the book, including aging everyone so they can be horned up all the time, it's the droll voice-over that nails the tone. A bawdry, extremely funny good time. Go to Full Review
Jan Lee The Straits Times (Singapore) Aug 14, 2025
5/5
The series is made stronger by its villains, who are often hilariously and cartoonishly evil antagonists. Go to Full Review
María Juesas Fotogramas Sep 4, 2024
With only 8 episodes, the story unfolds touching almost all genres. Of course, with a skillful and constant sense of humor, which makes 'My Lady Jane' an outstanding series... [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review

Andrea C @RT35257947 4 days ago Gorgeous!!! The casting is perfect. The twists are twisting! The romance is swoony! And, the comedic timing and silliness throughout made it such a delight to watch! TOO BAD AMAZON PRIME IS RUN BY EVIL SOULLESS DEMONS THAT HATE ART AND BEAUTY AND ITS VIEWERSHIP AND FREAKING CANCELLED THIS GEM MERE SECONDS AFTER IT WAS RELEASED. I hope everyone who made this decision gets all their dreams shattered and all their favorite things taken away from them - FOREVER. :) See more Nichole M @hiiinickul Aug 25, 2026 I first stumbled upon My Lady Jane through random clips and posts online, and I was intrigued by its wonderfully baffling tropes! Even though it reimagines a genuinely tragic historical tale, the show manages to create such a light and effortless atmosphere. And if you’re someone who usually avoids history-bending series, honestly? Consider yourself fair-warned right from the opening moments—which actually just adds to the laugh-out-loud comedy of the whole experience. I genuinely enjoyed this mind-boggling series!! I just wish it was renewed for another season. See more Alessia R @Alessia_R Aug 25, 2026 So fun and quirky! It was not what I expected, but so much better. I absolutely loved Emily Bader. See more Dona M @toya67889 Aug 23, 2026 Completely ridiculous, but I mean that as a compliment. The historical setting mixed with fantasy, comedy and romance shouldn't work nearly as well as it does, but I had so much fun with it. See more Charlene T @underlyinglayla Aug 21, 2026 I absolutely love it. I've read two nonfiction accounts of her life so it's really neat to see them reinvent her story into something campy and fun and yet still very much Jane-adjacent. See more Pepa G @Peps736 Jul 13, 2026 I LOVED it and it was SO fun to watch! As a romantasy book girlie, the mixture between the historical setting of 16th-century England spiced up with the magical real of Ethians works like a charm. The chemistry between actors is superb, the soundtrack is epic, the love story makes you feel things, and the side stories makes it a very well wrapped up serie. Prime still has a chance to bring it back given its successful focus on romance and the good chemistry that they have been fostering with book readers. I personally stumbled upon this series after my Off Campus hangover and reading the outstanding reviews the series has been given by critiques and the general audience. See more Read all reviews
