It's disappointing to see the show back off potentially rich opportunities to translate Anne's interiority, which inspired the entire series after all, to the screen.

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...

Gentleman Jack treads a meandering line-sometimes satisfying but often frustrating, a character study whose central figure remains opaque despite her grand illustration.

On the whole, though, the deliberately clashing elements of Gentleman Jack are the things that make it work. They successfully communicate just how unusual Lister was and how adamantly she insisted on being herself.

At first blush, this eight-episode series may look more PBS than HBO, but the second blush is a doozy -- and it would probably send "Masterpiece" pledge-drivers straight to the fainting couch.

Precise, attentive, and beguiling, Jones is such a gust of fresh air, it's tough for the series around her to keep up.
April 22, 2019
Watch [Gentleman Jack] for Jones' forceful, vivacious, smart-as-hell portrayal of a defiant iconoclast who chose to value her own integrity over whatever it was society needed her to value.

Lively, tongue-in-cheek at times and enormously playful, Gentleman Jack is an utter gem of British drama. You can't take your eyes off the central character, and you're drawn into her world and her heart with exquisite ease.
April 19, 2019
It's part romance and part small-town business drama, striking an equilibrium effortlessly and becoming one of the best of the year.

Gentleman Jack keeps its eyes wide open as it examines the fullness of Anne Lister's life.
