My Lady Jane

At the start, I thought hated it. The overt anachronisms, ridiculous fantasy elements, and conscious attempt to shock with body humour and bad language made me think this was just going to be another puerile, brainless historical farce. But I have to admit, some great performances from the two veteran comedy actors (Rob Brydon and Anna Chancellor), kept me from turning it off. By the end of the episode I was interested enough to give the second episode a watch. By the end of that, I'd bought into the premise, was totally on board with the silliness, and thoroughly enjoying the chemistry between the two leads. No, it's not a historical drama, it's more like alternate history and historical fantasy. If you take it for what it's meant to be, it's a very enjoyable watch. And the romance is swoon worthy enough for me to want a second season to give them a happy ever after.

This show is a fun ride. If you don't take it too seriously, you'll love this show. I binged it all in one day, and can't wait for season 2.

The show seems to be Amazon's version of Bridgerton and I'm here for it. Unlike Bridgerton, I took this show to be somewhat of a satire.

The main characters are enticing and charismatic. The casting is well done, and you'll find yourself wanting the villain to be desperately killed by the end of it. And I think that always make a great villain.

Give the show a chance, and I think you'll enjoy it as well (that is if you are into romantic period pieces meets unrealistic fantasy). Just remember it's ridiculous and that's okay.

There is substance to the silly fantasy, well written, well acted, well designed. With strong female characters at every turn. Adventure, fantasy, romance, logic.

Modern music, modern slang, edgy storytelling, and enjoyable narration.

And while they change history, they remain true to many details about the time period and source material.

I love all of the characters, they are all well written.

Beyond worthy of a second season.

(9/10 only because I am a costume designer and there are a couple tiny period inaccuracies, but I still LOVE the costume design. Beautiful fabrics, well made costumes, clearly drew from period portraiture)

Prime video - bring it back for season 2. This is the best content you've put out in years. It's absolutely insane that you would cancel this show after one season. There is a huge following for this show after such a short time. This show brought even more viewers than Bridgerton! Look at the numbers! There's still time to bring it back!!!!!!!! I will literally review on every site possible to get this show back we need to fix this wrong prime video! Stat!!!!!! If I don't get a second season I will discontinue my membership with prime video, no questions asked. Here for great vibes and great sound tracks to come!

I stumbled upon this little gem around 1:30am this morning. Unwilling to go to bed at an appropriate time, I was willing to cast about looking for something entertaining. And found myself watching about half of My Lady Jane in one sitting. Quirky. Fun costumes and beautiful settings. Really great actors. What's not to like? It draws you in and keeps your interest.

As a "person of age" (over 60), I still flinch at some casting choices which don't make historic sense, but this series is all about changing history and is clearly a fantasy with characters turning into animals. So those casting choices get a pass.

This show reminds me of "Pushing Daisies", a show which was excellent and had so much potential, BUT.... for whatever reason -- behind- the- scenes politics (?) or ineptitude (?) on someone's part, it failed to be advertised.

I only discovered it after the decision to cancel it was made. So BOO on the idiot committee who decided to cancel this fascinating and well written show.

Someone said they didn't know their audience, but I can say that the audience for this is absolutely women of ALL ages. Even us older gals had lives before we matured. Interesting storylines and love stories are both timeless and ageless. I'll mourn what this show could have been in it's second season and beyond.
