My Lady Jane

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.

I gave My Lady Jane a 7, and my biggest heartbreak is that it was wasted-canceled after just two seasons when it had so much more to offer. This series had all the makings of a cult classic: sharp storytelling, a unique and playful twist on history, and absolutely electric chemistry between the leads.

One of the show's strongest aspects was its portrayal of powerful, independent female characters. My Lady Jane didn't just give us passive historical figures; it reimagined them as bold, witty, and fearless women who refused to be defined by the limitations of their time. The female leads weren't just love interests or damsels in distress-they were the heart of the story, making their own choices, fighting their own battles, and driving the narrative forward with intelligence and charisma.

The show's lighthearted yet clever approach to historical fiction made it stand out. It didn't take itself too seriously, yet it managed to weave a compelling and engaging tale filled with humor, adventure, and undeniable charm. The chemistry between the main characters was pure magic-natural, dynamic, and full of the kind of energy that makes you instantly invested in their journey.

It's frustrating to see a series with such potential get cut short, especially when it had just begun to hit its stride. My Lady Jane may not have had the chance to fully develop its story, but what it did deliver was undeniably entertaining. If you love period dramas that celebrate strong women, clever storytelling, and witty romance, this one is definitely worth watching-just be prepared to be left wanting more.

It is quite a rare thing to find a show that is able to capture your attention right off the bat, without stumbling or falling short of living up to its premise. This show has so much going for it, starting with the lovable characters, who you can't help but find entertaining despite their appalling actions. The writing is very funny without sacrificing the seriousness of the situations the characters are thrown in. And the cast is all so incredibly talented, everything about this show works perfectly together.

This show doesn't need to find its footing, it's already an incredibly well made television show. What this show needs is support and time to make people aware of this show, so that they may fall in love with its witty writing, riveting plot and beating heart.

This is a hate letter to prime video, please do not give up on this rare gem of a show.

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.

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!
