I really liked the first season of "Dickinson" and having made it through to the end - at the third time of trying - carried straight on into season Two. This was similar sort of fare, so again, I enjoyed it.
Sue (Ella Hunt) now married to Austin (Adrian Blake Enscoe) introduces Emily (Hailee Steinfeld) to newspaper magnate Samuel Bowles (Finn Jones) who is impressed with her poetry and publishes one in his paper. Austin and Sue's relationship is suffering under the weight of a miscarriage they've suffered. Sue channels her energy into becoming a socialite, but Austin sees a way to help a group of people in dire need of financial support.
Sometimes it's a little rough to review each season of a show in times when essentially not much has changed. There's little really to say other than this is more of the show and this is one of those times. There's only really two new characters, Bowles played by Finn Jones, does a good job of keeping you guessing as to the true nature of his interest in Emily. The other is a lodger and love interest of Livinia, Henry, played by Pico Alexander and whilst he's alright, it's the interactions with Livinia that become a highlight of the series. There's also a fun cameo for Nick Kroll as Edgar Allen Poe.
Each episode is still themed around a particular poem, and the anachronistic language and musical choices remain. The anachronistic language is particularly useful for getting across how young they all are.
Funny actors in a well written, funny comedic drama. What's not to like.
