Beautiful
I came for Hailee Steinfeld and I stayed for the quality; bold, inspirational, "old" but that surrounds you to also feel in the present, I loved the realities in Emily's mind, sometimes they are uncomfortable but interesting.
This is not a biopic of Emily Dickinson! It's better!
Do not watch this with the intention of it being a biopic.
It's fun, it's moving and it's a ride to enjoy!
Absolutely Adored it!!!
I watch it and, re-watched it again. I understand this may not be for everyone. However, as far as myself, I wish there was more show like this. I enjoyed every character. I especially enjoyed the way Hailee Steinfeld portrayed Emily Dickenson.
This is not your typical "Cookie Cutter" series. For me; it was a very pleasant surprise. And yes, I am already looking forward to watching it again.

A great rendition of Emily Dickinson
One of my favorite parts of my studies at university was getting to learn about the life of Emily Dickinson. I always had an idea of what she would have been like, and this show got it spot on. Three words always come to mind while thinking of the real Dickinson: wild, eccentric, and queer (both in personality and sexuality). Hailee Steinfeld did an amazing job in her portrayal of Emily Dickinson. Also, I think the anachronisms were done remarkably well in this show compared to other uses I have seen in other film and television.
Incredible. A triumph.
I can not comprehend why this has such a low rating on here. I was mind blown. Tore through the series in a day. Hailee is Emmy-worthy and it's a fresh, unique show. Can't wait for season 2.
Make your own decisions, like Emily.

- TriviaMany characters are named after real life contemporaries of Emily Dickinson in Amherst. For example, Abby and Abiah are inspired by real people but, contrary to the 'mean girls antagonist' personas portrayed they were both close friends with Emily and remained life-long correspondents with her.
- GoofsMaggie is depicted as being an adult woman, older than Emily and Lavinia. In reality, Maggie was over a decade younger than Emily and would have been in her early teens at the time of the series. Maggie did not begin working for the Dickinsons until the 1860s.
