Gentleman Jack (2019–2022)
6/10
Liked first season, second season was unpleasant
17 June 2023
I liked the first season, and would rate that an 8. I liked the lead character, and enjoyed her courage and intellect.

But season 2 was very unpleasant, and depressing, and we are given a totally different view of the lead character. In season 2 she comes across as MUCH more manipulative, and mercenary, and controlling and money grubbing - and it's just depressing to watch her machinations to control her wealthy love interest.

It's nice to see the wealthy woman learn to stand up for herself and speak out about what she wants, and become her own person - but - I'm really surprised none of the reviews, except for one or two talk about how unfinished the end of the last episode of season 2 is.

It's obvious that the writers expected there to be a third season, because we are just left hanging at the end of ep. 8 of season 2.

I recommend you watch season 1. Skip season 2. It's just not fun to watch. I stuck it out to see what happened, and because I was committed - but I wish I didn't. I just keep coming back to the word unpleasant. That's how season 2 felt.
