    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.

    Is everyone missing the point?

    I've read the user reviews, and people seem to love or hate it. Yet, no one seems to have pointed out the obvious: it is only the kids that speak in "modern slang". The adults are all speaking appropriate to the era. So the underlying theme is the age old concept of kids and adults speaking different languages, and therefore not understanding one another. Schultz did it with the Peanuts characters and more recently Macfarlane with Family Guy. I am a 56 year old WASP, so am the definition of "stuffy" and I throughly enjoy period shows and movies. This was NOT intended to be one of those. Once you let go of that expectation, it is really quite clever and entertaining.

    Outstanding

    The series is stupendous. I like how it connects well with modern times although its a certain period series.

    Everyone in the series have performed decently. It should be noted that this is not an autobiography on Emily Dickinson. Her character & traits have been brought into a modern perspective but still keeping the rebel nature that she had in her period.

    Hailee performed very well for her part and so have the other cast members. I look forward to more of this show.

    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.

    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!

    • Trivia
      Many 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.
    • Goofs
      Maggie 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.
