For a young lady in the 19th century who didn’t quite fit in with society’s expectations of her, Emily Dickinson stood out in more ways than one. Dickinson on Apple TV+ tracks the young poet’s fight with gender stereotypes, society, and family. Set in the past, albeit with modern treatment and tone, the series is a comedic take on this coming-of-age story.

What Are the Critics Saying about Dickinson?
With a 92% approval rating from both the critics and the audience, Dickinson has had an overwhelmingly positive response. Some viewers have even called it a masterpiece!
Judy Berman from TIME writes, “Rooted in an intelligent, wild, sensuous performance from Steinfeld, Dickinson remixes facts, hypotheses, rumors and daydreams about the famously reclusive poet’s life into a buoyantly implausible family dramedy.”
Indiewire’s Kristen Lopez remarks, “Over three seasons, audiences watched Emily fight to be a writer, fight to be published, and now fight to know if her writing changed the world. It did and does, partly through the show’s very existence.”
