United States	Allison Keene Paste Magazine	"[2nd Season Review]: Remains as jaunty and charming as its formidable lead"	POS
United Kingdom	Molly Moss Radio Times	"[2nd Season Review]: Sally Wainwright’s lesbian period drama is back with new energy – but the show hasn’t lost its heart and soul (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United Kingdom	Alex Goldsmith London Evening Standard	"[2nd Season Review]: The second outing of Sally Wainwright’s period piece is pacy and full of warmth (...) Though she still yearns for the past, it’s a thrill to watch Lister flourish in this new era."	POS
United States	Tim Goodman The Hollywood Reporter	"A great story, well told (...) Jaunty, funny, smart and touching (...) 'Gentleman Jack' works immediately because the moment you see Jones as Lister, you get it"	POS
United States	Sadie Gennis TV Guide	"The chemistry between Sophie Rundle and Suranne Jones is exquisitely palpable (...) [Anne Lister is] one of the most compelling women in British history and one of the most captivating new characters of the year so far"	POS
United States	Caroline Framke Variety	"For the most part, it pays off. Jones and Rundle are wonderful together, each making the absolute most of every emotion Wainwright’s scripts throw their way."	POS
United States	James Poniewozik The New York Times	"Jones’s performance is a marvel, exuding vitality, charisma and sexual confidence (...) It feels as if the characters lived in the present"	POS
United States	Kathryn VanArendonk Vulture	"'Gentleman Jack' gives the impression of not wanting to get too close to anything that might undermine our sympathy for [the protagonist] (...) [It successfully communicates] how unusual Lister was and how adamantly she insisted on being herself"	NEU
United States	Allison Keene Collider	"It is a period domestic drama that feels as intimate as any of Wainwright’s other work. Crisp and gorgeously produced, 'Gentleman Jack' stays small and wonderfully detailed in scope (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
