Critics' reviews

"[2nd Season Review]: Remains as jaunty and charming as its formidable lead"

Allison Keene: Paste Magazine
"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"

Tim Goodman: The Hollywood Reporter
"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"

Sadie Gennis: TV Guide
"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."

Caroline Framke: Variety
"Jones’s performance is a marvel, exuding vitality, charisma and sexual confidence (...) It feels as if the characters lived in the present"

James Poniewozik: The New York Times
"'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"

Kathryn VanArendonk: Vulture
"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)"
