Something we love about Dickinson is how it positions the classic poet as a revolutionary woman, disinterested in marriage or having kids — and only interested in Death as a metaphor (aka Wiz Khalifa). Gentleman Jack is similar in this aspect, depicting landowner Anne Lister as a woman who refuses to comply with society's expectations of her. Set in 1830s England, Anne attempts to save her ancestral home Shibden Hall while gallantly charming her way into high society — and savoring her independence.
