Gentleman Jack

I love it because it’s not just about Anne being “oooo a lesbian! In the early 1800s! We’re so woke!” but development of a really rich character. Suranne has absolutely rocked the role.

I don’t love it The last series I couldn’t wait to watch but I’ve recorded this series & still have the last 2 episodes to watch, it’s really boring!

Not a lot seems to happen. They’ve completely forgotten the pig story with the farmer. I also can’t keep up with all the different names. Seem to be so many. I never had that trouble with Downton

 

[Practically Perfect]

Total girl crush on Suranne Jones as Anne Lister. So would. Anyone else watching?

I posted on another thread that I'm not enjoying it as much as first series....but I am still enjoying it enough to stick with it. Have to say I am more interested in the family with the pigs storyline.

My family know not to talk to me when it comes on. Best thing on telly at the minute.

I loved this last series. I just can’t get on with this year. I’m watching it out of loyalty, but Anne Lister is really irritating me

I am so glad, I do like a period drama on a Sunday night and this one is great. The stuff to the camera has me in stitches. And for an hour a week I wonder about my sexuality as I fancy the pants/skirt off her Which is weird as I didn't fancy her at all in Dr Foster.

Villanelle, Killing Eve, has much the same effect and again in Dr Foster, I felt nothing. The mister gives me proper side eye. Just shows what great actresses they both are.

I am happy the story of Anne is getting out more too; I remember a BBC drama that was made about 10 years ago with Maxine Peak, i think it was a 2 parter and Sue Perkins did a follow up documentary about her so i have been intrigued by the story for a while. I have tried to find it on Youtube but they only have a 2 min trailer. There are some good interviews with Suranne and Sally the writer that are worth a watch.

No the pig story has been mentioned, one man was asking where the boys father was then in the next episode the man had also disappeared (to the same pig fate I think)

Im loving this so far this season.

For anyone interested, HBO have pulled out as the production partner of Gentleman Jack. BBC not made any announcement as yet. Hoping for a series 3 and a new production partner to come on board; I've read Anne Lister's diaries and there is so much more great stuff to come that I need to see Suranne Jones and Sophie Rundle play out! Its so different to anything on tv, I'll be gutted if this is the end

I'm loving it, it's brilliant. Plus, the good news is they're going to do another series next year

 

[Alightened]

Interesting....

 

[Sybil]

What are we all thinking of series two??

 

[Hope96]

Who was in the paper in the wedding announcements?

Anne Lister (Gentleman Jack) and Ann Walker.

I'm on the other side of the Pennines but its going on my 'places to visit' list. The mister is yorkshire born and bred so he drags me over them there hills often.

I knew I was going to love it when Anne first appeared on the Carriage and says hello to the servant guy and he replied "how do". Proper Yorkshire, love it.

 

[Alightened]

Yep, I'm Yorkshire born and bred. "How do"

I’m loving it! Suranne Jones rocks a top hat

 

[MissElizaBennet]

I've visited Shibden Hall where it's filmed, I can't wait to go back now I've watched the series.

I visited a month ago. What a beautiful place and so interesting. Well worth a visit.

I’m watching. Stupendous acting from Suranne.
