Dickinson - Season 1
The series follows more dramatic events about the life of aspiring writer Emily Dickinson. Emily had always aspired to make her voice known to the world, but she was embarrassed by her parents and ignored by society. As days went by, Dickinson never stopped rebelling in her tough life and made her voice heard for everyone around her.

[It's] a teen comedy that re-imagines Emily Dickinson and her life in a way that is bizarre, bold, and entirely entertaining.November 01, 2019
Because Dickinson is more Euphoria meets Riverdale with a dark, comic edge, it takes the pressure off Steinfeld to become a legendary historical figure.October 31, 2019
It doesn't overdo the ironic modernity, instead sprinkling a handful of mild swear words and slang terms into each episode in a way that doesn't take the viewer out of the story. It's pretty artfully done.October 31, 2019
The show liberates Emily from her present-and closes, with a slam, the gap between Emily's world and our own. Dickinson's passion is infectious; one is tempted to start signing emails with glorious, cryptic em-dashes.November 01, 2019
The acting is terrible, and not in a let's-drink-wine-and-make-fun-of-it way. A primary problem is that the children speak in a 2019 manner and the adults speak with the more appropriate antebellum affect.October 31, 2019
It's all very "How do you do, fellow kids?"November 01, 2019
Em's imagination has her changing into this sultry red gown and riding away with Death, whose carriage is pulled by glow-in-the-dark invisible horse outlines and who is played by WIZ KHALIFA in Mad Hatter cosplay. I love ... everything about this?November 01, 2019
Apple's most satisfying and confident treat, without question, is creator Alena Smith's sly comedy "Dickinson" - a surprisingly splendid liberation riff on everyone's favorite 19th-century poet, Emily Dickinson.October 31, 2019
With fresh music, frolicking humor, bizarre flares, and a deep desire to reveal the heart of Emily Dickinson, Dickinson is a show that's easy to fall for.October 28, 2019
It will infuriate staunch Dickinsonites, which is precisely what the poet, who often displayed a delicious sense of irony, would have wanted. What liberty a loosened spirit brings.October 28, 2019
Within Dickinson is the still-nascent potential for something beautiful, waiting to burst forth like a morning glory, so long as its promise is cultivated with care.October 31, 2019
Dickinson shows promise in a number of areas -- among them striking visual language, an irresistible playfulness in the music supervision, and a sense of fun, if not humor, that pervades even scenes about mortality or misogyny.
