Dickinson: Season 1 | Rotten Tomatoes

Apple TV+

Watch Dickinson — Season 1 with a subscription on Apple TV+.

Critics Consensus

Audacious and aspirational, Dickinson's bold blend of period-drama and millennial milieu definitely won't be for all, but those looking to break free from the doldrums of their viewing life may find some kind of hope in its singular vision.

This show is unbelievably entertaining. Meshing (embellished) history with present day themes and music and language as well as dreamlike imagery and outstanding acting , it has not ceased to put a smile on my face and keeps me wanting more . I wish it would never end.

Creative, original, and fun. The way they play with time past and present is incredible, the actors are great, and Hailee Steinfeld and Ella Hunt have overwhelming chemistry together.

Was so amazingly done and sooo incredibly entertaining, enjoyable, creative that I actually started to read Emily's poems! Fascinating character and characters in the show! I wish more shows can be a breath of fresh air like this, that has everything in it! Creativeness, comedy, sex, family drama, mental illness, etc! I'm sad it's over but has opened my eyes the the mind and incredible poetry of Emily. I used to loathe poems but her words were off the cuff and remarkable. Profound. This show touched my heart in every way! It enlightened me to a whole piece of history I never knew about. If all shows depicting historical characters as colorful and creative as this, it's a wonderful way to learn. I'll rewatch this show again as that is how enormous and impactful it was. Like Ted Lasso. These 2 shows are GENIUS!!!

So badly done. The modern music is jarring and takes me out of the time period. Unwatchable.

Love this show! Found the history of Emily Dickinson and her work really interesting. As someone who's personally not really a fan of the movies/shows set in old times (1800-1900s) they made it a fun watch with the modern language and music. I really haven't seen such a well made show in a long time.
