When Alena Smith sat down to tell the untold tale of famed poet Emily Dickinson, she imagined a three-year television series. She sold the show straight to series to Apple TV Plus in May 2018, more than a year before that streamer would even launch. To say that Smith’s goal of three seasons at an unproven entity had to come with risk and hope may be an understatement. But she was able to carry her original plan to fruition, and now “Dickinson” is the first Apple TV Plus series to conclude its run having carried out its creator’s vision.
“In Season 3 we’ve lived through a lot with these characters, we’ve all grown and changed and their relationships have certainly deepened over time, and to just honor all of that history was really rewarding,” Smith tells Variety.
“To me, this whole series is really one work of art.

As the country becomes increasingly, bitterly divided and people desperately want things to return to “normal,” the question of how much art can contribute to society crops up repeatedly. Once again, series creator Alena Smith reflects our present back to us with her radical retelling of Emily Dickinson’s life in “Dickinson,” where the third and final season finds the Civil War in full swing and everyone reconsidering their lives.
In the wake of her crash and burn at chasing fame, Emily (Hailee Steinfeld) pursues a new purpose for writing, putting pen to paper for the grander purpose of instilling hope in both her family and the troops. Steinfeld’s best work throughout the series has been in steering Emily through her own misguided reasons for creating, whether it’s a poem, more time with her lover Sue (Ella Hunt), or harmony within her family. But the cold realization for...

Though the series is entitled Dickinson, the name could theoretically be a misnomer as it is the middle Dickinson child Emily, not her family, that is front and center most of the time.
Her family is merely supporting players in a story that centers around one of the greatest literary poets of all time.
However, Dickinson Season 2 Episode 9 switched things up a bit by having Emily be a secondary character to her family this time around, particularly to Austin, who found himself thrust into the spotlight.
While this wasn't an Austin-centric episode by any means, the eldest Dickinson stepped into the leading role, giving actor Adrian Enscoe the chance to shine.
Enscoe flawlessly managed to shift between Austin's anger, confusion, and despair throughout the episode, the character's pain almost palpable as Austin was reduced to tears over feeling like a failure.
Throughout Dickinson Season 1, Austin was a character who was hard to root for.

There is a moment in the middle of the second season of Apple TV+’s flagship series “Dickinson” that is one of the best scenes of the series to date. There are no frills or frippery. There’s no hip-hop or dancing or anachronistic winks. It’s a simple scene between two people in which all pretense is set aside in favor of plain speech and harsh truths.
And it might break the show.
The scene in question centers on the titular protagonist, the young poetess about whom little is known and much is theorized, and it appears that Emily (Hailee Steinfeld) has finally gotten her comeuppance. Often described as moody and eccentric, her actions have finally crossed the line into creepy and those whose boundaries she trampled feel violated. It’s harsh, but necessary, as the series spends so much time in Emily’s head and with her loved...

In her meditations on fame, Emily Dickinson deemed it to be “a fickle food.” The second season of Apple TV Plus’ series on the famous poet is all about Emily getting a taste.
After a first season which saw Emily (played by Hailee Steinfeld) tussle with her father over her aspirations to become a published writer, Season 2 of “Dickinson” explores whether or not Emily is prepared for or is fully aware of the consequences that come with being published.
“It’s the daunting idea and outcome of possible fame and attention that she’s never experienced before,” says Steinfeld. “She goes on this search for answers to these questions of, what is fame and is fame something I even want? Is it something I can get rid of once I have it?”
That golden ticket to fame and getting published is offered to her by local newspaper mogul Sam Bowles...

After over a year of waiting, Dickinson Season 2 returns Thursday, Jan. 8.
The first three episodes drop on that date, followed by weekly episodes through the end of February.
TV Fanatic had the chance to speak with some of the cast and creator Alena Smith about what lies in store for our favorite historical figures.
While Dickinson Season 1 Episode 10 culminated with Austin and Sue's marriage, the newlyweds have moved beyond the honeymoon stage this season, finding themselves at odds on some big issues and growing further apart.
"I think I can speak for both of us when I say that it was so much fun playing the dysfunctionality marriage that is, like falling apart," said Ella Hunt, who plays Sue.
"And the fact to grapple with all the 19th century is that in an unhappy and loveless marriage, divorce doesn't exist. It's like we have to find ways of making this work.

Midway through Season Two of Apple TV+’s Dickinson, Aunt Lavinia (Jessica Hecht) takes all the Dickinson women out for a 19th century spa day, promising that by the end of it, “You won’t be the same sick, disease-ridden, melancholy women you are right now.” The show’s title character, rebellious young poet Emily Dickinson (Hailee Steinfeld) considers this promise, then asks, “What if that’s my brand?”

The Apple TV+ series “Dickinson,” an offbeat take on the life and times of poet Emily Dickinson, held an online watch party to promote the series for Emmy consideration, and as part of that event shared a new music video for Hailee Steinfeld‘s original song for the series “Afterlife,” which was performed at a safe social distance by Steinfeld along with her on-screen parents Jane Krakowski and Toby Huss and her TV siblings Adrian Enscoe and Anna Baryshnikov. Scroll down to see the video below.
Emily Dickinson lived during the 19th century, but this series explores that era with modern sensibilities and language. It explores the famed poet’s writing — and the disapproval of her old-fashioned father — as well as her love for her brother’s fiance Sue Gilbert (Ella Hunt).

Emily Dickinson‘s most famous poem (“Because I could not stop for Death – He kindly stopped for me”) is front and center in Apple’s gothic comedy series “Dickinson.” Actress and singer/songwriter Hailee Steinfeld portrays the title character in this coming-of-age dramedy set in the 1800s, though with a modern sensibility. Throughout the 10-episode first season, which debuted November 1 on Apple TV+, Emily deals with her sexuality, her burgeoning career and her curious fascination with death. With Steinfeld’s star on the rise, will awards voters “kindly stop” for her on their way to filling out their ballots?
Steinfeld is no stranger to awards, earning an Oscar nomination for “True Grit” (2010) and a Golden Globe bid for “The Edge of Seventeen” (2016). In addition, she took home the Critics’ Choice Award for “True Grit” as Best Young Actor/Actress when she was only 14.

Apple TV+ goes live on Friday and with the rollout releases four dramas and a documentary as well as some children's programming.
It's unclear exactly how each show will be debuting, but Apple has previously said that most shows will launch with three new episodes to start with weekly rollouts to follow, but others might drop entire seasons at once.
I've had the opportunity to view many of the Apple shows including The Morning Show, For All Mankind, Dickinson, and See, as well as the stunning documentary The Elephant Queen.

AppleTV+'s Dickinson is a queer, feminist romp of a TV series with room to grow.

tumblr
This Dickinson review is based on the first three episodes of the 10-episode first season.
Dickinson, AppleTV+'s dramedy starring the always highly-watchable Hailee Steinfeld as the famous American poet, is a joyfully irreverent send-up of the entire historical drama genre in the tradition of Marie Antoinette. Like that cinematic classic, Dickinson recognizes that there is only narrow historical truth to be found in the arbitrary rules of a Serious Costume Drama, and even less room for diversity. There is just as much truth to be found in the things that evoke the authenticity of life long past through the lens of today's culture, which is to say: Lizzo.
Dickinson follows teenage rebel writer Emily (a spirited Steinfeld) in 1850s Massachusetts as she chafes against the gendered expectations of her family and Amherst society.
