"Gentleman Jack" | Watch Now on Hulu or HBO Max
Plot: A dramatization of the life of LGBTQ+ trailblazer, voracious learner, and cryptic diarist Anne Lister, who returns to Halifax, West Yorkshire in 1832, determined to transform the fate of her faded ancestral home Shibden Hall.
Our Take: Although set in the 1800s, this series has a very modern feel as the incredible Suranne Jones breaks the fourth wall as Anne Lister, addresses you directly, and brings you along on her riveting journey to grow her business, save her estate, and find a wife. If you are looking for a sprawling romantic period drama centered on compelling women, you will not be disappointed. — Vanessa
