I enjoyed this show quite a bit though I would find myself looking away when some of the less interesting plotlines came into play. What I think it does well is using the setting to show us just how much progress we've made and at the same time also how little progress we've made since Dickinson's day. We're still struggling against racism and sexism today. I find it more than believable that even great poets could have been temperamental brats. I really like Hailee Steinfeld's portrayal of a spoilt young woman who is too brilliant and different for her own good. Even when I'm mad at Emily for some of her choices, I can't hate her.
