    I can't believe this is still on. I guess it takes less and less to entertain our society. We need to face the fact that we've run out of ideas for new shows. Everything they make now is just a newer version of an old show, or a twisted version of an old book or character.

    What an underwhelming and staggeringly badly written season. Instead of opting to delve deeper into its characters and explore the threads that were left at the end of season one, Alena Smith and company instead turn this into a horrendous sitcom-esque season with no depth in sight.

    I don't really see what all the hype is about with season two. Boring is an understatement.

    Are these even the same characters this time around? They feel so changed and not for the better.

    Extremely bland and soulless for a show about a widely beloved poet like Emily Dickinson.

    Like the cast & characters but lost the charm from Season 1. Very disappointing the lack of story direction. Emily seems self-absorbed with fame. A lot of assumptions to Emily’s true focus and interest. Her writings seems less important in Season 2. I find myself bored by the first 8-10 minutes of every episode. Gotta feeling there will be no season 3.

    It’s just wonderful, blending in modern with the old. This isn’t a traditional time piece much like Dickinson didn’t fit to the norms of poetry. Dickinson season 2 isn’t going to be a show for everyone. It doesn’t take itself too seriously nor does it come off as childish and outlandish. There is just enough of both sides to create a unique viewing experience

    Do you want to be Nobody or Somebody?? What a great start to 2021! Dickinson Season 2 begins shortly after end of season 1 & it's Looking even bigger and better than first season.

    All cast members deserves praise.... Hailee, Ella, Anna, Jane, Toby, Adrian, Darlene, Chinaza are really great. Finn & Pico are nice addition to the cast. Story is going good. it's a nice & charming homage to    Do you want to be Nobody or Somebody?? What a great start to 2021!

    Story is going good. it's a nice & charming homage to the Forgotten Emily Dickinson.

    Series also cleverly indicated the problems of 19th century including slavery, racism & women empowerment/independency.

    Show is amazing & catchy with its humor, chemistry b/w characters & The Soundtrack.

    Overall after watching first 3 episodes, I'm quite confident it's going to be award contender & it should, because it truly deserves to be recognized.

    The first 3 episodes put into highlight the question that "What should be the meaning of Life?" & I put into 1 sentence what the show is asking its audience, in my title.

    Hats off to all the people that are part of this wonderful show.    … Expand

    The running device of the Nobody apparition makes Season 2, while still raucously funny, a more serious and spooky outing. So does the advance of real-life history, as the Civil War looms closer. ... There is little hard documentation from this period in the poet’s life. All of which frees this show to take poetic license — to tell its version of the truth, but to tell it weirdly, delightfully slant.

    Dickinson season two is just as searching as its subject, and nearly as eloquent.

    Much about this new season of "Dickinson" feels more alive and humorous than its excellent first while maintaining the tension that makes its heroine real to us.
