Season 3 of Dickinson is an emotionally powerful and fulfilling journey through the final seconds of the final episode that found this reviewer’s eyes wet multiple times. ... What Smith has done is use Dickinson’s work as inspiration to create a new, artistic feat of her own (along with the hundreds of other people who work on the series), one that redefines what television can be.
-
There's so much to love about Dickinson's final season, and everything that hooked fans from the beginning is still unabashedly present. ... A phenomenal final season.
-
Steinfeld is reliably magnetic and radiates great confidence. ... The series tries to underscore a connection that’s much more tenuous here than it was in season two, when both Emily and Henry were wrestling with the need to be published. This is one of the few instances this season where the show overplays its hand, but Dickinson easily makes up for it with trenchant commentary on the limits of allyship.
-
I think Smith’s bizarre creation caught on—amid so many voluminous streaming slates padded out with interchangeable titles—because it felt so alive and impassioned, in all its messiness. That emotional momentum kept building, and now it suffuses the show’s third, final and most ambitious season.
-
Steinfeld still conveys the intensity of the creative process, but this final season forces Emily to ask herself if writing enough. ... This final season expands the show into a true ensemble.
-
And yet, with the inevitable arrival of both the Civil War and Sue and Austin’s first baby, this third and final season of Dickinson nevertheless finds new ground to tread. Now, whether that ground is always emotionally consistent—well, that’s another question, entirely. ... That said, Emily herself continues this season to prove a constant wash of genius and heart.

Jan 13, 2022Probably the best comedy show I've ever seen. Seasons 1 and 2 are great, but Season 3 is a masterpiece.
