Season 1 Review: Even if you know Jane Eyre, you don't know her like this. Read full review

The Hollywood ReporterBarry Garron
Season 1 Review: Scene after scene transports viewers across time and space to a place made vivid and real. By doing all this, the robust, two-part, four-hour "Masterpiece Theatre" program raises the bar for future "Jane Eyre" productions to a level that will not be easily hurdled. Read full review

USA TodayDennis Moore
Season 1 Review: Love, betrayal, despair, redemption, reconciliation. All of the elements expected of any epic love story are included. The distinction here: The story is splendidly retold. Read full review

Los Angeles TimesRobert Lloyd
Season 1 Review: A more than usually steamy "Jane Eyre," it seems to have been made especially to appeal to viewers whose week peaks with "Grey's Anatomy." ... And yet, despite these passages, the production overall comes off as a little dry and dutiful. Read full review
