Season 1 Review:
Turner and Dillane’s magnetic pull toward each other is captured perfectly on screen. A deep understanding and a ribbon of distrust add to their intense chemistry. Like most British dramas, nothing is wasted in “Joan.” The limited series is nimble and engaging without the superfluous characters and plot points that often clog up American television shows.

Season 1 Review:
It seemed obvious that some hardships were being glossed over to present a zippy, mesmerising tale set to a banging 1980s soundtrack. I’m sure life for the real Joan Hannington was much harder than it’s made out here. But Turner steals every scene with a magnetic performance.

Season 1 Review:
It’s a better performance than this drama often deserves, and one worth tuning in to see, though many viewers will likely find themselves wondering what might have been had the show leaned in a bit harder into showing us Joan’s rough edges. Maybe Season 2, should it exist, will.
