Yorkshire, 1834. All eyes are on Anne Lister and Ann Walker as they set up home together at Shibden Hall as wife and wife, determined to combine their estates and become a power couple. Anne Lister’s entrepreneurial spirit frightens the locals as much as her unconventional love life and, with Halifax on the brink of revolution, her refusal to keep a low profile becomes provocative and dangerous.

A review by Peter McGinn
Written by Peter McGinn on 2020-09-27
This series had at least two things going for it, in my view. Creator/director Sally Wainwright and star Suranne Jones as Anne Lister. It presents an interesting juxtaposition: it is a costume drama from the early 1800s, but also tells the story of a woman who tried to live her life as a man, quite amazing at that time.

The story held my interest easily, with strong writing and, as is always the case with Wainwright’s creations, an excellent ensemble cast to back up Jones. Timothy West and Gemma Jones, just to mention two. Apparently there will be a second seri3s to continue the story.
