Gentleman Jack: Season 1

Set in 1832 Halifax, West Yorkshire, and inspired by a remarkable true story, this drama series follows the charismatic Anne Lister (Suranne Jones) as she attempts to revitalize her inherited home—and marry a wealthy heiress (Sophie Rundle). Told over the course of eight episodes, “Gentleman Jack” examines Lister's relationships with her family, servants, tenants, rivals and, most important, her would-be wife.
