Based on the real-life story of Anne Lister, Gentleman Jack is anchored by a towering performance from Suranne Jones. Over the course of the first season, Anne swaggers around the small town of West Yorkshire in search of a wife, while also scandalizing the community by daring to manage her family's finances. Ultimately, she finds love with the timid Ann Walker, and in the process, the series becomes an epic love story about defying conventions.
Gentleman Jack is a sexy, bold series that completely flips the traditional period-drama narrative on its head. This is a show about a woman in want of a wife, and trust me, no one would ever dare get in Anne's way.
Watch Gentleman Jack on HBO Max.
