(Español / English) Miniserie británica basada en los diarios cifrados de Anne Lister, terrateniente (bastante) abiertamente lesbiana en la primera mitad del siglo XIX en Yorkshire, protagonizada por la maravillosa Suranne Jones. Drama de época, retrato social, brillante reconstrucción de época, no rehuye el melodrama ni las contradicciones de clase de su heroína, apoyado en el brillante protagonismo de Suranne Jones y el gran elenco que la secunda. Es de HBO y la BBC. ................................................................................................................................................. Lesbian but landowner British miniseries based on the encrypted diaries of Anne Lister, a (rather) openly lesbian landowner in the first half of the 19th century in Yorkshire, starring the wonderful Suranne Jones. Period drama, social portrait, brilliant period reconstruction, does not shy away from melodrama or class contradictions of her heroine, supported by the brilliant role of Suranne Jones and the great cast that supports her. It's from HBO and the BBC.

Excellent Sunday evening light entertainment .Initially rather cartoonish in terms of several character's behaviours and dialogue, imho , but the series steadily filled out and particularly over the last three episodes . A second series seems certain given the many clues and pointers . There are several candidates primed for strong future 'villain' star roles and this Halifax 'History ' looks set to play for some time . As with so many BBC Drama flag ships the production values and acting standard was near faultless . Mrs Akers/ Jones deserves every plaudit .

Brilliant! Moving, funny, transgressive! Suranne Jones is magnificent as Ann Lister, she and Sophie Rundle as Anne Walker bring a depth and vibrancy to their characters that is a rare treat. Sally Wainwright has delivered a masterpeice. I am blown away by the script, acting, and story.

Wonderful acting that depicts the period so well. Our family all agree, it's the best series on TV right now

Incredibly great show! A+++ 10 stars! Witty and unique! Gentleman Jack is must see TV!
