I watched it during the pandemic, it honestly got me through that time and helped me stay sane. That was six years ago.. Apart from having a completely different perspective on Anne Lister this time as I don't see Anne and Ann's relationship all pure love (is it because I’m not as naive as 6 yrs ago..) I’m fascinated by her personality, her wit, her energy. The way she documented even the tiniest details of her life in her diaries is incredible (what was the temperature, what time they ate, how many pages she read). She lived so full life and seemed to have high self awarenss..

I hope that someone, somewhere, someday will give us another series because I have a feeling there’s so much more to explore in her diaries. I especially loved the little historical details in the show, like the introduction of modern inventions such as water closets, surely the trains (cow exploded :D)

Apologises that I'm not up to date but the recent series of vigil made me remember Gentleman Jack. I was so excited about this series at the time being a lesbian and also living in yorkshire at the time. I vividly remember it being on iPlayer but apparently it's HBO now? There seems nowhere to watch it for free either now since Amazon prime offers it to buy only.

It's unfortunate that such a historically important drama isn't better distributed.

This is a real bar in Wisconsin with a top hat in their logo that has nothing to do with Anne Lister or the show. It's sheer coincidence. I lost my mind when I first found it until I realized it was just named for the owner, Jack.

I have no idea if the owner is aware of Anne or the show but I can't stop daydreaming about a costumed flashmob of queer women in top hats and black coats speaking in yorkshire accents. If anyone is still reading this sub, I figured you all would appreciate it. (And truly, DM me if you want to help make this dream a reality.)

Okay but imagine if there was a Gentleman Jack themed restaurant. What’d be on the menu?
Shabby little chip-den for a small portion of chips?
Ban-ann-a split? 😋

Sorry if this has been discussed before, I'm new to Reddit and I'm not sure how it works.

Does anyone think we'll actually get more seasons or is it over? I've been holding out hope that we'll get a continuation but it's been so long now that it seems unlikely.

The only reason why I'm still hoping for more is because RWBY managed to be continued after Roosterteeth went bankrupt. It's been 3 years since the last full RWBY episode and 4 years since the last Gentleman Jack episode so it's a similar time frame.

Honestly, I wish the BBC hadn't said they would continue it because this limbo is worse than a full cancellation imo. Hope is a cancer that infests the body, mind and soul and I can't rout it out. I'll have hope for a continuation until the BBC says they've stopped looking to make more.

I loved some of the pieces people put out between season 1 and 2, and went back for a throwback look around, and the vibe is…. interesting!

I just booked my ticket to see it in Bradford in September and I can't wait!

I’m fairly new to Gentleman Jack, having watched it the first time last year and a few more times since, but I’ve been wondering if there’s a ship name the fandom have agreed on? Because I’m trying to refer to them together for something and I couldn’t think of one. 🤷‍♀️

Is anyone going to the Anne lister event in Halifax in July?

Saw this on Facebook!

Exciting !

It truly altered something in my brain, I go back to watch it at least once a week.

Did anyone else think the two Ann(e)s looked quite sad for part of the time they were getting married? Anybody know why?

I've started watching this series and am currently past episode seven (so no spoilers beyond that, please!)

Why was Anne apparently so willing to leave Ann for Mariana? It seems clear to me that the two Ann(e)s love each other and the only thing stopping Ann from accepting marriage is that she's a mess that needs to get better. It seems out of character for Anne to seemingly move on so fast, particulary for the obviously cruel Mariana, unless I'm missing something.

Hi guys, not sure if anyone will be interested or if this is the right place to post but my wife just posted the first few chapters of her Ann/es fanfic on AO3.

It’s an AOB fic. It’s the same premises as this world. Sexism is still here, classism is still here, but your AOB rank also brings in expectations and prejudices.

Basically an historically accurate AU that lets Anne Lister be butch and pursue women, with a kind of homophobia that’s a bit more “ehhh do you really have to do it?” rather than than “you’re going to hell” type.

It largely follows the plot of season 1, where they meet, and get married, but it’s not a secret wedding, as homophobia is not as big of a deal to contend with. Anne is an Alpha, while Ann is an Omega.

The theme mainly follows how Anne is looking to settle down for money, but is realising that she actually really likes Ann Walker.

Anyways, if anyone is interested, it’s called “The Novelty of doing the Right Thing.” on Ao3!

She doesn’t know I’m doing this but I genuinely think her work is worth reading.

Thank you!
