This show had such potential and I’m utterly disappointed at how lop sided the story line is. I’m a sucker for any period drama; Downton Abbey, Deadwood, The Tudor’s, the Crown, Rome...are all in my top 10 list. So naturally I was very excited when I saw the previews for Gentleman Jack. Unfortunately, the plot focuses way too much on the love affair between Ms Lister & Ms Walker. Scenes just drag on and on and on, “I love you but I’m just so confused and indecisive”..episode after episode. If your lucky you will get 10 - 15 minutes an episode of actual interesting story line following the coal mining, or Ms lister with her family / the help, with 45 minutes of the same conversation on a different day between Lister & Walker. Their relationship just isn’t that interesting, and I hope the show can turn it around now that Ms walker has gone to Scotland, but overall I’m extremely disappointed in a show that I was counting the days until it premiered.
