Thank you! I was watching that scene wondering if it was just me feeling like there were so many hilarious moments: the conversation with Marian, Anne loading the pistol (or whatever she was doing), Ann watching and moving aside all smitten, the 'plum pudding apology'...so hilarious, so many layers.
Wow! That is so great that the BBC invited you to the screening. That is very, very cool. 👍. They recognize an influencer when they see one. 👍. And you got to meet Suranne! Excellent! Can’t wait to watch S2 here in the states. Can’t afford the streaming service it’s on now, but will get the series later. Until then, I will delight in your reviews and snippets of the show that will inevitably appear on YT. 💕
Your sense of humor, "spicy like an Italian sandwich."😂 I love your reviews, they are well thought out, and honest. After KE😭 thank God for Gentleman Jack. Marianne is definitely not going quietly into the night, and Ann Walker's aunt definitely going to align the "tribe" to cause trouble. Your response to meeting Suranne, mine would have been the same. So happy that you got to meet her. I just love that we are literally following Anne's life, and that this really happened. I love it all, Anne, Ann, Sophie, Suranne, all the other cast, the cinematography, writing, costume design, the humor, and chemistry. Top tier acting by all. 👏👌🎩♥️
Love your reviews…they are hysterical, insightful, very honest and of course informative…you are refreshing my dear and a cutie also…keep up your banter..love your accent also
Great review! In real life and on the show, Ann Walker truly was incredibly brave. She may not have been as bold as Anne Lister but she DID live her life with her as a "married" couple - something Marianne was too scared & weak to do. And Ann didn't have the support of her family as Anne Lister did. Quite the opposite. Yet, Ann Walker has / had this IMO very unfair image of being weak. She battled a homophobic society, death of her beloved brother, and a cruel family hell bent on labeling her "unstable" so they could control her inheritance. She deserves more credit for her strength & resilience. I love the scenes when Ann Walker stands up to Anne Lister ever so gently. Anne isn't controlling her or pushing her around! Lol
She never married. In 1836 she left Shibden and returned to live at the family's Skelfler estate in Market Weighton, which she inherited on the death of her and Anne's father Jeremy. So don’t worry too much about her cough, she outlives the whole family.
You really have a way with words and yes, you are funny and made me laugh for the first few minutes of the video. I like Suranne Jones, she is a great actor and she is beautiful. So many Ann in the show.. Looking forward to the series whenever that is. Thank you.
Suranne and Sophie are gorgeous and hot I’ve gotta say. Their chemistry is off the charts and it’s organic. I’m looking forward to what the rest of Season 2 will bring.
I was so excited and happy when I first saw a photo of you with Suranne Jones. That’s like meeting royalty 👑🎩!! This second series is going to take us all on quite the adventure. On a side note: Do you remember hearing that HBO edited out a few things “for time” in the first series? I wonder if they’ll do it again this series?
I love reading the diaries...rather like reading private messages via Lister & Walker directly to Sally Wainwright. lol Loved your review, and 'hail to the chief' Suranne. Have not seen the episode but will eventually buy the entire S2.
Suranne Jones is such an amazing talent she’s made us fall in love with AL…seeing past her manipulative and controlling behavior. We end up viewing AW’s family as the enemy while AL has cut AW off from her family, is constantly making subtle demands and never apologizing for anything. And here we are still totally rooting for and loving her.
I'm new to this show, in S2 (it's only pure serendipity that I get to watch it at all), and the family relationships can be HELLA confusing . . . but I believe the older woman at Shibden is her _aunt,_ not her mother (her father's sister).
I get the impression (at least from British fiction!) that because mortality rates are so high, aunts&uncles are as involved w/ nieces&nephews as parents&children are contemporaneously (because parents so often lost children, and children lost parents).
Clearly that affair is going to happen. But it also seems it won't last but for so long. The Listers prefer Miss Walker for Anne. Its crazy to say she is not in love with Miss Walker. When her actions of wanting to do things for her tells a different story. I think she is in love with Miss Walker and cant see it because she is scared of being hurt again.
Great! that you met Surrane Jones, lucky you. I can clearly see how it would be when she is next to you. Soooooo lucky you!!! And the review is excellent. Keep up doing great content.
Love ypur review..hysterical..ah yes Suranne..fell in love with her from season 1..so can relate to your feelings..lol..I am a GJ Fan 100%..so looking forward to the 1st episode of season 2.But will have to wait here in the States for the premiere on HBO..It is so wonderful to see such a large Fan Base for this show..I'm Ready😁Thank you for this wonderful review❤
Brilliant! Agreed. Life is not a field of roses. S.J. in G.J. often smiles, is attractive, even happy. It's a pleasure. A.L. diaries are more dramaticat (Ang.Stei). Suranne's roles are too serious (Vig., D.F., Unforg.). How can an actor endure it? I wish you health, Surrane!
'Free Diet Coke from the bar' LOL I totally get your Jones infatuation. So jealous. :) Ah... the premiere was at the big open air 'hall' thing in Halifax?
I adore you so much, Tessa! You are the best. I will figure out a way getting a copy of your poems. All of them. 😀 I mean although I had wished it really hard but probably won't be able to recieve an actual copy, soo.. I'll place an order for the e-book format. :) The format is not soo important, only the poems.... Honey, the poems. (Out, to make an order for her wonderful content. Thank you! :)
Well, fortunately or unfortunately I've read a bit of the diaries so I know that Anne and Mariana did not have an affair, but did have a one last night fling, so there's that to look forward to if, indeed, Sally has not made up anything.
@@csmith5420 I don't agree. To me an affair suggests a liaison tat takes place over time, not a one night stand. But to each his or her own. It is worth noting that Anne deeply regretted the act and wrote that it was not worth risking breaking Ann's heart.
Where in the diaries does AL say she had an affair with Mariana after she "married" Ann Walker? In Anne Choma's book, AL was not keen on Mariana's visit and rejected her offers of a romantic liaison. AL says "I am not sorry she (MB) is gone." (12th November 1836). Can anyone cite the diary entry where AL talks about cheating on Ann Walker??
I totally understand if "affair" has some connotations that feel a little too intense for what happened once Ann and Anne were married. Maybe saying that Anne "cheated" or briefly "stepped out on Ann" with Mariana might work...? Whatever we want to call it, I'm getting my popcorn ready for it so.
I binged the entire show after season 2 released then found out simultaneously that it was not renewed for season 3 and I was slightly upset about it. Also I am positive id have a mini stroke if I ever were in the same room as Gillian Anderson. I have met 2 celebrities and was all smiles, sweat and durp unable to speak. I get too happy my brain just shuts off.
I had the great privilege of meeting Gillian Anderson at a comic con and the first thing she said to me when she looked up was, "Gosh I love your glasses!" I was already so nervous to meet her and her unexpected and sincere compliment almost killed me dead on the spot. 🙈 She was so kind though; could tell I was flustered beyond comprehension and took her time to ask me questions and sign a poster for me.
I totally disagree about Anne and Mariana having an affair. I so want Anne and Ann to have happiness. Mariana hurt Anne several times about Anne's masculine appearance, etc. Ann Walker accepted Anne as she was, and never asked or expected her to change. And Ann Walker married Anne against so much pressure and so many obstacles that Anne Lister never had. Mariana kept Anne on a string for almost 20 years, but preferred the prestige of being Charles Lawton's wife. Anne Lister would be a step down. Even Anne Lister knew that. So, no; I can see from the trailers that Anne and Mariana will probably have an affair, but I'm not happy about it at all! If Anne Walker ever found out it could put her back in Steph's asylum all over again! What an avoidable tragedy that would be!!! Having said this, I will watch all 8 episodes. Sophie and Suranne are just too good to miss.
Literally just found out Suranne Jones not only have a Husbandddd that broke my heart but then my heart was restored when I found out we shared the same birthdayyyy August 27th like ekkkkk then again my heart broke because as I was daydreaming how if we was to get together we would have the cutest shared birthday, I remembered she has a HUSBAND. Aghh like whyyyy
Watching season 1 again and it finally makes sense why AL was so reluctant to introduce AW to her friends etc and is so overprotective. AL is so scared that a little hiccup might trigger AW to go into a deep depression like if she feels out of place or finds out about all the lovers AL had in the past. AL is trying to keep AW moving at a slow pace and AW thinks she’s all ready for AL’s world because she has gained some confidence.
We are very excited about the intimacy coordinator Ita O’Brien of Gentleman Jack as the publishers of Lesbian Kama Sutra website (also paperback The Art of Lesbian Lovemaking, A Lesbian Kama Sutra by Rose Black) due to news quote: “O’Brien is an 'intimacy coordinator' and has opened up about the research she carried out for the racier moments in the series, she told The Sun: "I had to do quite a lot of research for 'Gentleman Jack'. I used a lesbian Kama Sutra...The important thing was to have a template -- if you have a text that explains what positions the women favour and how they make love, then you can really honour that.”
Une série absolument jubilatoire et délicieuse je suis complètement fan la mise en scène est fantastique les acteurs sont magistrales Suzanne Jones et magnétique on a du mal à la lâcher le regard elle est fantastique pour moi elle mérite un Golden Globe pour le rôle An absolutely jubilant and delicious series I am completely fan the staging is fantastic the actors are masterful Suzanne Jones and magnetic we have trouble letting go of the look she is fantastic for me she deserves a Golden Globe for the role
Not to derail, but would you ever consider doing a reaction to Arcane? Contains lesbians and it’s become hella popular now, would love to see your reaction if you do animation
11:35 meee tooo.. I’m so attached to Anne and Mariana’s relationship since I watched the 1st Lister movie few years back but now Im also attached to Ann Walker bc of the series lol I’m so torn
I didn't even know that 2nd season had started already. I like the show for "breaking down the 4th wall" every now and then. I would not want steamy affairs in real life (if married) but I am all for it on screen (despite the historical reference making this a true event). By the way: I was far from enthusiastic when this show first aired (mistook it for yet another lesbian period drama). Luckily, your videos turned me into a fan who can now see that this show has more to offer. Question: Now that you have met Suranne (👍), did this change the way you watch GJ in any way?

All I keep hearing about is Christmas (1834?)... but I'm trying not to learn too much about the actual history beforehand... though I already saw some Marion "spoilers" here in the comments.
Yes please! Gentleman Jack is the only thing that can distract me from killing eve at the moment.
Same...
Omg same
For the people in the back: same
Same
same🙄🥲😭
Killing Eve's ending broke my ❤️ but Gentleman Jack S2 gave me the resurrection!!
Thank u for the review, darling! 😘
We all love Suranne Jones!!🥰
The pistol scene was genius. LOL
Thank you! I was watching that scene wondering if it was just me feeling like there were so many hilarious moments: the conversation with Marian, Anne loading the pistol (or whatever she was doing), Ann watching and moving aside all smitten, the 'plum pudding apology'...so hilarious, so many layers.
i’m so glad you’re talking about this show. ❤️
Wow! That is so great that the BBC invited you to the screening. That is very, very cool. 👍. They recognize an influencer when they see one. 👍. And you got to meet Suranne! Excellent!

Yes Yes Yes!!! It was so good, I've even adopted the stride 🤣🤣😍
and the monologue
Love that walk !!
Anne had the convo w/ her Aunt Anne not her mother. Great review--enjoyed your swoon.
Love your reviews…they are hysterical, insightful, very honest and of course informative…you are refreshing my dear and a cutie also…keep up your banter..love your accent also

Marian Lister lived to the ripe old age of 84.
She never married. In 1836 she left Shibden and returned to live at the family's Skelfler estate in Market Weighton, which she inherited on the death of her and Anne's father Jeremy. So don’t worry too much about her cough, she outlives the whole family.
I love the power walking and I love her talking to the camera. The music is perfect for the walk.
The BBC loves lesbians to death, in Villanelle’s case.
Auchh.... It hurts.
You really have a way with words and yes, you are funny and made me laugh for the first few minutes of the video. I like Suranne Jones, she is a great actor and she is beautiful. So many Ann in the show.. Looking forward to the series whenever that is. Thank you.
I’m on board with the affair, too. Adds to the drama. And they were a steamy pair to begin with.
Guess you would be ok if your S/O had an affair since you like drama
Suranne and Sophie are gorgeous and hot I’ve gotta say. Their chemistry is off the charts and it’s organic. I’m looking forward to what the rest of Season 2 will bring.
The sister lived to a good old age so unless Wainwright wants to (needlessly, callously and stupidly) break hearts she ought to be fine.
Those big brown eyes just makes me melt …
They had one last fling on Xmas of 1834. But that was it.
I would be starry-eyed too!

marian outlives everyone in real life.
LOL A FREE DIET PEPSI you have a new fan. Very Funny
Hey just started watching you and omg I’m so glad I found you! Your so funny and informative bravo great job!! From K USA
lol, you really didn't spare a minute on grieving for KE. I mean it's good to move on fast.
Congrats meeting her. She’s done sooooo much drama but she was hilarious in touch of cloth. Where was Sophie? Could u c her? British actresses yummmmm

Une série absolument jubilatoire et délicieuse je suis complètement fan

An absolutely jubilant and delicious series I am completely fan the staging is fantastic the actors are masterful Suzanne Jones and magnetic we have trouble letting go of the look she is fantastic for me she deserves a Golden Globe for the role
. Marian died on August 6 1882 at the age of 84 and was buried in the family's grave at St Anne's church.
♥️♥️♥️
Tell the truth: you called her "Sir Anne", didn't you? [And then did a deep curtsey] 😉
I know GJ is available on HBO Max. Does anyone know when GJ2 will start on there?
Or where it’s available to watch in US?
4/25

I don't know if it's a spoiler, because it's history, but the real Marian outlived all her siblings. Historically, she's fine.
That's Anne's aunt not her mother
Where can I watch the new episode?
BBC iPLayer in the UK or April 25th on HBO in the US... otherwise I don't know.

@@EricaGamet Xmas 1834, that's the one. I won't say anything more about it to avoid spoilers. 😏
@@EricaGamet Sadly I found out what happens.
Any idea when second season is released on HBO Max?
April 25th.
I'm with you on an Anne and Mariana affair. Life is hard and we need some fun, right? We know Anne and Ann stay together anyway.
Showtime if you are reading this, you know what to do :)
And for what it’s worth I also want an affair to happen.
😍 omy
So, maybe I'll soldier on...I almost stopped watching in Season 1 because Miss Walker was SO WHINY!!!!
Insipid, indeed! Anne, you can do better!
You are a very attractive person and that's for sure.
