Gentleman Jack

The first season set off two main storylines, the first sometimes dwelt too much on the forbidden relationship between the two protagonists, the second dealt with the issue of black coal mining disappointingly little. It’s a shame that the creators got too caught up in the standard "she loves me, she loves me not" trope, because I think they could have gotten much more out of this theme with a little effort.

The first episode was clearly "introductory," and I also rate it as such. I should be angry and see red because the main heroine is a typical material for contemporary propaganda - a lesbian and capable, strong, intelligent woman with her own opinion. I myself am surprised that I don't actually mind it in this case. I would have a much bigger problem with the series if it were a testosterone romance, and I would have to constantly watch a dry zip.

According to my opinion, there has been a certain improvement compared to the previous installment. Since it was no longer necessary to introduce individual characters, the creators could focus more on the actual plot. Even though it was purely a conversational matter, I had a pretty good time.

I really like that the series is not only about (for its time) an atypical relationship, but also intriguing when it comes to coal mines. As if that wasn't enough, there is still a search for the perpetrator of a traffic accident, and as a cherry on top, the creators offered interesting details about the pig breeding at the Sowden family's, so I am satisfied.

The fourth episode slightly lost its interest, its plot focused too much on Miss Walker's disturbed mental state and there was not enough time for intrigue in the mining industry. I was entertained by the visit to the stiff Victorian Priestleys, but the Sowden's pigsty did not bring me any bonus entertainment, so I stayed with three stars. (05/09/2019)

I added one extra star compared to the previous installment, even though I was incredibly annoyed by the constant meddling in the moods of the unstable Miss Walker. I actually had a great time watching the unamusing (and therefore persistent) Mr. Ainsworth, the typical Victorian starchy lady Mrs. Pristley, and the desperately impressionable Miss Parkhill.

The plot of the sixth episode didn't impress me with anything significant, so I couldn't give it a higher rating, although the episode wasn't bad at all. What disappointed me the most was that the creators focused mainly on romantic relationships, and coal mining was left on the sidelines. But when winter asks... (06/09/2019)

Hmm, it is already clear that such a course of episodes will probably be a standard for this series, which is a pity, I think there is potential for a much better result here. It would be enough to limit the constant relationship crises and focus more on coal. Yes, I am from Karvinsko, so what?!! (06/09/2019)

I ultimately gave the final episode of the first season four pieces, even though the overly sugary ending annoyed me a bit. The plot was, however, livelier this time, the journey across the continent of the story helped, and the creators finally addressed the difficulties in building the mine, although it was mainly a calculation and a hook for the next season on their part.
