Is anyone watching Gentleman Jack?
As a comparison I began to binge Peaky Blinders, which I liked for a bit, but, and maybe this is because of binge watching, I quickly grew tired of the main character staring down the barrel of a gun, which was happening on a regular basis(of course he never actually is shot, well once he was, but of course he lives), or seeing an epic beat down, which was also happening on a regular basis. Maybe I'm getting old, but I've seen enough of this.
Gentleman Jack, on the other hand draws it's strength from superb dialogue exchanges, and really fine acting from the main character. There was one fight scene thus far, but one in a season, compared to 2 per show, does not cause me beat down overload. I don't know if the main story line of a strong lesbian woman's love affairs in 1800's England makes this unwatchable for the typical american male, and I admit, I was a little slow getting into it probably for that reason, but for me anyways, it is a nice departure from the current trend of shoot em up, beat em up, epic battle, crime syndicate, shows that are so prevalent nowadays.
