Franchaela fandom needs to watch Gentleman Jack NOW. I’m seeing people say S5 will be the first WLW period piece show and I’d like to introduce you to more!!!

Gentleman Jack is based on Anne Lister, a real person who lived in England from 1791 to 1840. The show is based on her diaries, where she documents her love affairs with other women (technically she was a bit of a rake) and her love story with Ann Walker, who she eventually married.

Gorgeous, accurate 1830s costumes

Clever script

Great actors

Romance

Drama/scandal

Smut

Two seasons of lesbians, as the leads of the show, and not the side plot

Full disclosure— I’m a straight woman, I watched GJ for the clothes, because the 1830s never have good costume drama adaptations. IMHO it was entertaining and the lead actress Suranne Jones has a ton of charisma and charm, with a really attractive cast and good storytelling. It’s missing the racial diversity of Bridgerton, because it just follows the races of the real people in her diary, but otherwise it’s a great option while you wait.
