The best and worst thing about Dickinson Season 2 is that they are taking an entire season to show us that up until this point Emily's only true escape has been Sue.
In season one there seemed to be an ongoing contest between Emily's obsession with Sue and Emily's obsession with her writing. But Season 2 has made it clear that Emily's writing was mostly about and for Sue. They've even gone out of there way to have every publishing attempt of Emily's be something that someone else suggested for her and pushed her into (george, ben, & now sue).
In season 2, as soon as Sue removed herself from the equation, Emily immediately got writer's block. The contest between Emily's writing and Emily's love & want of Sue quickly became obsolete - since they were completely tethered. Without Sue, Emily became lost.
It's tragic and beautiful.
I love and hate this ride.
