AppleTV+'s 'Dickinson' is the Best Show You're Not Watching
The second season of the buzzy, genre-bending drama Dickinson arrives on Apple TV this weekend, and it's not a spoiler to say that it's utterly terrific, a delightful mix of contemporary genre flourishes and traditional period trappings that combine to create something that feels totally brand new.
It's also arguably the best show you're probably not watching.
In the year since its release, Apple TV+ has struggled to find its identity - and its audience - as a streaming platform, despite the success of specific individual properties like The Morning Show (with its 11 Emmy nominations) or Ted Lasso (with its charming optimism and word of mouth buzz). Dickinson is a prime example of the platform swinging for the fences in terms of its programming - the result is a mash-up of a half dozen genres that ultimately has its own distinct perspective and voice.
