“Reasons to Include Hailee Steinfeld’s Overlooked Apple TV+ Series in Your Watchlist”

Apple TV+ launched in November 2019, taking a less conventional path in streaming by debuting with only a few original TV series — emphasizing a philosophy of quality over quantity. If you were an early subscriber like I was, you may recall one of the standout titles from that initial offering, “Dickinson,” which presents a whimsical yet contemporary retelling of Emily Dickinson’s life. The series features Hailee Steinfeld as the 19th-century poetess, who penned numerous poems throughout her lifetime and passed away at 55 in her Massachusetts family home.

Throughout its three seasons, Apple adds a modern flair to her narrative, utilizing visuals that appear to be historically accurate but are set against a modern soundtrack and contemporary language — all of which showcased the poet in an innovative, original manner. Initially, I didn’t think this specific Apple drama would have widespread appeal, but I must admit I was quite mistaken. One piece of evidence: It’s uncommon to see this, but for whatever it’s worth, the series currently boasts identical 92% ratings from both critics and audiences on Rotten Tomatoes.

In summary, “Dickinson” stands out as one of the most notable additions to the early lineup of Apple’s streaming offerings. Even though the concluding season wrapped up in late 2021, it remains a timeless watch for anyone who didn’t experience it the first time.
