Blown Away
solojere23 May 2021
This season was simply amazing, and this final episode was the cherry on top, as Emily discovers what she really wants. Season 2 has largely been focused on Emily's desires for fame. However, by this point, Emily has moved beyond the need for fame as she realizes she doesn't need the world's approval. In addition to this, Emily and Sue's storyline comes full circle. I won't give anything away, but overall, I've enjoyed season 2 more than season 1. Both were great; I just prefer season 2. Hailee is simply incredible, and her chemistry with Ella Hunt is the cutest thing ever. I can't wait for season 3.

Great Season Ender
zvxcpt25 February 2023
I loved this episode. So much to unpack, but it was all worth it in the end to see Emily realize that fame is fleeting, while love is enduring. It was good to have the mystery of "nobody" finally solved and to have all the foreshadowing of what's to come. There were certainly some unsettling moments, but the acting, script, direction, etc. Managed to hold everyone together, which resulted in a very satisfying conclusion.

I can't wait to finally catch up with the third and final season. This has truly become one of the best television shows I've ever experienced in my 65 years on this planet - and I can't wait to see how it all ends.

Fun with a next chapter of Emily Dickinson.

Season 2 (3.5 out of 5 stars).

The second season is a pretty fair chapter. It may not be as fresh with its story than the first. The characters new and old returning are a lot of fun. Lots of comical moments. Great cast. Finn Jones making an appearance that may have an impact on Emilys life. There were good episodes and some dull tedious episodes that made this season an uneven tone.

Finale

It wasn't bad, but the buildup to the big Emily/Sue moment did not feel right, nor did their awkward moment of love.

Last 3 eps of this 2nd season ruined the show. Warning: Spoilers
Emily and sue's kiss, romantic scenes look so fake like director is forcing them to kiss, doesn't look genuine at all..ending doesn't make any sense to me...so basically emily knew that sue is having sex with her brother, her agent but still she loves her?? Sue is throwing money like there is no tomorrow, doing everything bad still she loves her.... don't know what happened...3rd last showed emily like a ghost, seeing things, being invisible, is she marvel superhero or this show fantasy??

Underwhelming
henrycoles91 March 2021
Season 2 was quite action-packed and a lot better than the first, but it really ground to a ridiculous halt with this finale. Also, Hailee (Emily) had been more or less absent in the last three or four episodes and that was totally idiotic.

Disgusting

As a bisexual woman myself, I don't feel represented by neither Emily nor Sue. Emily is basically a child who cries over every stupid thing and Sue is a narcissistic, selfish and manipulative person.

What I've seen in this episode was just so messed up I literally have no words. Treason, lies. Is that supossed to be likeable?

Emily literally just went off to tell her brother how Sue was cheating on him and now she does exactly the same? Is that really how she loves the feelings of her family? Austin really loves Sue and he has done SO MUCH to make her happy. She literally almost ruins the Dickinson's wealth. But this is how she pays them.

Anyway, I guess what I'm trying to say is - representation is not what matters. GOOD representation is what does. And those two girls are not it.

Awful..
Dmnivek28 March 2022
Warning: Spoilers
This is basically a poorly written, trashy drama with great acting and high production. It's infuriating because there are some episodes that are actually good.

Am I supposed to like these characters? Most of them are awful. Emily consoles her brother after he basically breaks down and reveals he feels he is a complete failure. So what does she do? Well, if you've seen it, you already know.

This was the 3rd truly awful episode this season. I will not be watching season 3. It's a miracle I made it this far.
