Dickinson (TV Series) I Have Never Seen 'Volcanoes' (2019) User Reviews

Fun and sharp with its direction.

[cruise01 · 8/10 · 11 November 2019]

4 out of 5 stars.

The episode continues with an another fun outing with Emily and Sue trying to get into a all boy lecture about volcanoes. It is fun, hilarious, and Hailee Steinfield steals the show. The cast is great. The music, the script, and the pacing.

Episode 102

[bobcobb301 · 7/10 · 3 November 2019]

This had all the elements of a campy 80's film from nerds overreacting to girls being somewhere they shouldn't to a dancing in your bedroom montage.

This show has been good so far, but it is not exactly the groundbreaking hit Apple needs to take this platform to the next level.

An amazing episode

[cameronjames-86959 · 10/10 · 1 November 2019]

I really liked the first episode of this show and this episode just improves on everything from the first episodes. Everything I liked about the first episode is back and improved the character development is amazing, the casts performances wow so great, the relationship between the characters wow oh wow are amazing, the pacing is a lot better and this episode is just an masterpiece. Overall I wouldn't be surprised if this is the best episode of this show because so far it's my favorite.

Emisue

[solojere · 10/10 · 22 April 2024]

This is one of Dickinson's best episodes as it really establishes the relationship between Emily and Sue or Emisue, as those who have seen the show call them. The episode starts with Emily and Sue sharing a bed, and it is clear that they are more than just friends. Emily is feeling sad knowing that Sue is now engaged to her brother Austin. However, now that the family has a maid, Emily has more time to herself to think and work on her poetry. When the girls learn that a volcano expert is going to lecture at the boy's school, Emily suggests that they dress up as boys and sneak in, as you would see in a Shakespeare play. And even though their disguises aren't very convincing, the girls seem to go unnoticed. However, things get out of hand when Emily realizes her feelings for Sue. This is Dickinson at its best. Hailee Steinfeld is once again perfect, like Emily, as she illustrates Emily's love and passion for knowledge. She also makes you appreciate the world we live in today, as it is crazy to think there was a time when women weren't allowed to go to school or study. Hailee and Ella Hunt also have amazing chemistry. The scene where they are dressing up as boys is so cute. And even in their male outfits, they looked amazing. It was also super funny that they weren't convincing at all. You read all these old plays when you are in school and see them in old cartoons where girls dress like boys, and you think that would never work in real life. So it was funny to see on screen. After all, you can dress her up however you want, but Hailee Steinfeld is Hailee Steinfeld. Also, the ending is one of the hottest scenes in the entire show. Overall, this is one of my favorite episodes because of Emisue.

Difficult to watch

[madmada · 5 December 2021]

Not because it's bad but for me it's depressing, I can't get over the fact that she can't (and probably will never be able to) live her life as she wants or be with the one she loves. And it's a real story so I can't hope for a happy ending, even if we got one, we still know that's not what actually happened. This's sad all around. I don't think I ever struggled watching a show for such a reason before.

DUMB

[kmkraft · 1/10 · 17 January 2021]

This is a dumb-down period piece. It inserts contemporary dialog and a contemporary musical score in what ends up being simply a contemporary comedy with the actors simply playing dress-up in period clothing. I would think that a series presumably dedicated to the legacy of Emily Dickinson would have a little more respect for her.
