Dickinson (Seasons 1–3)

Dickinson (2019) is an Apple TV+ comedy-drama you can watch online on iFILM. Creator Alena Smith took the real life of poet Emily Dickinson and turned it inside out — anachronistic soundtrack, sharp wit, and Haley Steinfeld as an Emily who sounds nothing like a nineteenth-century housewife.

Emily lives in mid-1800s Massachusetts but thinks about two centuries ahead. Her father wants her married, her mother wants decorum, and society wants silence. Emily wants to write. She does it in secret, at night, in a room she can barely lock from the inside. Her bond with childhood friend Sue (Anna Baryshnikov) keeps defying every label the era tries to put on it.

Three seasons trace three phases: the first rebellion, a brush with recognition, and the cost of wanting to be known on your own terms. Showrunner Smith built a period piece that talks about creativity and female ambition without ever feeling like a history lesson. Stream all seasons of Dickinson online on iFILM.
