User Reviews

If Dickens wrote a novel about lesbian love this would be it. Genuinely twisty and suspenseful plot along side the will they or won’t they.

A series about two women who fall in love in Victorian England as one of the woman tries to con the other. Mature content warning a bit slow

Margharette Hall

My favourite movie series of all time. Love the performances and the plot. I haven't found more soul braking but still cute wlw film yet.

Brooke Mitchell

Better than I thought it was going to be, considering all the other lesbian period pieces, and this one actually has a happy ending.

Not for me
