I just watch Dickenson on AppleTV. it was an interesting piece, not that funny for being billed as a comedy, but I enjoyed a lot.

I'm a sucker for when shows take the time to confront historisity head on, you just the sense of a very very big world small world, when they give you characters that don't need to be fleshed out, because all of that background material about them exists in encyclopedias.

They also do a good job of making 160 years ago feel very contemporary.
