THANK YOU I love this and I lost my mind when you mentioned the tongue situation, it's SUCH a thing. There’s also a really cool element that I think makes perfect sense for the context that they’re in, but is part of a dynamic that a lot of reactors are commenting on as teasing the audience: Guildford is SO respectful of her consent like the whole time. Doesn't pressure her into consummating the marriage and even stops himself in the middle of making out later because he's thinking about her macro desires as well, i.e. the divorce. But because they are obviously so attracted to each other, the will-they-won’t-they aspect is not quite like they completely dance around each other until they come together and then that’s it. Their version of that back and forth is that they have such great chemistry and they can't keep their hands or faces off each other. Their tension is that they keep starting stuff and then she keeps backing out of it mid-go. Because, totally true to the issues of the era, they can’t let it get too far and give into their lust because it would make it harder for the divorce to be executed later on, which makes perfect sense. So, like the first time they kiss in episode 3 that transitions directly to them in bed and like pretty much all the way undressed, in the throes, about to consummate, and then she’s like actually no. And while the audience can tell that he is very disappointed and borderline heartbroken over it, he stops immediately and absolutely doesn’t make it her problem. This kind of thing keeps happening over and over and over, every time they mutually start something, she stops it and he’s like, totally fine, whatever you want. And then their first time is not the serious, intense affair that most period slow burns are. They are like talking, laughing and giggling through it, they are super vulnerable with each other when she’s like I don’t know how to do this and he’s like no worries, I got you and he’s super sweet and very tender and like doesn’t do anything that she’s not super about. And they’re like very obviously having fun, which is cool to depict. AAAAnyway, the point is that the start/stop, back-and-forth that a lot of audiences have been annoyed about as like the show teasing us, I think is actually fantastic representation for like incredibly good consent dynamics. ESPECIALLY for a time period when her feelings wouldn’t generally really matter in the marital situation.

The show is the best, I completely understand your emotion of being obsessed with My Lady Jane. I live in the internet and most of my time is working towards getting the second season of that show. I've signed the petition and I've done edits and so much more. I love them so much Janeford is the best!

I HIGHLY disagree with you about Kate Winslet and Jack Black.

You are such a adorable soul, how did I missed your work all these days. here you go, you got a subscriber💕 Love from India.

💯 agree with you on everything! Edward is hot 🥵

You saying “nobody kisses you like I do” after he says it hahaha so funny I had to replay it

Can i ask who did you ask to critique it? Was it a publisher? A fellow writer?

Bastards cancelled it!!!

Stan is seriously the best! The Duds are studs!

Sign the petition to help save MLJ 😤😭 www.change.org/p/amazon-prime-to-renew-my-lady-jane-for-a-second-season

And it's been cancelled!!! 😥😥😥😥😥

IT GOT CANCELED 😭

THIS. All of this

Great review! Agree with you wholeheartedly. Totally amazing show, great chemistry 🔥 and awesome jokes 😃 👌

Omg yes, everything you said! I usually don't rewatch series but I just finished watching it for the third time and I'm ready to restart it immediately.

KZbin knows how much I love this movie and I glad it recommended me your video. Love to know someone else who loves this movie 💕💕💕

i need season 2 NEOWWW

I can't leave without mentioning the magnificent film Ella Enchanted (2004) as one of the main inspirations for the show ❤. Although the cast specifically names A Knight's Tale, I love the silliness in both

Ughhhh right when I felt I was ready to move on from this PERFECT show I stumble upon your video. I binged the show right when it came out and haven't been able to read or watch anything else. I'm still so hungover on it and it's been over a month! I even made an IMDB account to rate and review it because the show runner said it will help get them renewed. I hope there won't be a need for any riots but my pitchfork is ready if we don't get a season 2!!!

Can't think of a couple with better chemistry...can u?!

Just watched this, since nothing to watch after finishing My Lady Jane....not bad, but nothing compared to MLJ when it comes to chemistry, and believable love time-line.

such a spot-on analysis lindsey!! (especially that kissing part hahaha)

yep lol!

I’ve seen this show 4 times. After the second rewatched I learned it was based on a book with the same title and I immediately ran to go read the book. I love both the book and the show immensely but they are very different from each other. The book includes perspectives from Jane, Guildford and Edward. The book has so many beautiful moments I wished they had included in the show but the show is hilarious and the chemistry between Jane and Guildford is unmatched. The only thing I don’t like about the book is that they call Guildford “Gifford” or “G” because I actually like the name Guildford. When I was reading the book I just called him Guildford anyways. I highly recommend the book but only after you watch the show because they are so different you’ll be mad at how they interpreted it.

Yes, about the kissing and intimacy. The chemistry was palpable. They both were so believable. The only other onscreen kissing that I think looks realistic is between Paul Mescal and Daisy Edgar Jones in Normal People.

I could not agree more!! Absolutely obsessed, watching it on a loop for days now, just CANNOT stop. Consider me withered indeed

I can’t get past the whole turning into animals aspect…it completely throws me off and takes me out of it each time I watch. It’s a shame because this is usually the type of show I love, I just wish they hadn’t leant into the fantasy/magic idea. Great casting and writing though I must say :)

I fucken loved this show and the artful dodger also took me out

yeah i'm just going to rewatch mlj for the 5th time, there's really nothing else that compares :-)

Watch rosaline!!! MLJ is objectively better because it has more of a story / characters but rosaline has the same like camp tone and comedy i think you'd like it :))

i feel embarassed that i watched anyone but you first before this and after i watched set it up, this movie is just much bette,r just pure genuine rom com movie. the pizza scene is everything..so hopeless romantic me haha

I was about to talk about how outlander does something similar to what u mentioned about mlj utilizing a different form of intimacy like the glances,the subtle touches etc. Only for me to see you actually recommend outlander at the end of the video😅 I see you are a person of culture, because I've seen almost all the shows you recommended and i truly enjoyed this video. So consider me a new subbie.

This show is criminally underrated and I’m gonna be so sad if it doesn’t get another season

No this show is SO AMAZING I am actually obsessed and I want to pump the essence of that show into my body via an iv bag so god help me

Same same❤❤❤❤

I was shocked to see the actor playing Stan Dudley appear in good girls guide to murder which is also amazing, didn’t expect any cross overs

Maxton hall next

I love Susanna!!

I watch my favorite scenes every day!! I am with you!! I cannot stand that Mary is so filthy!! Jane and Guildford are equally strong, smart, and interesting. Great pairing.

Why does this have less viewsss?? Fr MLJ is perfff

🚨 🚨 Spoiler Alert🚨🚨 I’m going to comment on some of my favorite scenes in this movie so if you haven’t seen this movie before than i suggest that you exit out of the comments and watch the movie from beginning too end and then come back and watch this video.

should i watch it or read it first ?

I really enjoyed watching this with you and am sad to see you have gone away. I hope it's for a happy, nice reason 😺

The pizza scene was adorable.

I have no idea why people love this movie, the leads are horrible people. The people they are with are adorable, but they just threw it all away like it’s nothing. I can’t bring myself to root for these people. I was wishing for the bad ending…lol

The Nick Drake song is my favorite part of the movie

The Holiday is probably Nancy Meyer’s masterpiece. “SOMETHING’S GOTTA GIVE,” with Jack Nicholson & Diane Keaton is great as well!

Serendipity is a real place it’s a desert place and cafe located in nyc, great food highly recommend
