Jane Eyre

Jane Eyre is currently streaming in the US on Amazon Prime Video and Hulu, and in the UK on Sky Go and BBC iPlayer, and it rewards the patience it asks of you. Across 1 season, the show has had time to find its rhythm and keep it. 137 people have weighed in on TMDB, and the verdict leans heavily positive. Watch it for Ruth Wilson — one of the stronger performances out there right now. Put it on tonight on Amazon Prime Video and see for yourself.

Jane Eyre is not trying to be everything to everyone, and that focus is exactly what makes it work. The writing in Jane Eyre treats its characters as people first, plot devices second. Charlotte Bronte's classic about an orphan girl who grows up to become a governess in a gloomy manor in Yorkshire, where she falls in love with the mysterious Edward Rochester. Ruth Wilson and Toby Stephens lead a cast that brings real weight to the material. Jane Eyre premiered in 2006. The writing trusts the audience to sit with ambiguity rather than wrapping everything up in a tidy conclusion — it is the approach that separates good drama from great. The consistency throughout is what elevates it — not every moment is the best, but none of them are a reason to stop watching.

Viewers drawn to character-driven storytelling will find plenty to sit with in Jane Eyre. Fans of Anne with an E will recognise the sensibility here immediately. The complete run is available and best experienced without too much prior knowledge of where it goes. Ruth Wilson is the centre of it, and it is one of their strongest performances on record. The patience it asks of you early on is paid back with interest.
