Featured review
Dickinson Christmas
After winning the election, Mr. Dickinson is called away to Washington, D. C. However, Emily is still upset after the incident from the previous episode and is cold to him as he leaves. Emily, though, is quickly brought out of her spell as Ben agrees to celebrate Christmas with them. Finding herself smitten with Ben, Emily agrees to make Christmas dinner to prove that she is wife material. Honestly, this is probably Dickinson's weakest episode. Emily trying to play the part of a good housewife is awkward and feels forced. Also, it really seems out of character how in love she is with Ben. This could partially be due to the fact that Ben was miscast. He didn't have the chemistry he should have with Emily. Also, the entire show is about how Emily is an independent person, so having this person for whom she is willing to give that up is a hard watch. Ben isn't the only issue with this episode. For instance, Mrs. Dickinson's storyline is just too over the top. Louisa May Alcott was annoying as a character, and her performance was kind of disrespectful of the real person as she was nothing like that in real life. Also, the scene with Lavinia at Christmas dinner was just awkward, and there was no way that everyone else there wouldn't know what was going on. There are a few nice moments. Seeing Sue jealous of Ben was cute. Mr. Dickson's attempt to reconnect with Emily was nice. Also, the end of the episode had some nice foreshadowing, even if it was a little obvious. In the end, Emily seems to get back on track, and Hailee is great at what she is given to work with. Overall, it is an okay episode, but not as good as the rest of the show.
