For example, Abby and Abiah are inspired by real people but, contrary to the 'mean girls antagonist' personas portrayed they were both close friends with Emily and remained life-long correspondents with her.
- GoofsMaggie is depicted as being an adult woman, older than Emily and Lavinia. In reality, Maggie was over a decade younger than Emily and would have been in her early teens at the time of the series. Maggie did not begin working for the Dickinsons until the 1860s.

Featured review
Watched because there was nothing else left
I actively avoided this program. I did not study Emily Dickinson (I now have a book of her collected poems), and I avoid shows about wars at all costs ....... except this one because I ran out of anything else to watch.
To say this is not a regular program is an understatement. You have to watch and listen closely to the lines and situations - and you'll be well rewarded with some of the funniest tidbits on TV.
My absolute favorite scenes are Emily with Death! He is MAGNIFICENT!! WOW!! Talk about perfect casting. Wiz Khalifa puts a slant on his character that is so smooth and I cannot imagine another actor in that part. He is absolute perfection.
This series is odd. And beautiful and gripping. Yes it's different. Please enjoy it for it's uniqueness.
