Toronto film critic Nathalie Atkinson joins Alex Heeney on the podcast to discuss their latest obsession — Amazon Prime’s swashbuckling series, My Lady Jane. We discuss everything, including husbands that are sometimes horses, intimacy coordination by Ita O’Brien (Normal People), the incredible cast, and more. Together, we try to understand why we can’t stop thinking about the show. And we place it in the Young Adult (YA) and historical romance landscape.
My Lady Jane reimagines the story of Lady Jane Grey, who ascended to the Tudor-era English for just 9 days. The show asks, what could have happened if Lady Jane lasted a little bit longer, had a whole lot of gumption? And what if a bunch of people, called Ethians, could also transform into animals? The show is part romance, part adventure, part YA coming-of-ager, with an incredible supporting cast.
