Prime Video’s My Lady Jane has earned more critical acclaim than any Bridgerton season. A British show based on both Lady Jane Grey’s life and Cynthia Hand’s novel, the show features a fantastical exploration of romance, monsters, and life as a British lady. Though it does tell the true story of Jane Grey’s adventures, it takes opportunities to introduce unrealistic elements as well, including humans who can become monsters. Every episode was released on Prime Video on June 27th, and they have earned critical acclaim.
On Rotten Tomatoes, Jane currently sits at an impressive 91% Tomatometer score. That total is higher than any Bridgerton season, as that historical romance sits at just 87% at its highest mark. While Jane does not have a higher audience score when compared to the more popular franchise, that level of critical acclaim is a sign that Bridgerton may lose its place at the top of the genre.
