Ah, too, it has a wing. Dickinson is rising to its own song s crescendo in a confident second season, continuing the anachronistic charms established in its first and buzzing even more vibrantly with bright wit. Hailee Steinfeld s poet may have emerged from mourning a love that was not to be but is still death-obsessed as ever; she thinks of the end as friend and counsel.
Series creator Alena Smith digs into that aspect of Dickinson s reputation by making Death a recurring a character (played by an elegantly dressed Wiz Khalifa), and now that they re well familiar with one another, he enigmatically encourages her to figure out the difference between fame and immortality, and decide which she truly desires.
