One of the reasons Dickinson works alongside Swift and Adele for the autumnal cry season is the aesthetic, of course. This season follows Chinaza Uche's Henry as he ventures South to get a job teaching a regiment of Black soldiers, and gives an expanded storyline to dressmaker Betty, played by Amanda Warren, who is helping Sojourner Truth, Ziwe in a cameo, write her autobiography.) (While focused on Emily, each season Dickinson has made strides in depicting race. This season, for instance, Emily is trying to figure out her place as an artist in an unsettled world and how she, a secluded white woman, can write in a way that moves people beyond her sphere. Out of context, it's a comparison that sounds silly, but Smith has been able to successfully draw the line between the present and past beyond simply the use of modern language and current music, and her experiment has gotten only more successful as the narrative has progressed.
