Gentleman Jack viewers ‘exhausted’ after spotting big problem with Suranne Jones in season 2 premiere

GENTLEMAN Jack viewers have been left feeling "exhausted" after spotting a big problem with the season two premiere.

Fans took to Twitter to complain just minutes into the episode on Sunday night as main character Anne Lister - played by Suranne Jones - was seen jumping from one place to the next in little time.

The season opener caught up with diarist Anne - who is known as the "first modern lesbian" shortly after wedding her wife Ann Walker.

While Ann, played by Sophie Rundle, struggled to go public about her marriage to Lister, cracks began to appear in the relationship.

Meanwhile, Anne's scored ex lover Mariana tried to work her way back into her life with a series of unexpected love letters.

Actress Suranne, 43, was seen making her way around Yorkshire as she tussled with business and escaped her relationship issues.

"They are acting like Halifax, York and Reivaulx are just a short skip between each other, a bit of a trek even in a car," one said.

"Ten minutes into Gentleman Jack and I'm exhausted already," a second joked of Suranne's walking pace throughout the episode.

"I feel exhausted just watching Anne rushing about everywhere," a third said, as someone else joked: "Step tally must be off the scale."

"Anne please just sit down for a moment and relax, you're tiring me out just watching you running around everywhere," a fifth concluded.

Fans were delighted last night when Gentleman Jack returned to screens after a long two-year wait for the second series.

However, viewers also admitted they were stunned with how quickly the first sex scenes came in the debut episode.

Anne shared a passionate kiss with her wife, which soon led them to the bedroom to discuss 'accounts,' just 20 minutes into the show.

One said: "Gentleman Jack bloody hell pls pls slow down," as a second added: "Well she's just a little bit pleased to see her."

The series written by Sally Wainwright is set in 1832 England and is based on the secret diaries of Anne Lister.
