TheEnglish resonates with its gritty, lived-in atmosphere, and it never loses sight of the humanity at the heart of this tragic tale. Our review:
The American West is a dangerous place for a woman, but so is England and the façade of safety that it offers women—even for wealthy, privileged women like Cornelia Locke . The English doesn’t shy away from the horrors of the 1890s, but it also carefully avoids turning its portrayal of period-typical violence, racism, and sexism into voyeuristic fodder.
Blunt is no stranger to playing posh aristocrats thrown into dangerous new adventures, but paired with the chemistry she shares with Spencer, The English gives her a chance to elevate her performance to a new echelon. That elevation is reciprocated in Spencer, who may have finally landed a role that allows him to escape the far-reaching shadow of the Twilight Saga.
As much as The English is perfectly suited for fans of historical dramas or Westerns, the limited series also caters to an unexpected demographic: fans of Red Dead Redemption. Cornelia Locke’s often fantastical wardrobe looks like it was procured at the general store in Valentine, while some ne'er-do-wells she encounters conjure up warm memories of tracking down bounties, dealing with the O'Driscoll Boys, and exploring the vastness of the wild west.
