Hugo Blick's writing is IMPECABLE! I can't even begin to think the amount of research that went into this production.
I watched this series a few days ago and I found it so impactful that I'm still thinking about it. This is surprising, adventurous, audacious, endearing, touching, violent, thrilling. A Western with SOOOO much meat that even non Western viewers like myself will appreciate it.
It touches issues that we don't think about in contemporary days. How violence against women was not uncommon; how aristocratic peerage is most often the result of violence and plunder, same as many wealthy "old" families in America became wealthy and "respectable"; how 2 people who are so very different can find common ground and a sense of home; how history has ignored illnesses that were shameful.
I could go on but if I did, I wouldn't be able to highlight the SUPERB work that Chaske Spencer has done in this mini series. Blunt is very good, and doesn't dissapoint, but Chaske Spencer has definitely entered my radar. Now I have a few things in my watchlist where he appears. He is brilliant!
I don't see how this series could have anything less than 9 stars. It gets 10 stars from me.
