The story of the American West is shaped by migration and the resulting conflict between old residents and newcomers. This theme at the heart of Hugo Blick’s six-part series couldn’t be more topical today. The story begins in 1890 when an English woman meets an indigenous man. She wants revenge for her son’s murder, he wants the land he is owed. Emily Blunt und Chaske Spencer portray this unequal pair, fighting for justice at the edge between civilization and wilderness. An elegiac revenge Western, told in wonderfully expressive imagery.
