The English: Trailer, certificate and where to watch
Visually stunning and emotionally intense western with a superb cast
Year: 2022
Certificate: 15
This western drama from writer director Hugo Blick (The Honourable Woman, Black Earth Rising) looked at the genre and the Wild West in a fresh new way. It has romance, revenge, mystery and violence - everything you could want from a drama and more. From the very beginning, as we first meet our heroes - Cornelia (Emily Blunt's fearless Englishwoman) and Eli (Chaske Spencer's loner Pawnee scout) - we expect something different, a story that is as epic as those wide-open skies and plains, but also as personal and emotional as the unspoken pain that both Cornelia and Eli carry with them.
The show's six episodes are made to be enjoyed on the biggest screen possible (so please don't watch on your phone), as Cornelia and Eli embark on their personal odyssey across the plains, encountering no shortage of bewildering or dangerous folk along the way. Watch out for Toby Jones, Ciaran Hinds and, most sinister of all, Rafe Spall, in the supporting cast. (Six episodes)
