BBC One and Amazon Studios have joined forces with the extremely talented actress Emily Blunt to bring us an epic tale of love and revenge set in the mythical Mesoamerican landscape in the year 1890.
Unlike so many other westerns, the “The English” focuses on an aristocratic English woman – not an American cowboy. An English woman who wants to take revenge.
According to the series synopsis, Cornelia Locke arrives in the West in search of the man she believes is responsible for her son’s death.
It doesn’t take long for her to join forces with him Eli Whipp, a former member of the cavalry and a member of the Pawnee Nation. Together they will cross “a steep landscape built on dreams and blood” and discover a shared history that must be won at all costs if either of them is to survive.
“They must face increasingly terrifying obstacles that will test them to the limit, physically and psychologically,” the synopsis continues. “But as each obstacle is overcome, it brings them closer to their ultimate destination, the new town of Hoxem, Wyoming.
“Here, after local sheriff Robert Marshall (Stephen Rea) and young widow Martha Myers (Valerie Pachner) investigate a series of strange and macabre unsolved murders, their entire history will truly be understood and they will be faced with the future which they must accept”.
