I have Prime. I saw the trailer. Woman and her Indian take on the West. I was expecting an eye-roll every 300 to 400 seconds. I am now three episodes in and it hasn't happened yet. OK, she might be a bit too good with an Indian tool but that was just in passing. To be honest I was expecting a romance novel that women take to read at the beach. What I have gotten thus far is a rather brutal depiction of life in the late 19th century. I can't claim to understand what is going on at all times. Some is just vague while at other times it is as if they are speaking English words but still a foreign language. There are scenes I decide I have no idea what just happened and not in a good way but there aren't many of those. I am hoping something ties it all together later. If I suspect that happens I am going to rewatch it. People don't do stupid things. They do what is in their interest and sometimes it does not go well. Chaske Spencer is well suited to play the role he does and is very convincing. Best Indian role I have seen in a series. The dialog (when I understand what they are saying, again like an English foreign language at times. I suspected it was my short coming, I grew up a city slicker but I married me a country girl. I turned to her a couple times and asked her what a phrase meant and she didn't know either. She normally would.) is generally very well done and believable. Emily Blunt is and has been a very good actress. She is in high form here. There is one scene in particular I have no idea why it was even in there. If there isn't a connection I will spell it out here and turn on the spoilers alert. TLDR - This is a really well produced series. I would like it to finish as a limited 6 episode series and it could but after 3 episodes I could see it going for years. I would make the time to watch this one. I don't think you will be disappointed. I have it at an 8. It could go to a 9 in the next 3 episodes. I doubt it since I reserve a 9 for Breaking Bad and GOT, but it could.
