Despite its near-insurmountable density, Prime Video's 'The English' ends six protracted hours as one of the year’s most memorable series, thanks largely in part to its astounding two leads: Emily Blunt and Chaske Spencer. beastobsessed's review:
The American West of the 1890s was an unforgiving and cruel place. Land, freedom, and happiness were hard-fought but never guaranteed amidst the greed of white colonialists carrying out the twisted and genocidal tenets of Manifest Destiny. The West was sparse, as were the rewards, and every day brought a new, unexpected battle. Making a life in the post-Civil War plains was an uncharitable undertaking for a pitiless people.
Cornelia has been in America for weeks, using bags of unbanked cash to help her navigate a strange land. She pays off anyone she can to take her further. Her offer to pay for Eli’s release is refused with an assault by the hotelier, knocking her out and sending Eli, handcuffed in a stagecoach, in the other direction. But when a chance encounter leads to Eli’s escape, he returns to Cornelia, by way of a knife in her captor’s back.
To understand that mystery, you’ll be tasked with a daunting voyage of your own: completing all six episodes. In this Wild West, there are hucksters peddling information like farmed resources; there are killers who ride with freshly-sheared scalps dangling from their horses; there’s a town built on a secret that slowly changes hands as time goes on, complete with English cattle drivers and hard-nosed widows; there’s a woman named Black Eyed Mog, who is the scariest thing I’ve ever seen on television.

Bold and Blunt: Is This the End of Times?Christians surveying the world have been wondering for some time now if we've entered the final phase of existence -- if it's Revelation Time. But it's not just Christians who are wondering that question. Plenty of non-believers, on-the-fence believers, secularists and humanists and atheists are discussing the idea of the end of humanity, too. The Bible gives the signs and seasons to watch to predict the ending times, but specifically states that no one but God knows the exact date. Still, there's a lot going on today that would seem to suggest the end days are getting nearer; that the time of the rapture is approaching with a rather astonishing speed. Dr. Michael Youssef, pastor and scholar, discusses if the end is near -- and his new, aptly titled, 'Is the End Near? What Jesus Told Us About the Last Days' book.
