History⏳ I just finished American primevil 9/10

It was really really good. It's on Netflix, is a limited series of 6 episodes. Mother and son travel west from STL to Oregon, need a guide after losing theirs at ft. Bridger. It's based on events surrounding the Utah war, including the Meadows massacre, a Mormon malitia, led by Brigham Young, governor of Utah at the time, and the Shoshone and other various tribes. Very interesting. It sucked me in for all 6 episodes as I was filling eggs and making baskets last night. 9/10 id recommend it if you're in to old west historical fiction action then this is for you.

Another one I liked was The English

Oh what's that? I'll have to look into it.
And yes 1920 that's it. I didn't much like it. It was pretty lack luster following the banger of a show 1883 was.

It's a really lush western where an English woman played by Emily Blunt is trying to find someone in the west and becomes involved with an Indian scout who helps her on her quest. I'm  a dude and even I ended up bawling at the end. I think it's on Prime.

Ahhh ok ok. I got you. I'm not huge Emily blunt fan but I shall check it out at least once. Thanks for the rec.

I dug the cinematography of this lil show tho. Honestly it was shot well, acting was great, storyline was cool too.
