1. I like well-placed Western violence as much as the next person, but The English has nearly every scene filled with unbelievable violence. Just way too much, for 1890. I knew relatives that old who lived here in the West, and it was not that violent then. When a show uses too much gore and mayhem, you can bet it is deficient in other areas AND it means the show's creators dont think we are very intelligent.
2. The leads are pretty people, and act well, but it is overacted in places.
Will keep watching, but i am more disappointed than entertained.
