Choctaw native here. Never put thought into Emily. But after watching this series 3 times. She has my full attention. Chaske is beyond amazing. I'm going through the most difficult time in my life. This art piece has helped take my mind off the the heavy burden on my heart.

English Romani here. I agree with you on all - it was an incredibly moving piece of art. I couldn't take my eyes off Chaske when he was on screen. He played his character with such dignity and depth. Wish you well through this difficult time.

As an Englishman (Part Irish too), I was left with my own set of emotions from inner voices like ' what did we do' and 'well I would have behaved better and showed mercy' then it struck me the English I imagine at that time would have seemed peculiar for the Indigenous peoples, we were a contradiction, capable of terrible brutality and yet there were those opposed to such cruelty and far more enlightened and displaying an empathy.

Sending love❤

[@AmberMarrrie]

Chaske killed this role. He was unbelievable! I hope you’re you’re in a better place now as well

[@persimmonpuddin]

'The English' hits deep in the same way seeing Dances with Wolves did in the theater for the first time. I remember how a 3hr movie was so rare the talk of it was how it would be too long for people. But this was proven to not be true at all when a tale is so poignant and meaningful that it can literally make time stand still. And that was true of 'The English' too. I was so pulled in I absorbed the full series of 6 episodes in one day. It hit so deep in my soul I felt gut punched at times and mournful at other times and completely always invested in the journey of the two main character souls that were clearly brought together by destiny. Particularly moving is the tale behind Chaske Spencer character as the Native American Soldier Scout Guide. His is a story that needed to be told in all its' painful layering depths without polishing over or Hollywood glorifying that role in anyway. As was the ugly fact that the US had psychotic soldiers doing what we'd call today horrific 'war crimes'. All in the name of their military that was already often cold-hearted and unconcerned with the indigenous people as a whole. A truth we should never forget as there were too many different dishonorable situations within: the "clearing" of the land, the Native American children "schools" and the Native Americans that served the US military. And through all of this heavy layering content, a clear love story builds in the most beautiful way between Chaske Spencer and Emily Blunts lead characters. The two of them alone carry you through with love in your own heart for them and the deep connection they discover in the power of being united through this journey.

Beautifully said! Stellar series, truly phenomenal in every aspect-like watching poetry. I’m usually not the re-watching type, but it’s been such a long since I’ve seen anything this incredible. Watched it twice now and can’t wait to do so again. Definitely one of my favourite series of all time, certainly my favourite Western. Dances with Wolves is up there for me, too!

[@elitewellnesstraining]

So Impressed by Emily and Chaska in this series! Excited to see more of Chaska Spencer! You are on your way man!! 🤩

EMILYYYYYY MY QUEEN

[@TheEnnisfan]

An amazing mini-series. It is beautifully shot and acted. Just an incredible piece of work. Watch it.

[@DariusSarrafi]

Just finished the series. Emily did a fantastic job!

[@richardybanez9052]

Emily Is A Mind Blowing Actor. This Will Be Brilliant.Richard.

[@gabbyallong]

Absolutely excellent actress. My idol. Wonderful series.

[@tylerwilliams105]

I sure hope Emily Blunt will play the live-action version of Samus Aran in the live-action movie adaptation of Metroid.

[@carouselcakes6237]

Currently on my third viewing of the best tv series I’ve ever seen. I just hope more people watch it because it deserves the recognition.

[@lizannewhitlow1085]

Terrific series. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@sunnyd4125]

Unique and beautiful series.

[@yettigetter]

Just started watching great so far

[@mtnman80212]

Is everyone from GMA not getting enough sleep?? They seem to be a little out of it?? This is Emily Blunt for god sakes!!

[@diegovalenzuela3505]

Explain to me how they are asleep???

[@impm1164]

i love the vibes between t j holmes and emily blunt,

[@natalyamartirosyan]

Is that the dude on the left? He was totally flirting with her. I can’t blame him;))

[@impm1164]

@@natalyamartirosyan his last interview with her and Dwayne Johnson was not very standard, in the breaks between live entries, it was supposedly very fun and here you can see that they both remember what Emilly and Dwayne did and said.and he's obviously smiling the whole time he's talking to her.

[@thomaslangley1571]

Looks like a good show to get stuck into.

[@chrisocmand6188]

She was so fucking good in this series. I loved her anyway, but she still blew me away in The English. Gut wrenchingly beautiful performance. Plus Emily Blunt with a shotgun on a horse? Don’t get better than that!

[@richardybanez9052]

MS. Blunt I'm Trying To Sell My Story Richard.

[@HBarnill]

No mention of The Searchers? We got Breaking Bad out of that.

1:50 ASMR 😊

[@imsparkly7968]

SPOILER Do you think the two of them would have been able to be together if it hadn't been for her infection? Or was it simply unthinkable for a white woman and a native man to live together at the time and they would have been lynched just and in itself for that? I can't stop thinking about them.

[@WhiteRabbit556]

protecting belly is she pregnant

[@petersmithyy4556]

Oh no she's had work done to her face...😢

[@terriseverson3873]

Always appreciate the anchors pumping that identity politics into entertainment, just don't get enough of it these days. It could have been said, as Emily tried, that these were well written parts, played by talented actors, telling a compelling story. But hey, why not plug some virtue signaling into it?

[@princessjulia5646]

The English is brilliant. Terrible interview waste of time
