I watched all the episodes back to back. It was compelling and as my title says, utterly absorbing. The characters were three dimensional, the script was pithy and believable. The acting, Emily Blunt and Chaske Spencer, as the main protagonists was completely marvellous. And Rafe Spall has a chance to show how good an actor he really is. (Incidentally, someone else's comment about Blunt's accent being all over the place, is insane. This is her normal English voice!)
The cinematography was beautiful. Arnau Valls Colomer is an inspiring artist. Hugo Blick has produced such a marvellous event. This series will stay with me for a long, long time.
I found the music completely fascinating. Federico Jusid's music fit the series perfectly; weaving impressions of American folk songs from the period and more recent with more impressions of Rachmaninov and Dvorak.
This was a tour-de-force. I loved it!
