I predict Emmys for best limited series, best actress (Emily Blunt), best actor (Chaske Spencer), maybe best supporting actor (Stephen Rea), writing, cinematography, and score. The story is poetically and artfully told. There is genius behind it. Horrible violence, and there is a lot of it, is off screen - you see the reaction of people hearing it, knowing it-or it is in silhouette or at a distance. There are good people to root for. Emily Blunt delivers a beautiful soliloquy about her baby, profound writing delivered by an exceptional actress. It is visually stunning, showcasing the expansiveness and vastness of the plains of the American West. The story unfolds delicately, and in the end left me with a sense of well being. Why? After all the badness, there is goodness--people making self-sacrificing decisions for others.
