10 TV Shows That Are Somehow Getting Better

8. The English

The White Lotus
Amazon Prime

Whilst you can watch all episodes of The English on Amazon Prime and BBC iPlayer, it is still being shown weekly on BBC Two, so it counts.

Starring Emily Blunt and Chaske Spencer, The English is a revisionist history drama about a woman who travels to the American West in 1890 to seek revenge for the murder of her son.

Whilst Lady Cornelia Locke (Blunt) is there, she meets Sgt. Eli Whipp (Spencer), a Native American who is seeking to reclaim the land owed to him by the White man.

Yeah, good luck with that.

The two form a bond and even discover that they have things in common. The action unfolds over a beautiful Western background, which was probably afforded by Amazon's involvement in the show. They set the standards pretty high with The Rings of Power.

As well as being visually stunning, Blunt and Spencer do a great job with their characters. As the episodes unfold and we learn more about them, it's impossible not to become attached to the pair and root for them in their respective fights for justice.

None of this "bingeing" nonsense, alright? Watch it weekly like the rest of us.
