...if the show was cut to 3, or maybe 4 episodes. Most of the story was unique, and the acting was great, but the pacing was terrible. The well done action scenes were too few, compared to the many sleepy conversations. Most of the stylized cinematography was original and beautiful, but often annoying, for example: the sun blazing directly into the lens, or the night scenes being too dark, and interior scenes with a bright window in the background making the actor hard to see in shadow. Minor complaints, but when frequently reoccurring, these type of things do take me out of the story.
The English is definitely worth watching for fans of the Western genre, as it's really original looking, often entertaining, and has some unusual plot points. But I won't watch it again; it's just too time consuming. Too bad, there's some great stuff in there.
