Summary
In 1890, an Englishwoman arrives in the American West seeking revenge against the man she holds responsible for her son's death. She crosses paths with a Pawnee ex-cavalry scout pursuing his own claim to ancestral land, and the two form an uneasy alliance as they journey through a brutal frontier shaped by violence, racism, and buried secrets.

Rotten Tomatoes carries a separate audience for the same title, 83 of whom clear the calibration test. The calibrated figure is built from 321 reviewers whose rating history varies enough to place their own average. A broader pool of 328 reviewers with two or more reviews feeds the raw-average track instead. 1,093 other miniseries from the 2020s form the cohort it is ranked inside.
How the score was built
We compare the reviewers of this title against every other title those same people reviewed. Each review is scored relative to the reviewer's own baseline — a 7/10 from a hard grader sits well above their average, while a 7/10 from a generous grader sits below theirs. Every reviewer then counts the same, so the result is a calibrated consensus rather than a raw average.
- Global percentile
- Where The English lands against every title we rank.
- In-cohort percentile
- The same comparison narrowed to its cohort — titles of the same format released in the same decade. A 1970s film is judged against 1970s films, not against last year's streaming series. Ranked against TV Mini Series · 2020s (1,094 titles).
- AI-adjusted percentile
- The same reviewer-normalized score, corrected for how much confidence the sample supports: thin samples are pulled toward the corpus average. Each title keeps the share n / (n + 53) of its measured distance from the average, where n is its calibrated-reviewer count, and the result is ranked on the same scale as the global percentile.53 is the median sample size across everything we rank. Here n is 321.
