    Superb!

    I saw this when it was aired on TV a while back, I'm a fan of Matthew Settle (Band of Brothers). What an amazing series, beautifully shot, well acted and truely gripping story!

    It is about 'an epic tale of two figures during the American colonization of the west, one white and the other Native American. Jacob Wheeler leaves his dull life behind to strike out west, while Loved By the Buffalo faces his destiny to try to fight a prophecy that his people will be wiped out by the settlers. Jacob marries Loved By the Buffalo's sister Thunder Heart Woman, uniting the two families while around them relations between the two races crumble.' synopsis courtesy of IMDB.com

    I have heard for some the story drags a little at the start and there are many characters to get to grips with and it's easy to confuse the characters as they are getting older. The combination of costumes, sets, great acting and the use of original languages make this EPIC series stand out for me.
