Gillian Anderson is the Cruella De Vil of the Washington territory in the 1850s, with Game of Thrones‘ Lena Headey as her proud and gritty rival in a grim seven-part Western from Sons of Anarchy‘s Kurt Sutter. “You make extortion sound like progress,” Fiona Nolan (Headey) tells the wealthy mining matriarch Constance Van Ness (Anderson) while rejecting her latest offer for her land, which sits atop a vein of silver. While the Van Ness clan schemes against Fiona’s ragtag found family of orphans and minority outcasts, dark secrets, betrayals, and at least one forbidden Romeo-and-Juliet-style romance beset both warring tribes. Once you get used to the stilted wish-it-were-Deadwood dialogue, chances are you’ll get caught up in the sordid storytelling.
