I’ve persisted with The Abandons despite being triggered in the first episode and then, taking a over a week before watching the next episode. Why did I come back to it? I’m not sure other than being intrigued to see where a show (and a western at that) starring not one but two female leads, goes.

The main event and catalyst in the first episode put me off wanting to watch more. But here I am 4 episodes in and wondering which of the two women, Constance Van Ness (Gillian Anderson) or Fiona Nolan (Lena Headey), will win the day in their battle of wills.

How will it all end? In hell fire and damnation I suspect.
