This show started strong but has started to fade quickly for me. It’s a Taylor Sheridan cliche at best in my opinion. The number of times they rehash the same things over and over - for instance the troubles facing them on the road ahead - is unbearable. Throw in a little cheesy music and some overdone narration while we’re at it. And we’re 5 episodes in and they haven’t even left Texas yet!
In a recent episode they left part of their group behind and a day later they could see smoke from said group a few hundred yards away. I think wagons can go a bit further than that in a day.
The one thing that really gets me though is that they’re trying to pass this off as 1883 and yet pretty much every character has perfect teeth.
I don’t know, maybe it’s because we were just finishing up watching one of the best shows all-time - The Wire - when we started this. Or maybe it’s because it truly is just shoddy work. But the IMDB ratings for this show are thru the roof so YMMV. I will give it one thing though, the cinematography is top shelf.
