The thing I love about this so far is it is not trying to be Yellowstone or any similar spinoff. It is more family friendly than Yellowstone. The content is not so heavy and depressing to get through. It is just what I felt it would be, a more mellow, enjoyable story with good acting that has kept me wanting to come back for each episode.

The acting by Josh D is great for his character. I feel they could have lingered on the events in his life early on a bit longer for an emotional connection it.

The feel of the show has a mild flavor of something like Virgin River, but not nearly as Hallmark feeling as that. This show in my opinion is right down the road of what fans of a western drama are looking for. Don't go into this show looking for the grit, turmoil, intensity of Yellowstone. Come with an open mind for something enjoyable, and just a good watch.

Wow! I haven't been this hook from episode one, shoot, even 10 min in, maybe ever. What a great start to this series. Sterling Brown is phenomenal. Chris Pine's scenes are acted very well and his personality really shines in the role and character they have crafted. I never saw coming what they introduced at the end of the first episode. I just watched it over for the second time, and noticed all kinds of clues and moments that I didn't catch the first time. The first episode was worth watching twice before moving on into the second episode. The back and forth present/past was executed perfectly. Giving you great scenes for some history and building the characters and mood of the show. The soundtrack is great, and fills in just at the right times. I can't wait to see more. Highly recommended. This show is a breath of fresh air.
