Joe Pickett

I absolutely love the books have read and listened to them multiple times. I couldn't even finish the first episode. Just because they live in the back country of Wyoming doesn't mean they are dumb. Everytime Joe was on screen he had this vacant expression on his face. Nate is a tall handsome white guy, I get it that the world thinks that all things need to be shared with all races so as not to be deemed racist but come on.

The TV series makes Joe out to be a fumbling "Barney Fife" of a game warden and not true to the character of the books. The plot lines and suspense are well structured but the dialogue is rough and predictable. It will entertain and engage you but the series could have been so much more. Does not do justice to the books, characters or franchise.

My main complaint is the series short changes the lead character of Joe Pickett. In the books, he is an intelligent, resourceful investigator with a sixth sense about criminal investigations but in the series, he is a stumbling, bumbling idiot that is a magnet for bad luck and only solves the crimes by falling into the situation/solution often as the last one to figure it out.

I have lived in Wyoming all of my life and we do not have southern accents, it's like they were trying to make the characters stereotypical country hicks.

Joe Pickett is a must watch for any western fan. It seems most people who've watched it seem to really like it. The only people who seem not to like it are fans of the book that are mad that it isn't exactly like the book. They don't understand that it's based off the book and has to be adapted for television. Try not to compare it to the book and just take it for what it is and that's a very good show. This started off as a Spectrum original but gained a much bigger audience when it went to Paramount Plus. I have to say I really didn't expect to like it as much as I did. I'm really looking forward to more seasons in the coming years.

Been so tired of the trash being put out that it was refreshing to watch this show.. It's back to basics... Other than a few scenes that could have been shot better, the story plot, suspense, and acting all support ne another. A very cohesive thriller that relies on all three. A real art... and no fake.action scenes used as fillers. I.m hoping and looking forward for more to come.
