Review by Jimmycakes

The sets, acting, plot setup, grittiness, yeah it was all good and drew me in. However very soon my fears were coming true and Netflix just had to insert "modern" dialogue and worldviews; the women complaining about how it's a "man's world", one woman casting doubt on her religion and ridiculing her friends for it despite people back then being fanatical about religion, it felt very ham-fisted almost like the show was apologising to the audience in advance for creating characters that aren't like us today. You had men talking about how many children they wanted and then it pans to the women and their remarks insinuate that the women don't want to have children and that they're the man's property. Very on the nose, and I rolled my eyes, I wondered if this was going to be a common theme. Then in the third act all hell lets loose and I must say it has some amazing action sequences, very gory, and for me it made up for the somewhat cringy dialogue scenes.
