Kevin Costner's the West

I was looking forward to this series. Unfortunately, Kevin Costner's narration was boring, nasal, and sounded like he wasn't at all interested in the subject.

Despite that, I've watched about half of the first episode and learned a few bits of historical information I hadn't heard before.

It's a real disappointment that this wasn't more well done. There are so many things in this period of American history that are not very well-known by most people - this is a missed opportunity to present a more complete picture of the times and the impact of actions taken on all who were involved, as well as all their descendants.

If I really want to watch something I may finish it just for the informative parts. Otherwise, I know how to solve the problem of not being able to sleep.

Was hoping this would truly be a historical look about the West but No we can't do that, we have to Hollywood it up with their nonsense. Shame as this could have been an awesome series.

Why not focus on the hardships (droughts, dust storms, famines, diseases) that people had to endure? Nope we've got to virtue signal about how The West was settled.

Kevin Costner unfortunately has been ate up with everything that is bad with pretty much everything coming out of Hollywood now. If you've ever heard him off camera, he's absolutely clueless and in the end doesn't at all care about this great country!

I only finished Episode 2 but I had to watch it especially after I seen some reviews saying it's a snorefest or boring with these really low reviews of 2 or 3.

I was hoping this wasn't the case because I love Costner and I love American history.

Thankfully these reviews were way off. So far the show is very enjoyable and definitely paints a picture of the old west and it's history.

So far I'm loving it and looking forward to binge watching the rest. I like how it goes into detail about the history of the Indian tribes and the battles and the different stories like Louis and Clark.

Really gets my imagination going and I love that. I would give this series a shot!

I know Kevin Costner has a passion for the West and the history of the West. The directors did a real disservice to him but having him narrate this so blandly. He much better than this. Directors should've watched Yellowstone to Yosemite on Fox app. That's the real Kevin Costner.

The information in this docuseries is worthwhile. The guests sharing the history are impressive and knowledgeable. I learned things they don't teach in school.

I will recommend this series to family and friends but warn them to be prepared that Costner was not permitted to bring his passion for the stories to it. Let Costner be Costner l.

Costner is a horrendous narrator, literally no life in his voice. The historical stories are good and goes into more depth than how most people learned about how the west was founded. The biggest problem is that it's the progressive version on how the west was founded. Progressives have invaded essentially everything in American culture these days, unfortunately. The native Americans were kicked off the land and I wish it hadn't gone down the way it did. But it did. So what. The ENTIRE HISTORY OF THE WORLD can be summed up by saying all land was fought over by humans. ALL LAND. Progressives love to scream stolen land when talking about the US govt. But they can't name one place that is not stolen land. All humans have done for thousands of years is fight over land. Trying to point out that a govt has stolen land is the new virtue signing of the left. In reality, it just shows their ignorance.
