Started with 1883 which while beautiful should've been a clear warning on just how much silly Taylor Sheridan can commit to what should've been an almost simple path to perfection. The cast is ridiculously talented. The scenery is the star of the show and you miss it when you're watching anything else with an outdoor pov. The deep hurt to the gut anyone watching gets when considering what might happen to our most beautiful parts of our country when they're inundated with more Targets Starbucks and the mediocrity minded, greedy, purposely ignorant wealthy is absolutely real. There are so many gorgeous and small scenes that do absolutely nothing to move the story forward but absolutely give urbanites and city-dwellers a moment to understand what we are missing out on. Watching these small details focused on actual ranching, actual cowboying, actual Indigenous communities and their rituals, stresses, injustices, restrictions and the oppressive laws that no one outside their culture thinks about let alone cares about. There is so much to gain from this show. As someone with even a small percentage of Indigenous DNA, maybe I'm more sensitive to the damage humans continue to wreak upon Earth as so gloriously observed during the pandemic with wild animals roaming empty and human disregarded city streets.

Unfortunately this can get lost in the high school clown show that the writers have painted their potential masterpiece into.

Instead of focusing on the beauty of the land and the common interests of far right and far left viewers, we have to watch a grown woman with no self-control, who's supposed to be brilliant at everything except looking in the mirror. And her super confusing father who from one episode to the next goes from telling his psycho daughter "do I still have my son" when he thought she had killed him to "I have one son I regret" and "I only have one son". What is that? How are we supposed to care about this family? It's just gotten silly and you'd think they'd realize we have really had enough of dirty politics. Now we are forced into being subjected to it while trying anything to enjoy what life we can without it.

An shame. No wonder KC doesn't want to come back.

I've given 10 stars before - but man this show has everything. So well done!! Schiavone is a real piece of work. But he's absolutely someone to root for. He's a hero because he's flawed. And unapologetically short on manners but his life and his perspective is absolutely hilarious. For such a wide variety of interesting cases and subordinates surrounding him, the show is brilliant. To be able to write about a detective with a serious attitude but include laugh out loud belly laughs- it's perfection. After watching countless detective shows you kind of get used to guessing what trope they'll use next. This show has kept me hooked by not being like any other series I've seen. It's interesting, he's cool, the women are beautiful and not written as idiotic, the jokes are so funny and well-played, the conversations are so well-written they're real and seamless and I'm so happy it's in Italian. I don't speak Italian but the whole show works precisely because it's in Italian...truly brilliant. BRAVO!

I gave this story 10 stars for 10 reasons.

It didn't try too hard. It didn't have to. It stems from a simple story, yes, but the twists and turns were the perfect amount and way to keep us guessing. And the story has the right amount of depth. Interesting and not confusing. And you'll care about the story and characters.

Every actor was exactly right. No over the top drama. The right ppl were the right amount of emotional at exactly the right times. They didn't force us to know their motives or showboat a specific trope of personality, which is so correct and breath of fresh air. And no one over acted. All the actors did an excellent job!

The cast was perfect.

The dragon was a multidimensional character and not just a terrorizing creature. And her voice(can't remember the name of that phenomenal actress) was perfect.

The main character is portrayed throughout with a particular character trait that I don't want to mention here but it played absolutely perfectly for such a remarkable story arc.

I love a movie that takes what seems like a simple story - and keeps it simple. I know that seems weird. But though it's simple - it is 100% not like anything else. It wasn't slow. It wasn't shallow. It wasn't trope-filled. This is the kind of movie that I would actually like to see a sequel of.

Millie Bobbie Brown just brings it. She must be a strong person because she shines as a strong brave kind intelligent hero.

The story also wasn't convoluted by a narcissistic director. Those ppl like to put it so much extra fluff to draw out a timeline and this director refrained from doing so. They knew they had just the right amount of everything for a good film. And that it's a perfect example of a good film it gets 10 stars.

I truly enjoyed watching this film.
