Overall, we enjoyed it a lot, but there were some issues, particularly the grand finale. It's like the writers extracted every cliche moment from every cowboy movie ever made and packed it into a ten minute sequence. The individual confrontation at the end was formulaic and a bit corny. Some dated materials didn't match up (e.g. based upon Frank Griffen's description of the Mountain Meadows Massacre, Frank would have been 37 years old at the most in 1884..... not plausible. Also, Frank mentioned "Burma Shave," which wasn't invented until 1925). They also left a few things dangling, at least a bit, like the Native American and his dog, the killing of Roy's brother and to a lesser extent, the old Native American woman. I think they could have corrected some of this with 9 episodes instead of 7.

4 out of 5 stars, nonetheless.

All IMHO, of course.

Wow, spoilers.

Wow, spoilers.

From a show that aired in 2018?

To be fair, I didn't look at the dates, and I'm not planning on watching it. I was just surprised. I always tend to use spoilers when writing spoilers. I know time changes things, though.
