Review :
Harsh Realism - with a touch of the things that made America Great.
Watching this has reminded me of a series of Brutal Western stories I used to read by George G. Gilman called Edge.
Add to that is is reminiscent of my days as a Civl War reenactor.
They've hit the period history right between the eyes.
They have also portrayed the Corruption and the beauty of the times. The Scenes in Kansas are as good as it gets on the small screen. . The west made for hard people, or dead ones. And the writers and directors have pulled no punches in portraying things as they were. The Harlots don't look like they live in downtown Las Vegas, and the Protagenist makes mistakes.
This series has shown extreme promise in its first two episodes, and some Excellent human drama. I'm hopeful the writers will not allow that to go to their heads, and keep it gritty and harsh, without going over the top.
