By mid way, I had to change the rating to a 7. I had rated this and the early two episodes a 9. Such a awful shame as there really was great potential for many story threads and a valuable insight into the type of history that is overlooked now in favor of the usual 'victim' diatribes. Even the excellent Sam Elliot gets relocated to the back seat. Strong independent women, awesome flawless minorities, 'pithweak' evil white men. Unfortunately, it heads into fantasy and becomes yet another modern identity lecture. By mid-season, it's clear we're party to the old Bait n Switch. Good production value with an important and rare story.

Who knows, it may lead me to take a peek into the Yellowstone series - eventually. (And I do like the cameos of other actors!) With 5 episodes so far, I am interested in all these folks and their journey in 1883. Sam's character, for example, has the most heartbreaking opening scene, but how he rebounds is an exciting journey that interested me. Actor Sam Elliott (whom I am a fan of) and LaMonica Garrett (who I'm not familiar with) are attractive for me so far enough to see where this will carry. The law/leaders to take folks (homesteaders, German immigrants, etc.) from one part of America to the next. Still, I will guess that narration will calm down or disappear entirely as the series progresses. It doesn't bother me as much as it bothers others (I think it exists because she may be an 'origin' character in Yellowstone). With their on the brink of womanhood, daughter played by Isabel May, she is interesting enough and provides the narration. The family in focus with actors Tim McGraw and Faith Hill do well.

The actors and their situations in this have my attention so far. The wild, untamed west is the beginning of settlements crossing America.

I want to know if they will make it with all they will face.

It is brutal, violent, fraught with diseases - the whole ball of wax and some as the episodes progress. It is slow going in the first episode (pilot) but picks up the saga of the trials of people moving west. This is an 'origin' story, but for me, without seeing the series, it was an origin of, I became curious as a stand alone. I watched the first one thinking I wouldn't get further than the first 10 minutes, but as it went on, I got interested.

For my interests in Westerns, movies like The Unforgiven, Tombstone, Good Bad, and the Ugly, Hang 'em High, etc., and my 'guilty pleasure' episode of the old Twilight Zone episodes called 'The Grave.' I wasn't a fan of the tv 'soap opera' Westerns. My interest in Westerns was limited from Gunsmoke and the Riffleman as a toddler because my Dad was a western tv fanatic.
