Very surprised....pleasantly so...and ignore the bitchers and whiners, make your own mind up (mild spoiler)


At first, I did not plan to watch this show at all after hearing it was going to be brutal as what the west really was (my reasoning was, after already being quite informed about our horrific treatment of indigenous people, I didn't desire to see more of what I've already seen - thankfully, aspects of what I didn't want to see weren't present - though the slaughter was still portrayed).

Next, how this series ended is how these series should end - tie up about all needed loose ends and leave dangling plot lines that could indicate a second season without cliched cliffhangers).

Lastly, ignore the infantile people that bitch about no nudity during rapes scenes or during sex or the like. Such daft people need to stick to comic book movies. In all of the available streamig selections, a person could do much worse than this one.

I liked it as well. Well acted, well directed, great cinematography and set pieces. I liked the gritty atmosphere. Good pacing and storyline. 8 out of 10.

When I first came across this, I didn't know it was based on a historic account. One I had never heard of. This wasn't so much about indigenous people getting treated badly. It was pretty much Europeans wiping out other Europeans and trying to frame the indigenous population for their crime. (Probably just as horrific, tho)

I liked the main characters (especially 2 moons), but seeing them in a 2nd season that's not based on actual history like this season was, sounds boring. if they can fit this fictional trio into more history, then I'm all for it.

Agreed. The immaturity is staggering.

In spite of playing around with some artistic license when it came to the historical events, the series was excellent in every way. I might let it rest a couple of months then watch it again.
