Started seeing trailers for this a few weeks ago and apparently it's out today. Anyone heard much about this? I'm always interested in good western settings, and I recognize a few great actors.
Dammit. I was excited about this show if it was Jeff Bridges, Jeff Daniels not so much.PlanoAggie said:
I think you guys mean, Jeff Daniels, not Bridges.
Anyway, I've watched the 1st episode -- I want to like it, but not quite sold on it yet. I'll give it another episode to suck me in. We'll see
So in your opinion this was not an accurate representation of the time period? Jeff Daniels was absolutely superb in this series, I will watch again. Hopefully they can take this series and do it like True Detective. But please, don't let the second season suck outloud.PineTreeAg said:
I liked it and agree they pulled some very common western cliches, but they seemed to work really well.
Jeff Daniels pulled off the villain just fine.
I was OK with the length...it allowed for some good character development and incredible scenery.
Some of the violence, language, and nudity was a little over the top for me for a western, but this is typical of Netflix productions. I'd like to see more family oriented westerns like I watched growing up as a kid. Either way, Netflix should definitely pursue this genre more.

I didn't think the last episode was all bad, but the shootout was pretty ridiculous. Too many unnecessarily/unrealistically risky decisions made.
I liked the show a lot until then. Jeff Daniels did a fine job as the villain, and Jack O'Connell (from Unbroken) was excellent as Roy Goode.

Should I watch Deadwood then? Wasn't it ended early? Or is it good enough to watch anyways?
