The acting all round is superb but seeing Jeff Daniels playing the bad guy is something else. I’ve never seen Jeff Daniels play a bad guy and I’ve seen him in a lot of things! That was certainly a bold casting choice by the producers.

I read the synopsis on Netfix and thought................NOPE, Hell No! a town ppopulated only by women. Really?
I like westerns, I am not a western nut but I enjoy them, Some of the old classic John Ford, John wayne and the spagetti westerns especially. But I just can't seem to enjoy the new ones for some reason.
The remake of True grit? I could barely understand what the hell jeff bridges was saying spoiled it for me. But I digress.
Is this really worth a watch?

Just watched the first two episodes. Now I'm hooked, Dammit. Thanks a lot!

Well I've recently enjoyed Westworld and Deadwood, so why not Deadwood was a once in a lifetime, classic. Not gonna see stuff like that from 'Hollywood', ever again. I have all the DVD's from all 3 seasons. They really should have bucked the Hearst Media family, and made a 4th season. But I guess looking at your families history, through a clear lenses, is tough for the powerful. So it either gets changed, or erased....... David Milch lacked the moral courage to continue the series......sad man. The last episode of season 3, says it all, with Hearst on the stage, run out of town. Not something the new powerful family, would approve of. Comstock mines wasn't such a sweet record of their family history either....... Wonder how they're gonna 'erase' that history.

Episode 1 under my belt, but can't say it hooked me. Felt a little bored actually. The acting by some.. below par. The sheriff's sister.. wow, sounded like she was reading her lines. Amateur. Seems they are relying on "over the top" death and destruction antics.
I'd rather see a series based on Unforgiven. A bad guy that is actually scared when he gets in gun fights - and people who have trouble shooting someone 10 feet in front of them with a pistol because of the huge amount of adrenaline and fear that overtakes their system - like real humans.
