…and we found ourselves unintentionally rolling with laughter.
First episode made an okay impression. Some things in the narrative felt really ‘out there’ in regards of credibility but the pacing was quite fast so it wasn’t boring to watch either.
Now, it’s in the second episode things really went up another gear.
It was incredulously; funny that they actually found dinosaur bones on their land to which my wife replied: “Those aren’t REALLY dinosaur bones, silly! That’s just something they tell their kid to keep him happy”.
Nope, Those are actually, intact dinosaur bones he found by making a perfect TNT explosion.
So 10 minutes later in the episode, Kayce is driving along the road with his wife and this meth lab explodes at exactly the same time they drive past.
Kayce has to make the difficult moral choice of killing a severely burned victim to end his suffering.
So Kayce’s wife is like “Yeah, do it. Relieve him from his suffering”. My own wife is looking at my and says “That family sure is having a busy week”.
Mind you, this is the second guy Kayce killed in as many episodes, the first one being his brother-in-law.
In the second (or third) episode Kayce is now driving with his son explaining he’s gonna do another military tour, and suddenly stops near a suspicious white van and he takes out his gun.
At this point, I say jokingly to the screen/my wife: “Kayce… for the love of God, please stop killing people!”.
My wife replies that surely that’s not what’s gonna happen.
Within seconds, Kayce straight up kills another dude that charges out of the van.
We now really start laughing at the absurdity of this show.
In the meantime; there is this second guy escaping from the van that Kayce chases with his lasso.
‘Well… at least he’s not killing this one’ my wife says.
Kayce lassos the guy who trips over smashing his head on a rock.
Boom, dead.
At this point my wife and I are pissing ourselves.
This show has been called “The Sopranos with horses” but, really buddy,…
“The Sopranos” this show ain’t.
