Shot GREAT, casted decently, but gosh almighty was the writing terrible. It was flat, it was predictable, and many of the characters were insufferable or motives just didn’t make a lot of sense.
I’m glad it was 6 episodes, because I couldn’t have done 8.
Edit: Let me not be lazy and add some depth to this. Read if you like:
From small things like the boy being crippled but not, to snapping his leg and then being serviceable on it the morning after.
From the Shoshone wanting peace, but deciding on war after they accept Abish (a lady they barely knew) into their village.
The coincidence of “Scalped bro” killing abish in the end? + knowing the Mormons was the killers but still went with them anyways, so it didn’t matter anyways accept for cook being killed?
So we’re going to California after all we’ve been through? Though we don’t know how to get there?
Wild bill gets half his foot chopped off and then?? Nothing.
Isaac is a one man army the whole show then dies in the end?! And Sara falls in lov… okay…
I can literally go on. I didn’t even get into the dialogue. 5/10.
