I haven't watched a western since Bone Tomahawk.....
/AKA Saw: Indian Country
Yeah - if the first episode disturbed you, skip the rest. The finale is pretty brutal. I enjoyed it a lot, but I'd watch Jeff Daniels take a walk in the park. Ever since I saw him in Gettysburg, I'll watch anything he's in. At least anything without Jim Carrey in it...I watched the first episode I just find it disturbing way to much violence going on.
I know some folks that claim this is a brutal show and hard to watch, but are more than OK with Game Of Thrones. Go figure..................
Winchester lever guns everywhere. What's not to like?
Only 7 episodes
Did you actually watch the series? It explains why there are no men (I'm not going to explain for spoiler reasons), and the guys on the stage are not there to marry them, they are potential investors to help them re-open the mine.The town in the movie, for some yet unexplained reason, only has women living there. There is one brief scene where prospective husbands have arrived on stage to interview for possible marriage. One of the ladies looks between buildings and on the other side in the distance, you see a totally naked woman going fishing. The scene is so out of context that you wonder what the director was thinking.
You should watch Bone Tomahawk. Wow, that's a dark one.The first episode opens with a sheriff's posse riding into a town, dead rotting bodies everywhere, Next at night a lady confronts a stranger who doesn't "declare himself" so she shoots him out of the saddle. An "badman" and his owl hoot henchmen visit a Doctor in the middle of the night. The "badman" tells the doctor he has been shot. Next you see the Doc looking at the wound in his arm and you can see through the bullet hole out the other side and the Doc explains that he has to amputate the Badman tells him to go ahead. The scene shifts outside. A pair of gunman are talking while this is going on you hear the Badman screaming in agony as the Doc cuts off his arm. That is just how is starts out. Is there such a thing as a Gothic Western if there is this is one. It reminds me of Clint Eastwood's High Plains Drifter (1973) only much, much darker and fantastically more brutal. As I watch this western I am thinking to myself zombie gunslinger cowboys would not be out of place on this one.
If Quinton Tarantino made a TV show...High production values. Well-written and acted. OTT sex and violence. Anyone recognize this formula?
To be fair, sex not prominent in the one episode I've watched. One rape, and no nudity even.
Just watched the final episode and all I can say is "Wow, what a ride".
I understand Netflix is the money behind this but the writing and production quality is to be noted and praised .....unsure who to credit ....Cheers
Great first season!
