Binged this finally. Thank goodness for the July 4th marathon. I had tried to find it on demand and finally just set the dvr and luckily marathon.
This is a really good show. Like all the other series you have to suspend disbelief, because frankly now of this shit would ever happen like this. But whatever. Same with most other shows.
The cinematography is beautiful. First class.
I’m no cowboy but they did the cowboying portions pretty right according to my grain producer eye. Credit for caring. And it really does add a lot of credibility to the story.
Costner is soooo good. Same with Reilly and Hauser. Grimes and Bentley are a step down but fine. Lots of good performances in here.
They hand waive most aspects of business, but they did do a nice job of expressing scale of equity. Dutton has a mountain of equity in farm land. But he can’t move anywhere near the money Jenkins can and Jenkins can’t move anywhere near the equity group can. That’s pretty well done actually. Most of the rest is plot devices but it would have been real easy to hand waive that one too.
Rip Wheeler is my spirit animal.
