Heck. I bet even Captain Parmenter would have done it.I still really like this series, but tonights storyline was unrealistic.
Even Ben Cartwright would have ended the Swedes life right there at the river.
I liked it all the way to the end. I could have done without the Chinese girl/boy storyline though. It was no Deadwood but still worth watching.
I think I agree with both of these takes. The show struggled to maintain much cohesion, but the two main leads were great and there were some great moments.Finally they mercifully put this one to bed.
with a few different showrunners, it seems some of the overall arcs don't totally make sense. We never found out completely if the sergeant was really there when they killed Bohannons family. Within the show there were many wll done episodes. The whole Ruth arc was dumb.
Overall, pretty good show with some great one off episodes
Relationship between Bohannon and Elam hooked me instantly.we watched episode 1 last night
i can't watch any more
that was awful
too heavy handed for meRelationship between Bohannon and Elam hooked me instantly.![]()
Agree with the others that it started strong and was great for a few seasons, but slowly lost momentum.
Then I would give it a few more episodes. I think they did rush a bunch at the start to throw you in the action, but I wouldn't describe the first few seasons as rushed.too heavy handed for me
crammed full of stereotypes, bad accents, bad acting, rushed scenarios to force relationships and like/dislike of characters.
i prefer slower development and more mystery.
IIRC the first season was a bit of a train wreck. They replaced their writing team and I thought it really picked up in S2.Relationship between Bohannon and Elam hooked me instantly.![]()

Hah! I see what you did there!IIRC the first season was a bit of a train wreck. They replaced their writing team and I thought it really picked up in S2.
Could be. It's been a while. I discovered it at home on a sick day and blew threw half the season in one sitting.IIRC the first season was a bit of a train wreck. They replaced their writing team and I thought it really picked up in S2.
