I’m really excited to see Jack O’Connell in something like this. He’s fantastic in Starred Up and i had him pegged as the next Tom Hardy.
I’m also getting a kick out of seeing Lady Mary (shut up) as a western hero.
First episode is GOOD. Greatly atmospheric. Jeff Daniels is going to steal the whole show and there’s some serious Mad Max/Furiosa vibes between O’Connell and Dockery.
I won’t be able to continue until tomorrow afternoon, though.

Started watching the first episode. When the intro started it made me think, this is how a season of True Detective in the ol' west would start.
Oh. The music credit clears that up.

Not feeling the pilot at all.
It ends up surprisingly (disappointingly) generic. The whole “feminist western” angle is actually kind of a lie as it’s got 3 male leads.
It’s really the best version of a story you’ve seen several times before. Technically flawless but not surprising.
I feel like I’ve only started threads for ultimately passable or outright bad tv or film projects.
:shrug:

Kinda left me feeling like the Deuce. Looks great, actors I like, but I just end up deleting the episodes off my dvr cuz' I'm never gonna watch it.
If you have a hankerin' for western, Damnation on USA is really good from what I've seen.

I got quite a bit further with The Deuce, but ultimately bailed out as I didn’t believe in any of the characters.
That feeling when you realize something you're just starting's gonna be fantastic.
Sigh. I wish Generation Smartphone-Gangsta' Rap had a desire to watch westerns. They make them better now than they ever had.
Really enjoying Godless, half way thru episode 2, and all the storylines and characters have settled into their groove.
If I had to decide between watching either the new season premiere of Game Of Thrones or the Deadwod movie my head would explode.
