OMG I am hooked. I would put this series in the same category as HBO Deadwood, it's that good!

1. We have been and it is a mixed bag to me

I really think it has potential, but I could do without the voice over diary and the glaring error regarding the oxen vs horses at the start was rather silly.

2. I like hearing the story told though the eyes of a young girl. Pissed me off

though when they killed her cowboy boyfriend.

5. One second I was crying then gasping when she shot him

Love the show

[Emile]

6. I know, I had tears running down my face. She has

to be tough, she is suppose to be the great great grandmother of Beth Dutton (Kevin Costner daughter on Yellowstone).

[questionseverything]

8. I thought it would be her little brother that is the present day dutton's great grandpa

What did I miss?

[Emile]

9. I'm just guessing on great great, you may be right on just great? Anyways it's a great show!

[questionseverything]

10. That same writer also has king's town on

It’s really good too

11. We watched the first two episodes and like it too.

16. You need to put a *SPOILER ALERT* in your OP!

And you need one in this subject line as well! You just spoiled me here! People may be at different points in the viewing experience, especially when shows are streaming. Including the words *SPOILER ALERT* before you mention a major plot event is considered a common courtesy. I was really enjoying this show, too, but I am not at the same viewing point as you, so I have now been spoiled for feeling what you felt when you saw this happen. I am so disappointed

[Emile]

17. Sorry

[Silver Gaia]

18. Thanks for editing your OP! Much appreciated.

Apology accepted. It IS a great show, and evidently, is getting a lot of buzz and viewers nationwide. All good!

3. We're watching and really like it,,,,

my only grump is that it's a new series and we have to wait a week (or more) between shows

also I have decided that if I were alive back then,,,, I probably would not have made it any further West than Ohio,,,, I do love my 'creature comforts".

7. The first episode when he carries 40 gallons of hot water upstairs in hotel to take a bath...

Reminds me of an episode--years ago--when I could not get my hot water heater either serviced or replaced for four weeks. I had to turn off the hot water and gas and boil water, carrying it upstairs to the shower every damned time. That's when having one of those enormous wheeled insulated coolers comes in really handy because even being conservative, it takes 10-15 gallons to wash/rinse your hair and bathe and heaven forbid if you are trying to color your hair~LOL.

12. The look on his wife face (Faith Hill) when her husband (Tim McGraw) carried

the buckets of water upstairs pretty much guaranteed he was going to get some. .

14. same here.. ive watched Wagon Train for a cpl years and just the rocking and instability

..of those wagons would have made me walk! My family never migrated any further West than the Oklahoma Territory.

4. Isabel May plays the daughter. She was also Georgie's dream girlfriend on Young Sheldon.

13. ive been meaning to watch it only because I want to see Sam Elliot :)

..im re-watching The Ranch for the 3rd time for that same reason...

15. It's pretty good but not at Deadwood's level

The writing and acting in Deadwood was some of the best ever on tv. Milch is unparalleled at dialogue and when you look at the careers of actors who first made an impression on Deadwood - like Olyphant, Bell, Dillahunt and Hawkes - they are way above anything on this show. McGraw is ok but Hill is not an actress. Sorry, but that's my take.

[Emile]

19. True. Deadwood was an amazing western series.

This 1883 is totally different type of western, but my god its pretty good too!
