It takes both hands to describe this innovative Western TV series (though owing more than a little to Hec Ramsey IMHO) that initially intrigued and then caused me to gradually lose interest and stop watching.
On the one hand it was cleverly written and very well acted, especially by Tom Berenger.
On the other hand it was so politically correct that I could guess who the villain was, usually in the first 15 minutes, just by applying the "logic" of political correctness: (The villain can never be a member of any approved minority so it can never be an Indian or a black or a Chinese person or a female or a poor and downtrodden person, etc., and the minute there's a rich, prejudiced, white male on the suspect list, "At ease, Mounties, we've got our man."
I think I guessed wrong only once, and in that episode the villain turned out to be a rich, prejudiced, white female.
