This is a good show in that the acting is good and the period is interesting. But.....
There are flaws that seem to come up in these shows depicting the old west. First, granted that it was before my time so I can't say for certain, I really don't think people swore as much as this show makes it seem, and especially not around ladies. Secondly, families had a father and a mother, and they had defined jobs and roles. Wives were likely not consulted (I'm not saying this is good) on family business matters. They raised the children, prepared meals, ran the household, etc, and likely girls were raised to do the same. Plus, why do things seem so well lit when there is only moonlight (including tracking a horse through grass)? Seems Nike nit-picking, I know, but these little things are important to me.....
