The opening episode was thrilling as it picks up during the American civil war with a black man fighting for the confederates although it soon becomes clear that he's still considered a lesser person even though he's risking his own life. They should've concentrated on this premise as it initially evolved into the two best episodes of the serious. Following this it becomes pretty boring to be honest and the episodes are criminally short, falling into streaming shows, 101, 'let's make this movie into 8 episodes'. The acting is competent and the production, as you'd expect from Taylor Sheridan is first class, just a shame the final product falls way below.
