Jax R. @RT45523770 May 27 One of Taylor’s best shows out there, and honestly, it might be my favorite. I wasn’t the biggest fan of the constant narration, but the cinematography throughout the show was beautiful. I also really enjoyed how historically accurate it felt to the late 1800s. There were a few moments that felt dry at times, but once the show picked up, it more than made up for it by the end.

See more Olivier S @RT74303487 Mar 24 Takes a few shows to get into it, at least until episode 3 or 4, then the writing it SO GOOD, interior, deep, no words to describe it. The natives did not feel credible to me is one false note, but all the main actors are magnificent...Characters grow on you big time. Incredible series. Bravo See more Mickey P. @MickeyPitt Mar 2 The first shows were a 5 of 5. Then it "lost the plot" it seems. The finish was meh. See more Charlie H @RT12994701 Nov 25 What a ride! One of my favourite shows. See more steve s @RT86581199 Jul 13 I liked the first half of the show but couldn't wait for it to end during the second half See more Read all reviews
