    Completed viewing 10 episodes. My takeaways. The series is less about the travails of a wagon train, and more about an 18 year-old girl proving that she can be the best cowboy of the bunch. The message. How horribly the white man erred at every turn and every decision during the settling of...

    Gets better. Episode 8 - some wonderful (feature quality) effects, and hero Native Americans. It just works. If I ruled the world I’d slow down the unreadable end credits, and allow people their due credit.

    I've thus far found time to view the first three episodes of Paramount's 1883, a backstory of Yellowstone, and will return to it. My head occasionally goes to odd (creative) places, and one took me to a potential interview regarding ancestry between the wonderful Henry Louis Gates III and one...
