The writers have excelled here like no other, good laughs. Add the slow pace w/ nice cinematography. Keep it up! Preciate what you're doing!

Slow start continues into the 2nd episode
silverton-379595 January 2021
Maybe this is starting to jell. The development of the relationships may be necessary, but it does slow the story down. At least the score improves a little with a great song by Tyler Childress, "Lady May". It's a welcome change from all the "new country" Hat Band mush that is usually stuck in here. I'm about as sick of Blackberry Smoke as I can get.

The new hire, Teeter is terrible, though. Jen Landon can't manage a Texas accent, though there are many of them to choose from. What she comes up with sounds like a Georgia girl with a speech impediment.

The biggest plot hole is that the developers are trying to build a city, as though the highways already exist for hauling what a city needs to support itself. Sure, the buyers of land and the skiers can fly in, but the truckers would be 10 years away from being able to supply everything needed for "Park City" as envisioned by the developers, since the necessary interstate highway system doesn't yet exist in that part of Montana..

Idyllic
85122214 May 2022
Greetings from Lithuania.

Second episode of season 3 was probably the most idyllic so far. Everything was almost perfect for every character (almost), and it felt that this could be a perfect goof feel ending. Yet we kinda feel it won't be as peacefull as it looks, because its just he way life works.

Huge props to location managers of this show - the landscapes in this particular episode were beautiful and epic. Great episode.

Season three going well
BigSoulDiva2 January 2021
I can't believe, after the tonally inconsistent and clunky structure of earlier seasons, how good this episode was. The characters are well sketched comprehensively for the first time ever. Josh Holloway is an inspired addition to the cast, and his chemistry with the show's most ferocious character is so much fun. Just so many fun plus tender moments in this. And a shocking twist.

Episode 302
bobcobb30116 August 2020
The rest of the stuff going on is not bad, but everything about Beth is painful to watch. The scenes are unbelievable and cringeworthy.

Dances with wolfs
BruceWayne320 April 2022
I love how this show is suppose to be Montana and it shows people wanting to kill wolves. The dirty disgusting rat of a gov in Montana loves to slaughter wolves. Anyone that lives there that wants to shoot a wolf is a rat, only little boys who can't get hot chicks hunt wolves, get a new hobby dorks.

Far too cheesey-happy with not enough story
rabbitmoon19 September 2022
This episode is the first that had me yawning and checking how much was left. It was almost a parody of itself. There's only so much cow-lassoing, croaked out Dutton profundities and smiley Rip I can take. Where's the drama? You can't crank it up to S2's climax then wind it all the way back to a happy-clappy cheesefest, it almost gave me anti-drama whiplash. Where are the threats? I couldn't even care for the dumb agents trailer-swerving oversight. Am I supposed to be anxious about murderer-Jamie's predicament in hiring a new agent? Or care about Rourke building a city? I miss those psycho casino brothers and Dan Jenkins, they were all so good and the show feels empty without them.

Literally laughed out loud at some of the scenes. Show is starting to decline.

Love this show but...
jerrodcrummel12 March 2022
I really love this show, but it's made the daughter the worst person on the planet, and then the best person ever because she can help the family she's destroying and trying to take over. But, none of this is ever alluded to. These amateur writers thinks no one picks up in their constant symbolism. Watch the show and note that when Kasey's wife is a teacher, there's a comment made by a white kid and she directly implied that he's raped a girl. Then again, a white guy, who is conveniently placed among all ethnic kids except one other white guy they intentionally made blurry so we'd focus on all the made up racism.

S03E02 - cringe
bierbreth14 December 2021
Okay, this is my first problem with this show after two seasons: the new character, Teeter, is just bad. Another California person who simply cannot even remotely perform a Southern accent. Not only is the accent stupid and tone deaf, but the actress is so over the top as to be painful. The stupid pink hair is maybe the dumbest choice of all, because the acting and bad accent aren't choices; they're simply a lack of actual talent. The pink hair choice is asinine, because any self-respecting cow hand would never affect such a played-out statement, especially one that was as antiestablishment as this character is being apparently "portrayed". Pink hair is just as inane as blue hair. It's just another bandwagon that the ridiculous suburban kids are doing-for the third time in history-to be 'radical'. Just as with the tattoo fervor: expressing their individuality by being part of the crowd. Yeah, sorry to the actor playing Teeter, but you're really bad, and whoever cast you has dented the credibility of this formerly fairly authentic production. What a shame.

SoCal meets Texas
nemesis-8820 October 2020
BS-du-jour: Jen Landon from California trying to do Texan accent. Pathetic!!!

The whole scene when they confuse it with SPANISH is just awful and racist. Racism seems to be the main selling point of this whole show. Shame on Costner for producing this white supremacy propaganda.
