| Did anyone watch the premier last night? I was looking forward to this show for a long time and it didn't disappoint! The beginning was a little rough but I enjoyed it and I'll be tuning in every Wednesday. |

I agree... I told my hubby, they do realize, real ranchers and real country folks, cowboys, cowgirls are going to be watching this right??? Lol! |

The first 20 minutes were a bit confusing but it got better afterwards. I wish they would have done a better job with the mustang and the calf. That was just disappointing how that was done..... :/ Also, every time a horse was on the screen there was this excessive nickering....
I'm looking forward to the rest of this series. |

Huge Don Johnson fan, but Blood and Oil was ridiculous and figure this will be as short-lived as that series.

PLUS----the wild horses feet were trimmed. Ya can always find things to pick at with these movies---shoot, what I consider an all time classic---Lonesome Dove had some hickup moments also. |

I totally agree. How hard is it to get it right? Can't they hire real ranchers as consultants, goodness. The story line jumped around a lot. The girl who plays his daughter drove me nuts, what a horrible actress she is. I will keep watching it, as there isn't much on TV that's good anymore. Anything with horses in it, I will watch! LOL! |

CMT also had it on last night as well. I think right after it aired on the Paramount channel. |

It reminded me of the years-ago night-time soap Dynasty with cowboy hats except Dynasty was better. And, apparently, they wanted to make sure they got their money's worth out of that black helicopter. It was in practically every scene. And the entire 'branding' ranch workers thing was creepy.

Gosh, agreed. The helicopter was a bit much, come on!! It did remind me of the show Dallas..."cowboys" and oil.... |

I can't watch it but as far as the scenery goes it was shot partly just down the road from me in my home town. |

The scenery was magnificent and I, too, had hope -- but there was nothing to draw me in to the characters. I also plan to watch the next episode and hope since the shallow characters have been 'introduced', it will move on to great story-telling and character development..... I did appreciate the close-ups of handsome Kevin's face...… :)

Yep, Kevin needed to keep his mouth shut. These overpaid entertainers seem to have no idea there are many conservatives like me out there who figured him for better than that and flipped channels when his soap opera premiered.

It's either Paramount or CMT channel. I just switched from directv to dish so I'm not really sure. |

I read that Tim McQuay and Andrea Fappani were involved with some of their nice reining horses -- in fact, I think the 'dead' truck driver in the opening scene was Tim McQuay....???? |

There was an article in America's Horse this month about the horses in Yellowstone. Kevin's horse is by Spooks Gotta Gun. There's Bueno Chexinc, Shining Spark, Doc's Hickory, and Smart Little Lena offspring also.
Tim McQuay, Andrea Fappani, and Tom Foran (all AQHA champions) will play themselves in it at some point. It was an interesting article. . . . |

I know. I love to pick out the non-horsemen actors from the riders who sit a horse comfortably. Tom Selleck sits a horse beautifully but it has to be the right horse. Big and an easy goer. The whole cast of High Chapparel were good riders. Manolito's horse was my favorite TV horse ever. |

| I loved it! you cant get every little detail correct? are you going to let a newborn calf be manhandled by an actor? probably not.... are you really going to use a mustang on a show? no probably not.. at least they didn't use a mare and say it was a stud.. like some movies that have been about horses.
I loved that they used broke horses in this show, because we know a rich rancher is not going to ride a puke. I loved all the actors and think they did a wonderful job..

| Yea, I could find a few things to pick on, but they DID include a sound bite of Whiskey Myers..BROWNIE POINTS! I have to admit Kevin is DREAMY in this show. I thought the horses were chosen well. Completely realistic? Nah..but I will keep watching and supporting so that hopefully more production companies will want to do western material. |

I read that too, and that both of them are acting in the show, I don't even care what the show is about I would watch it just to see Fappani act LOL

| Did anyone else catch the line by Kevin Costner after he rides over to the little putting green where the land developer is practicing his golf swing? The developer asks why their town doesn't have a rodeo? Kevin Costner's character says, "Oh, you mean like rodeos who launder drug money?" I know that is not an exact quote, but it is something like that. I love watching shows that actually put fact based information in them so that people watching them can get educated on what is actually going on in the world of business, politic's, crime, etc. Also, the connection between the native American's and the casino's winning back all the white man's $$ so that they can buy back all the land the white man "stole" from them. Like "Breaking Bad", a lot of people had their eyes opened to how the drug world ties into money laundering, the slime ball attorneys, the local car wash, restaurants, etc, etc.... How many business's are really NOT so successful, yet when they are washing who knows how much illegal $$$, they can take a nobody and suddenly make that nobody look like a business genius. |

| I could have done without the gratuitious bad language, just for the sake of bad language, really I mean you don't have to drop the F bomb to be legitimate. the daughter is a little much, the "big feeling" of some scenes threw me off, for all the money they have for consultants someone could have told them not to have a new born calf run off, just as easy to let one lie there and not have a "mustang" halter broke and backing off the trailer. These were easy fixes that will stick with a knowledgeable audience.
Loved the cinematography not sure i will stick with it though, kind of disappointed. |

Well I was not impressed.......I may not have the most family friendly mouth but really dropping the 'F" bomb over and over was a bit much....even for me.......I found the plot hard to follow.........in my opinion it was a 1 star show......
And now with Kevin voicing his view........my view is not to view in again...... |
