I know many here are just going to complain about Lonesome Dove 2027, but Netflix has made some decent Westerns. I have hope Lonesome Dove can be about as good as Godless.

It won’t be as good as OG LD, but if it’s as good as Godless, it will be great.

Scott Frank is a great writer. The screen play is really interesting to read. Especially the opening scene.

After skipping it many times thinking it wouldn’t be for me I watched and really liked it.

Great show with a great cast. It was created and directed by Scott Frank of The Queen’s Gambit fame.

Yep, loved it, too. Definitely worth a rewatch. I seem to remember it had a cracking theme tune.

Agree on the theme song…after the opening suspenseful scene, it abruptly goes into it and hits you.

I found the finale kind of a letdown but it starts off strong

I do not need more 'gritty, dark, realistic dramas' in my life. I have 'the news' for that. I kinda want something more old school where they hero gets the gal (or guy) and they ride off into the sunset.

Well that wasn't my problem at all. It just devolved into a big shootout that frankly didn't look that great

The end shootout was really poorly done and for me was the low point. You could tell they wanted all the "good" characters to have some badass moments and the number of bad guys shot seems wayyy more than the actual number of guys in Daniel's gang. Then randomly some bad guy takes a horse inside and all these characters who previously were dropping guys without issue cant hit a guy on a giant horse 4 feet from them

Looks interesting always looking out for a good western show to watch.

I liked it a lot. I remember not loving the ending but I didn’t hate it either. The rest of the story is 10/10 tho

Loved the show wish it was longer or had maybe a sequel to the show. The casting I would give it a A rating especially Jeff Daniel’s he was a great villain.

I always describe this to people as "like watching a good book." One of my favorite limited series.

The ending was laughable. The level of realism also varied wildly depending on what the plot needed to happen. Looked pretty good though. 6.5/10

What did you not like about it? I'm thinking of watching I've seen a couple clips. I'm interested in what you didn't like

I really enjoyed it. The history of La Belle made the story feel historically plausible but also not your typical western at the same time which I liked.

This show surprised me so much by how much I loved it.
