Masterful Movie

Boring

Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

I started watching this show because it seemed to be interesting due to the nature of the title.The Pilot gave me impression that it will be about the immediate post war situation, that offers many interesting plot lines due to emotions running high after the South lost the war.Duck me I was wrong.1. Script is bland, boring and unimaginative. There are few weak attempts at humor, they fall flat.2. Character development is non existent.3. Direction - bunch of monkeys could do a better job.4. Acting is average at best.5. Everything is repetitive and it gets old after episode 4.6. I am no expert on wild west, but nonetheless this show looks way to clean and stunningly unrealistic. (I know it is just a TV show, but for ducks sake, make a ducking effort).7. Filming location in the vastness of the American landscape is always the same old quarry that we can see from different angels. That is it. I can understand limited budget but nonetheless, they should have at least tried to find more diverse filming locations. Avoid at all costs, unless you are on a night shift and you need a background noise.

The Pinkertons were a "detective agency," read: hired mercenaries for the U.S. government protecting the ruling elite's business interest. They literally assassinated striking workers and other dissidents so that capitalist ruling class could prevail and continue to exploit the labor of the working class. Kind of in really supremely bad taste to name a TV show about detectives "The Pinkertons" and paint them as "the good guys." Really gross.

The train was great and the initial setup looked impressively realistic but from then on it was all downhill. Pity there wasn't a real train crash rather than the metaphorical one we had to ultimately endure.This was like a poor remake of a mediocre 1950's western. The dialogue was stilted and dull, lacking any interest and completely failing to contribute to the development of the characters, such as they were, being one dimensional and very, very wooden. Little touches such as the attempts at humour in the boxing of the son's ears or giving him a female boss and just watching his pained expression were just out of touch with the demands of modern drama. It would have been better and more fun if the good guys wore white hats and the bad, black. As it was it was necessary to spend a few seconds reminding yourself that he was OK, he was naughty and he was very unpleasant but unlikely to hurt anyone. Awful.

I think this was one of the best shows in years. I wish they would put it back on. I keep checking. PLEASE bring it back... I not only like westerns, I like trains, and I like old detective shows. So with the combination, I really enjoyed this show. I watched every episode that season and am really disappointed that that did not continue it. It is hard to come up with 10 lines. Just please bring it back. Most shows out there on regular TV is garbage and I see why they are bringing back some of the older shows that has morals in them and just plan life. This show was great. We need more shows like this and even more western shows and movies. Please bring it back.
