I will say, despite my obvious frustration with the overboard challenges for Spencer to deal with (ha! overboard!) I still think this show is very good, and definitely superior to Yellowstone and 1883.

 

Agreed.

They got married in international waters by a British naval captain to avoid immigration issues. A little bit later the validity of their marriage is questioned and Spencer replies with "I don't have any documentation just a ring and love." How was that going to help with immigration?

In previous episodes a point was made that all of these British ships could communicate with each other and when pushed for proof of a marriage Spencer replies with "Some British dude married us on a ship."

Your killing me Smalls.

Also, did he really need to fling that dude out to sea? I mean it was funny but he could have just flung him into the railing. It was also bad form to just keep smacking down that dude only for him to keep escalating the situation. It would have been better to knock his ass out instead of just humiliating him. The entire scene felt forced.

But also this.  It’s not Breaking Bad or The Wire, 1a and 1b on greatest shows. But it’s damned good despite its periodic implausibility.

I watched the first two episodes and it’s not grabbing me. I don’t really care about the school girl or cowboys vs shepherds, but a show focused on the Africa hunter would be cool.

I quit then but read some of this thread and picked it back up. It gets better. Always some suspended reality though with these shows

Turns out the 9th episode is the placeholder for season 2. Bruh. At least this leaves an obvious need for season 2, as opposed to 1883.

I haven’t been back to this show until today so glad I picked up with a fucking priest beating the fuck out of a little girl. Fuck man

Didn't realize that the Emma Dutton (Jack's mom who committed suicide) was Wendy fukin Peffercorn.

Like a society girl fleeing her wedding to run off to a dangerous African village with a great white hunter who she has known for five minutes? And him being cool with it?

They wanted to hook up that badly! What is so hard to believe about that?

Seriously, the ghost ship swinging back around on them and moving to get them was massively over the top and also, the ship credit deal. Who did she say she was related to and in the party of to get the credit for their clothes?
This is a good show though and I want to watch the second season but i guess the strike is going to move it back from being shown anytime this year or next even.

They're filming at least part of S2 in Austin. 

Production company has racked up $30 grand with us (paint/stain/coatings) in 3 weeks. 

Haven't watched any of the show but guess I'll have to tune in now.

The Lion Hunter is the interesting storyline.

I liked it MUCH better than 1883, but it does kind of go downhill from Ep 1, IMO.  The stuff with the Native Americans is like an 8-episode snuff film.  I realize it's part of history, but it's hard to watch.

It’s the best of the 3 part series by far. 1883 is a fucking ripoff of Lonesome Dove. Yellowstone became ridiculous in like season 2. Sheridan has been sniffing his own farts and his work is going downhill. Hopeful he can write something solid to finish this one.

Anybody know of any of the details on S2 filming?  Apparently began filming last week.  Mostly closed-set at ATX studios.  But they've to go outside sometime.  Would love to take the girls out to the Hill Country go catch a glimpse.  Obviously, they're keeping it tight-lipped.  I don't want to bother anybody at AFC, but I know some of us some of those folks, was hoping one of you could get drunk and ask.

Yellowstone sucked shit since like episode 3. 
 

Goddamn Sheridan will always get a pass from me for his modern western trilogy of Sicario, Hell or High Water, and Wind River. But 1923 and Yellowstone were pretty shitty. 1883 and Bass Reeves were meh. Lioness was good.

 

Those who wish me dead was below average and  without remorse was crap. His script for Sicario 2 was re-written so much I dont even consider it his work

 

at least Mayor of Kingstown and Tulsa King are good.
