April 25, 20223 yr Lost redux so far. They just keep adding layers of weird nonsensical shit with each episode.

April 25, 20223 yr Spoiler whats up with the rocks that make everyone willing to give up real estate for a pebble? I was confused by the poker hand scene. I was only half paying attention but didn't she have a flush against his two pair but he somehow won? Or did he have a full house? Regardless when the show demonstrated that he won by cheating, I didn't care enough to rewind to watch again. Oh, and if someone made a joke/not-joke that I had to show them my feet before playing poker with them, I would step away. I don't play with crazy. Edited April 25, 20223 yr by Nice Guy Eddie
April 25, 20223 yr Author Spoiler When the Bison showed up, my assumption is that its a reference to time travel. Maybe he was able to see the past and see what his hand was and pocket the card he needed. This show is confusing as fuck and I don't feel like we'll get many answers soon.
April 27, 20223 yr This may be obvious to everyone else, but it took me forever to place Brolin’s oldest son. Crazy Ben from Ozark.
May 1, 20223 yr Finished the 6 episode season. Spoiler Royal is the past. His name reflects his fading stature as American royalty -- the rancher king. Autumn is the future. Her name reflects the change from the past to the future, the old dying to make way for the new. This theme is also reflected in the bison-with-arrows -- a symbol of what preceded the rancher kings and had to die for the ranchers to rise. This overarching theme of time and the ending of eras is hinted at with the recitals about Chronos. I love the ambition. I love the premise. The original score is fantastic. I loved the first 2 episodes, after which I thought this was going to be the best show ever. Now after 6, I think its collapsing under its own pretentious weight. The dialog and acting in the last 2-3 episodes became ridiculously melodramatic and the characters actions make little sense. The confrontation between Royal and Autumn was particularly cringe worthy. I'll give it a chance again if/when there is a season 2. I hope it bounces back to the form of its first 2-3 episodes, but I aint gonna bet the west pasture on it.
May 1, 20223 yr Author Perfect analysis. I WANT it to be good. But I’m not sure it is. At times it’s horrible.

Royal’s prayer at the dinner table with his family is some of the best TV I have ever seen. His riding off with Autumn on the ATV in the night and confrontation with her after she jumps off is some of the worst. The show has a lot of promise, but it’s quality over time is trending in the wrong direction.
May 1, 20223 yr That wasn’t the finale was it? Weird place to end. I probably won’t watch season 2 if that was it.

May 2, 20223 yr Spoiler So is Autumn Royal’s daughter from an affair (missing daughter-in-law?), sister from the 1800s, or granddaughter who grew up? I initially thought sister, but now I’m not sure. She’s definitely a time traveler though—and she has to be related in some way to Royal.

May 4, 20223 yr WTF Do I have some weird setting on my tv? What is all the fucking narration shit? I figured 1st 5 minutes ok. But this seems to on and on.

May 7, 20223 yr This show is batshit insane. I was a little skeptical mid season, but it kinda doesn’t give a fuck which I respect.
May 7, 20223 yr They kinda tied it up pretty well with still some dangling threads for a second season. If it doesn’t get another season, it was just enough info for you to theorize how to fill in a lot of the gaps and still be a decent series finale.
May 7, 20223 yr Look at the big brain on Cooter! I'm still a bit lost. Why did the wife get the stuffed bear to bite her hand? WTF?
May 7, 20223 yr Spoiler tagged for now.... Spoiler - I presume the kid at the edge of the hole when young Royal popped out was Tillerson - "When" did Perry go? - Who is the dude that invited Chief onto his property? Had we seen him before because he now seems important? Is she trapped or can she just walk back? - I presume now that Royal figured out who Autumn is, his death flash forward makes more sense -- he, Autumn/Amy, and his wife all look friendly in that moment. Royal was trying to kill Autumn to prevent that vision from happening. Autumn wanted to be friendly with Royal but lost her shit when he tried to scare/kill her and burned her stuff, including what must have been some meds. - "Mom" on the phone is Amy's mom. Now we know that. So season two is what was she afraid of and why did she run away from the family? I presume she found out about Royal somehow. I think there are going to be some more closed circles here like Amy/Autumn next season. After a dip, I enjoyed the hell out of that finale.

We finished it last night with too many questions and you saw shit I missed.
May 7, 20223 yr Singing cowboy annoyed the fuck out of me. I don't think I was high enough to get this show.

May 11, 20223 yr I’m so fucking confused that I can’t even determine if it’s a good show or bad show yet. But I can’t stop watching.
May 11, 20223 yr On 5/10/2022 at 9:14 AM, futureman said: why did mom puncture her hand with the baby bear tooth? I had that same question too so I went back and watched it and it has something to do with the women's bible study group story. They were talking about bears and sin. I think she did it for some nutty religious interpretation she got out of the bible study. That is all I got.

May 15, 20223 yr I watched the first couple of episodes and lost interest. Nothing else to watch so revisited hoping for better. It did. It’s weird as shit but I’m growing more intrigued, especially with the Royal confession. I assume the bear and bison are characters that have somehow been reincarnated as animals? Don’t know how else to explain that. Only question is how do Autumn and Amy exist in the same time? So if Autumn runs into her at the ranch just say sup? Josh Brolin is made for this. He’s a great fucking Western actor. Edited May 15, 20223 yr by Mach 1 Brolin

May 15, 20223 yr I will give it a 6 or 7 out of 10. Enough for me to continue watch, if it gets renewed. But my attention waivers and is on shaky grounds with the story. one major problem is that I don’t really care about any character.

May 19, 20223 yr Cool, lots of questions but which ones were actually answered aside from perhaps the most you’ll-never-see-this-coming-except-you-totally-will-after-one-episode twist that Autumn was the girl in the last two mins of the show? Who was actually a likable character? Why the painful musical every episode? Was the comedy intentional or a byproduct of terrible writing? Why did the cgi by the richest corporation on the planet look like something from an early-90s miniseries? This was like a moderately better version of the worst show of all time, The OA. Eps 1&2 we’re great. The rest were below average to awful Edited May 19, 20223 yr by Chet Steadman

May 19, 20223 yr I couldn't place where I knew the deputy until he said something about Trevor. Then it clicked.
August 5, 20223 yr Okay, I just finished this, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. It didn't leave me terribly confused about much in the end. Throughout the series I was wondering precisely what Autumn meant with the "no one is ever really gone" line she kept repeating. Then it occurred to me, I suppose everyone exists eternally somewhere in time. The only thing I don't understand is what Rebecca meant when she told Amy that she had to go and "hide" for a while. From what? Where? Interesting that everyone we know of that went through the portal went forward in time--but Amy must've gone backward, given she's an adult in the present. They did a great job of keeping me interested, and I was surprised about that. During the scene in which Royal tells Perry about killing his dad, I thought "They're dressed like pioneers." But it still gave me a Whoa! moment when he said 1886. Wasn't expecting that at all. When the sheriff came across the buffalo her and all the teepees, that didn't make sense to me at first, but then after Luke opened a portal for more buffalo, I guess the Indians had come through earlier without anyone having seen them yet. The mountain disappearing/reappearing seems odd.

May 17, 20241 yr there’s just too much TV. I enjoyed watching this show and yet I completely forgot it existed nor do I remember the storyline.
May 18, 20241 yr there’s just too much TV. I enjoyed watching this show and yet I completely forgot it existed nor do I remember the storyline. Just watched S1E1 and the recap in front of it is woefully insufficient. I think watching the S1 finale would help since it picks up right where it left off.

May 18, 20241 yr I just want to see Billy Tillerson singing more songsWhen the subtitles popped up “Home Sweet Home by Motley Crue is playing” I was WTF.
