Gotdamn this show is good.

David Oleywu was a HORRIBLE choice. I mean my god he’s diminutive on screen. The opening scene with his eyes bucking in battle killed me. His wife is taller than him.

They are gonna have to flip the switch and make him a short guy with huge balls like Billy the Kid or something very soon.

I could see him playing Nat Love but this ain’t it.


Margot Bingham was DOPE as the Seminole woman, I like that they made them mixed race.

David and his wife are executive producers

The Buffalo soldier in 1883 would have been a great choice for Bass Reeves also.

There is a scene where this Fake Bass is supposed to grab a guy by the collar and drag him out in the street and man that shyt looks like a child playing with a grown man. This is so bad.

It's too docile, especially for a Taylor Sheridan show. Like Taylor is scared to go crazy like he usually does because of the sensitive material.
IT looks like he might not be the main writer/show runner that's why.
