Have seen every episode to date, and this show is nothing short of fantastic. If you like shows like deadwood, justified, longmire.. You'll love this. It is a hybrid of the three, with the trigger happy protagonist like in justified, period like deadwood (and quite accurate), and gritty like longmire.

An exceptional show, with fantastic direction and an amazing story. Truly takes you to the centre of the West and the railroad expansion. The landscape, the politics, the people... All of it... Amazing...
