I am not seeing why others do not see this. First, the show is excellent in the sense of acting and continual drama. However, some liberal progressive social just warrior of the 1619 Project that attempt to rewrite history. This TV show has several messages. (1) The United States belongs to the Indians, and the white man stole it. Wrong, while there were hundreds of different Indian tribes strewn all across the country, they were bust slaughtering each others, torturing each other, scalping each other long before the white man came. If this country had gone untouched by anyone, right now, it would be like the jungle people of the Amazon Forrest. (2) The next point of the show is that Texas belongs to Mexico, not the white man, and the Mexican terrorists in the show were just freedom fighters. Then, of course, they had to put the story line of the racist white man stealing land because it has oil. If given the opportunity to write about the Son of Alaska, they would likely argue that we stole it from Russia.

Keeps you captivated from episode #1, could do without the foul language, ESPECIALLY taking God's name in vain and the nudity. Stick to the storyline, take out the junk and it was be perfect show.
