Kevin Costner's the West

I know Kevin Costner has a passion for the West and the history of the West. The directors did a real disservice to him but having him narrate this so blandly. He much better than this. Directors should've watched Yellowstone to Yosemite on Fox app. That's the real Kevin Costner.

The information in this docuseries is worthwhile. The guests sharing the history are impressive and knowledgeable. I learned things they don't teach in school.

I will recommend this series to family and friends but warn them to be prepared that Costner was not permitted to bring his passion for the stories to it. Let Costner be Costner l.

Yaaaawn. Kevin Costner must have been paid to just put his name in the title. His introductions to each "lesson" (episode) are

For a history series such as this is to work the host should inspire interest in the audience through impassionated oration. Excitement. A clear sense of interest. Costner conveys none of the above.

In point of fact, it seems completely the opposite. Hands in pockets. Monotonous tone of voice. A sense of just passing the time & being done with his lines ASAP. Boredom.

The end result is a docu series that is over before it even started. When Costner has finished speaking, the audience has already stopped listening, agreeing with the boredom of their host. And so it goes that, when the next "expert" begins to speak we are either sleepy, sleeping or completely disinterested.

I did watch all of episode 1 but fell asleep within the first 5-10 minutes. Highly recommend if you need a little nap.

I only finished Episode 2 but I had to watch it especially after I seen some reviews saying it's a snorefest or boring with these really low reviews of 2 or 3.

I was hoping this wasn't the case because I love Costner and I love American history.

Thankfully these reviews were way off. So far the show is very enjoyable and definitely paints a picture of the old west and it's history.

So far I'm loving it and looking forward to binge watching the rest. I like how it goes into detail about the history of the Indian tribes and the battles and the different stories like Louis and Clark.

Really gets my imagination going and I love that. I would give this series a shot!

I tuned in because of Costner's participation and history. Unfortunately his performance is sluggish, monotone, and he doesn't seem at all interested in this production. Often staring into space, he looks like a bored sixth grader reading a book report. Sad, because the content would be a lot more entertaining without him. Always enjoyed his movies if not his acting, but this one is really bad.

As for the documentary, though a bit slow paced, it's entertaining and informative. Worth watching. Nice visuals...nice piece of history. I confess, however, that my irritation with Costner's efforts will probably preclude any further interest on my part.

This is a great documentary about the American West, I especially enjoyed the cinematography scenes and the personalities of the people, whether friendly or clashing. Many reviews mention Kevin Costner's narration as boring and dull, but it's better than reading a big, dusty history book yourself. I like his voice.

Apparently my review is too short. Okay, here's more, imo Episode one, "Fallen Timbers" serves as an introduction that includes the natives of the "Indian Nations of the Northwest Confederacy" to a victory. I was glad to see the resistance to what many consider an invasion from another continent.
