Wyatt Earp y la guerra de los cowboys

Love the buildup to the gunfight and the story of the aftermath. A piece of history that is normally unheard. Presents the characters as they were, not as popular history paints them. And Ed Harris's narration is the best I have ever heard. A thoroughly enjoyable series.

I love it when stories continue on and show what is historically accurate and where the characters end up. I was unaware that this tale was far more involved than the dime store novel version. I enjoyed every episode, the ending of one leaving you wanting more. This was the perfect series to binge watch, which I did while recovering from Covid. It also opened up a desire to learn more about each character. Kudos to Netflix for a wonderful job!!

GOOF: Ep3 At 31:33 when Wyatt's lawyer went to answer the door, you can see a digital thermostat with the green glow, on the wall, on the right side of the door.

GOOF: Ep6 when they show horse and carriage up north riding through the city, they horses are on asphalt The storytelling is really good, pulled me in from the start. Has me googling these historic figures and old newspaper clippings. The acting is amazingly good! I don't recognize anyone from the big screen but they are better than most known names.

Narrator comes in at the perfect time with his deep, frontier voice.

I've never been into cowboy stories before but this series might have just have gotten a new fan of the wild, Wild West! Love it!

When clicking play on a title like this you settle in to learn some history, spoken by a dry cowboy sounding narrator and a series of academics who don't seem like they'd last 5 mins in the west and then finally the occasional cut scene which.... well. Yeah.

From the moment this series starts you can tell things are going to be different. The slick editing, great music and scenes which frankly wouldn't look out of place in "Deadwood", Wyatt Earp and the Cowboy War pulls you in and keeps you there.

It feels like watching The Defiant Ones for the first time, knowing that what you are watching is redefining a genre.

Ed Harris's narration is spot on, casual and humorous, keeping the story going in a nearly 'telling you over a beer' kind of a way. Meanwhile the cut scenes are lavish, cinematic and captivating.

The guy who plays Wyatt Earp (Tim Fellingham) is the perfect casting to counter Ed's chilled vibe as he blasts his way through the west with a quick draw and a chilling stare. Surrounded by a great supporting cast they bring this little known and vastly complex story to life in a way that feels new and bang on the times.

Although there are plenty of documentaries that do the acting along the way as they're explaining the history, the pacing and overall storytelling is just really fun. It's different than other acting documentaries I've seen for that reason. I especially love how the historical context gives more support to the acting. And they really did a great job casting Wyatt Earp. He's borderline perfect. Even if he is Australian ;)

Well, if you only know Wyatt Earp from the movies, such as Tombstone (which is a great movie, BTW), then this will open your eyes to the complexity of the real Wyatt Earp.

It wasn't all so cut and dried as the movies make it out to be. And events didn't quite go down the way the movies claim. It's actually much more interesting than that!

This docu-drama does a great job of layering in the events, all the way from the local events in Tombstone, to the reverberations they caused politically and economically.

The drama parts are well acted and the story rattles along at a great pace. They manage to end each episode on a cliffhanger, too.

And a special mention for Ed Harris' outstanding narration!

I binge-watched it in one evening and i highly recommend it!
