Joe Pickett

Been so tired of the trash being put out that it was refreshing to watch this show.. It's back to basics... Other than a few scenes that could have been shot better, the story plot, suspense, and acting all support ne another. A very cohesive thriller that relies on all three. A real art... and no fake.action scenes used as fillers. I.m hoping and looking forward for more to come.

For some reason I've been putting off watching Joe Pickett ever since it came out. Now that I've actually seen it I'm mad at myself for waiting so long. It was so much better than I expected it to be. I'm not sure why I waited so long because I'm a big fan of westerns. Michael Dorman is terrific as Joe Pickett. I remember Dorman from one of the most underrated shows of all-time in Patriot. This is another underrated show that he's terrific in. It's not the best show I've seen but it's definitely worth watching. It may start a little slow for some but stick with because after an episode or two it becomes addicting and the next thing you know you're going to want to binge it as fast as you can.

I have lived in Wyoming all of my life and we do not have southern accents, it's like they were trying to make the characters stereotypical country hicks.

The CJ Box book series that this is based on is a fantastic action, adventure, drama written with wit and grace and exceptional character portrayals. It's really disappointing then that this series showed little respect for the books. The characters have all been stripped of their personality and looks and replaced with empty shells who lack any chemistry or realism and the fake accents some of them are using are just annoying and distracting. The 2nd rate cgi animals too are just bizarre. The author laid it all out, all they had to do was follow his lead and translate it for the screen. Opportunity lost. We'll always have the books though and maybe some day a worthy remake will appear.

Having read some of the books it is a little different as usual. Over all, I loved it. Very entertaining and enjoyable. The actors are pretty good and their parts were pretty believable. I would highly recommend it. I will probably watch it again.
