Review by bass-player-blues

He has the audacity to think he has some grand vision of the wild west society needs to see and passes it off smugly as some sort of masterpiece but all he really does is sell out to morally bankrupt modern audiences Breaking Bad/Game of Thrones style (literally copying all the themes, music, and feel of those sort of shows). Don't get me wrong even though I'm not the biggest fan of either those shows are much better than this and not contradictory or hypocritical in their presentation like this is. They're just unashamedly despicable unlike shows such as 1883 that try to uphold a fake sense of moral high ground which is never actually present. Sheridan thinks it's so intelligent and "edgy" to constantly have all the characters dropping F-bombs left and right. Wow, how cheap. I bet if you actually lived in the late 1800's you could go an entire year without even hearing an angry drunk swearing like that. Sheridan also cheaply casts country music stars Tim McGraw and Faith Hill to win over all the rednecks in America despite the fact they're both subpar actors at best. Nobody really likes Kevin Costner's country band or singing so why should I want to watch them act in the same vein? You also get plenty of barely audible grumbling by Sam Elliot in another cardboard portrayal because Sheridan is so smart and knows what America wants!
