Worth watching for a free trial
Hopefully you filtered the reviews view to something other than "featured". It seems a lot of people reviewed this even before the first season ended.
AMC seems to have predominantly "Dark" content, very little interest in 95% of the content on that platform, but this series caught my attention.
I come at films and programs from the perspective of "entertainment", not thinking of myself as a cinema expert knowing how the business works and certainly haven't read ANY of the books...who has that kind of time these days? The unemployed?
For me, this series started out sssaaaalllloooow. I felt like I was paddling a sluggish boat to get through the episodes and my wife slept through most of it. Finally episode 5 had some action to wake us both up. The rest of the series through season 2 then had some action, something other than blah blah blah, dialogue and "woe is me". I get the terrible Native American situation...I already know about it, so tell the story with a bit more energy, please. A History Channel documentary on the Native Americans is more exciting than much of this series...except when there is gun-play and other violence. Not a requirement for me to be entertained except when it's saving a snooze-fest otherwise.
It was worth a watch for free, but I would not have wanted to pay the subscription price just to see it and there isn't much else on AMC to make it worth the money for me/us.
