A bit flat

Most of the characters seemed like they were written to fit a specific archetype rather than having much life on their own. Wise Indian woman great hunter archetype. But she never took her grandson out hunting? Flat. Mean black guy acts tough to all whites and beats his daughter but has no personality, Lucy Cole takes him in as caring grandmother trope and has him for at least 7 years but never teaches him to read or write. Many others (sheriff, woman administering to the sick, on and on)

Too bad they didn't write many characters and just relied on tropes. Mailing in most of the writing.

Trivia
Christiane Seidel (Martha) & Erik LaRay Harvey (Elias) also worked together on six episodes of Boardwalk Empire (2010) as Sigrid Mueller & Dunn Purnsley respectively.

Goofs
Several episodes show purebred Australian Cattle Dogs which did not exist in the USA in the 1880s. This breed wasn't brought to the USA from Australia until the 1950s or 80 years later. A mixed breed mutt would be more accurate to the old West.

Correction: The dog in this show is not an Australian Cattle Dog - it is an Australian Shepherd, which would be appropriate in this show because the breed originated in the Western United States around the 1840s and were popular working dogs even then.
