Tommy Lee Jones was good as Capt. Call in Lonesome Dove, one of my favorite western series. I also read the book. Then the sumbitch did radio ads and robo calls here in PA, urging us to vote for his buddy AlWhore. Claimed AlWhore was not going to take our guns. Enough of that.
Liked most everything Sam Elliot has done in westerns. Then he did TV ad narrations for Joe Biteme's campaign.
Liked some of McGraw's early tunes, but as he's turned out to be a rabid Libturd, got no use for him either.
I am watching it and enjoying it because it is a western. My minor pet peeves are that the men seem to have been armed at a Cowboy Action Shooting club meeting, with a uniform armament of two revolvers including a crossdraw, the wagons only have two horses each instead of 6 oxen, the herd of "wild" cattle included a bunch of Herefords, and a bunch of people drowned in a river that was only waist deep. But, who cares? It's a western, which is a rare commodity these days.
Life is like a purple antelope on a field of tuna fish...

Yep. I laughed when I saw the Herefords in that herd of Longhorns. And the Brazos where they crossed isn’t too far down the road from our Ranch. You’d be damn lucky to find a 2 foot deep hole anywhere along that section of it. Unless they had 24” s of rain in the last 48 hours. We still had the wagon my Great Great Great Grandfather came to TX in when I was a kid. Used to play in it. I’ve still got the harnesses and reins for it in the barn. It was set up for 4 horses. But Great GrandDad said they only used 2 horses with it quite a bit when he was a kid. Depending on what they were hauling. And he said they mostly used mules to pull it. The same ones he used to plow with.

I haven’t seen it at all but I’ll bet the bird calls are from species not found there and even if they are will be out of season.
Just my $0.02

I don't worry about the birdcalls as much as the inaccurate depiction of African Americans. In episode #2 they were shown drinking Colt 45 Malt Liquor out of a can.
The 3rd horse shoe nail on the left hind hoof on the horse Sam Elliot rides somtimes isnt crimped like they used to do back then,, also those hay burners arent correct either,, mostly rode morgans at that time,, and I seen sombodies hair parted on the wrong side,,, Its a show!!!!

Hell yeah Matt Dillon wasn't a sheriff. He was a (fictional) Dodge City, Kansas town marshal.
And yeah I'll pizz'n moan about actors who are on record as opposing the private ownership of firearms, yet have made much of their money using firearms in TV shows and movies.
If three or more people think you're a dimwit, chances are at least one of them is right.
