| Watched up to episode 3 so far. Episode 3 my wife said "I can't watch this anymore if she keeps making bad decisions." She was referring to the female lead. We will finish it as it is a pretty good watch and I hope the female lead finally gets it and starts listening. She made a comment near the end of the 3rd episode that indicates she gets it now. I hope she does and look forward to how it changes the trajectory of their plight. I am curious about the historical accuracy. This is the first time I have heard about the Mormon Militias. A quick search reveals there was a Mormon Battalion that fought against Mexico, but no reference so far to the events depicted in the show. Could just be 'artistic license' and a work of fiction. It is a TV show after all.

Search "Mountain Meadows Massacre". And that's one that's been acknowledged. You know there's more. |

Thank you. It does appear that the show depicted that incident somewhat. I will research further.

| Well, the annoying “female lead” hit her stride. And a few other things. I’m with you, though. I was thinking to just tie her to a tree and ride away. |

Oh dear Lord - my wife watched the first three episodes and I started on episode four. That dipshit was a brainiac who should have been brained. She is the reason why my wife paused episode four and scolded me for talking too much. I guess, "just shoot her too" is not the right active feedback?

| My initial reaction was that it’s just a cheap ripoff of The Revenant. I still don’t think it’s great but the third episode is pretty BADASS after how a certain character started out all prissy. |

Legalize the Constitution

| I have only the last episode left to watch. Dark and violent are the words I’d use to describe it. My wife had no interest in it, but I remain fascinated by it. I knew of the Morman Militia and at least something about the Meadows Massacre, but not much. I lived in rural, NE Utah for the better part of 5 years, and that part of LDS history was certainly buried away. I think the series is pretty good.

No, not like Bill Clinton

| I binged watched it Saturday, the flu or something had my ass firmly glued to my recliner I stuck it out but was glad when the end came. Barely watchable Did Bridger actually make it out with his cash?

| Only made it halfway through. That woman is just too dumb. The guide would have walked off and left them. |

| I made it through. It was ok, but I felt like most of it was shock value scenes.
