I've got it set to record. From what little I've seen in the previews, it has a little bit of a Justified vibe about it. I'm guessing the actual show will not be at quite that quality, but that would be welcome. I'm a bit miffed at A&E for cancelling Breakout Kings, but The Glades is also coming back this week so it's a bit of a wash.

The lead Robert Taylor is pretty much an unknown Australian actor. I barely remember him from The Matrix.

The supporting cast is decent and yeah it does have a Western/Justified look to it. Hopefully it's good.

I'll give it a shot but early reviews weren't exactly glowing.

I really liked it. Great scenery, cool main character, and great to see Lou Diamond Phillips again.
I'm glad he's not a drunk, and I the rez angle too. I'll keep watching for sure.

I liked this. Hope we can see more of Cassidy Freeman, well as long as they dont have her get involved with the other guy running for sheriff.

I recorded it. Hopefully this is better than Hell on Wheels.

What's wrong with Hell on Wheels? I'm almost done with the first season and like it quite a bit.

I have this sitting on my DVR, but I plan on waiting a couple weeks before watching it. I find that I'm much more likely to follow through with a series if I group the first couple episodes into a single viewing.

I might have been in the minority, but I wasn't too impressed with it. I thought it was decent, but nothing groundbreaking.

I'll give credit to both A&E and AMC for greenlighting scripted Westerns -- a risk in and of itself.

I enjoyed it quite a bit. I especially liked how it hit the ground running and never felt like a pilot.

Will watch this today, but some good news on the ratings end. It was the highest rated original series premiere ever. It beat the series premiere of The Glades 2 years ago. 4.1M viewers watched.

Robert Taylor sort of likes like Robert Fuller from LARAMIE and WAGON TRAIN.

Definitely agree. It started off great and didn't spend a lot of time on character development which can slow a new show down. Do the story and the audience can form their own opinions on who and why.

There's a big audience for westerns, it's good they're finally getting some love.

how is Starbuck in this? I've grown to hate her in everything she's done since BSG.

In a word, annoying. She plays the whiniest big city cop I've ever seen.

I missed her intro. How did a Philly cop end up in rural Wyoming, anyway?

Can't recall either. Is she the chick from 24 too? Hated her in that.

No that's Katee Sackhoff on Longmire, Starbuck from BSG.

It looked to me like a standard paint-by-numbers procedural, only it's set in Wyoming. I probably won't make it past the second or third episode unless I see dynamite potential in the cast.
