Binged it Friday night while the kids were with grandma. Brutally entertaining!

Made me think I should get rid of my compound and go back to stick and stone!

How's the quality compare to the TV adaptation of Philipp Meyer's book 'The Son'? One of my favorite books of all time, thought the show was awful. Thoughts?

The speed, sound and trajectory of inbound arrows made me chuckle. It was like they were shot out of cannon vs. simple longbows.

Jim Bridger... His shovel....My favorite 30 seconds of the whole series.

I found the series entertaining and made me research the B. Y. Controversy. Yikes!

I liked the story, it was nice to see some characters from “real life” that were portrayed in it, but the way that they filmed it seemed a little more “dark” than I think it had to be.
I understand that life back then was difficult, but for example, the Pratt character running around for days with blood dripping down his face was a little much. Especially when he’s sitting next to a river and doesn’t try to wash off some of it….?
Also there was a scene where a man was skinning a deer carcass and blood was running down the body of the deer. Now Ive skinned many deer and that’s never happened to me.
I just wish it was filmed with a little more realism than the over drama of the gore.

The skinning was the only thing that got to me. I had to give a scientific explanation to my wife. She’s seen me do it, and was wtf?

I watched it. Really wasn’t a fan. Nothing good happened in the whole show.

 

[LuketheDog]

Nothing good happened in the whole show.

Don't watch Breaking Bad then...

The skinning was the only thing that got to me. I had to give a scientific explanation to my wife. She’s seen me do it, and was wtf?

That and I think there was a scene where the Shoshone were sitting in a tepee and it was a patchwork of pieces with holes and spaces letting in a tremendous amount of sunlight….
I did enjoy it as I did the revenant, but I just feel that had it been a little more realistic it would have been just that much more enjoyable.
