    It's a slow-moving show but I'm really enjoying it. Who else is?

        I'm enjoying it immensely!  It's a good bridge between seasons of Justified for me.

          I've been watching it. It's great, albeit quite slow-moving

            Yeah I watch. I'll agree with the sentiment that it is a bit slow at times but that doesn't seem to bother me. I like 'Bolander' (? is that how you spell/say his name) I think as a lead character it's neat to see him as a fall down drunk that's still in control.
             Plus, I'm a sucker for any show dealing with early American history...and it looks like the writers aren't going to shy away from the racial side of the story, which can be tricky.
             The story isn't 'original' but it is cool...the whole vigilante after those who have done him wrong. I like the other stories they are developing with the hooker and main black character....the brothers....and the widow and main boss. I'll give it a good shot.

              Lead character's name is Cullen Bohannan, played by Anson Mount.
               
              I might add that the widow, Lily Bell aka The Fair-Hared Maiden of the West, is a complete babe!

                My wife and I have been watching it.  I love this time period for TV shows/movies.  I will say I'm impressed with the acting of Common.  I can see some interesting alliances being formed as this show develops.

                  He's a total badass! And Common, too. 
                  I think their relationship will grow and lead to a friendship.
                  If it isn't the case somehow already.

                    Sorry to ressurect an old thread but I can't believe this thread died.  Last Sunday's(12/18) episode was best of series so far.  Bohannon and Common's character(can't quite remember name) finally working together to make some wrongs turned right.
                    The scene where the two of them were at the campfire talking about the events in their life that brought them to where they are now was some powerful television.  I don't how the relationship between the two will continue but I enjoyed it and can't wait for more!!

                      Watch it and love it !
                      Anybody else think Cullen Bohannon kinda looks like Mark Morton from Lamb of God ?

                        I love the show, it definitely was slow at the beginning but it has gotten really good!
