The Abandons

On the Western Frontier, circa 1850, a group of ranchers families band together to stand up to the wealthy family that tries to buy them out.

Looks very promising. Gillian Anderson + Lena Headey? Sign me up smile

Re: The Abandons

First episode was OK.

It could've gone with a little bit more world-building and introducing it's characters (which there are a lot) but you get the gist of it.

I also wouldn't it being a bit more grittier.

I think it's the first western-style show I have seen were some of the animal scenes were CGI. Felt weird.

Re: The Abandons

Could've been a solid 6/10 show but the last episode was horrible, don't know what they were thinking with that....giving it a 5/10.

▼Spoiler

Weird how all this is going on, tensions are rising and yet the other people in town just go about their own business - I mean how many are there? Maybe 50 poeple?
