1883
Love it. Finally a show that lets itself breath no rushing from one scene to the next. It also looks terrific. Acting is excellent. It's dark but not for the sake of it.

This could go in the gg thread, but I'm getting tired of signing up for new streaming services (and ultimately forgetting to cancel)

You mean, the millions of Indigenous people who explored and settled North America over the last thousands of years?
I would watch that.
You would have to pick a specific timeline.
Lewis & Clark as an example.
Or any other major event in American exploration.
Not sure why there isn't more push into those storylines. Wouldn't be expensive to film, and we already know based off of Yellowstone, 1883 and similar shows that there is a huge market for these kinds of stories.
Also would be amazing to see how each chapter of American exploration affected the Indigenous people at that time. Telling those stories properly would open up a lot of eyes.
Catching up on season 4 of Yellowstone. I enjoy the show even though the story and writing are often quite bad. Some of the performances are solid, some aren't, some characters are interesting and some are cringy.
The scenery never disappoints, nor does the melodrama. This is Dallas in a different setting.

I'm thinking of something based in a place like Rocky Mountain House. That place was founded in 1799, it's in the middle of nowhere now, never mind then.
You could build all sorts of stories around it, mix fact and fiction together.

One nit I have to pick about the second season, there really is no need to throw history in the garbage, stuff like the relationship with her mom. Sometimes these shows feel like season 1 had a history professor as a consultant telling them they should include easter eggs in the story. Then you get beyond that and it's like nobody read the source material.
Vikings, while not based on real history is based on historic poems, and real life characters that inserted themselves into them, did the same thing. Early on everything was homage to the poem, and later everything was in service to the characters and actors they developed as though they didn't have a plan to continue telling the story they started adapting.
But other than that, is Great (pun intended, sorry).

IMO season 4 was one of the worst written seasons of any TV series I have seen in a long time (the ending in particular is preposterously bad) yet as you say the scenery draws me in and there is sporadic entertainment value. It's really a show that's not worth my time, yet I keep watching. Probably not much longer if they don't do a 180 from this last season.

I'm starting to share services with family. My brother, dad, and I are all splitting one Paramount+ account and it works well
Yeah I'm drawing the line at Paramount+ at this point. HBO Max, Disney bundle, Amazon and Netflix should be plenty. Plus I'm still paying for cable for crying out loud.
