My Little Pony meets Teenage Sluts

Any woman heading to Oregon in the late 19th century better have some shoulders to rely on.
That runty cowboy looks like he couldn't handle a hoe let alone a plow or axe.
The constant hair-in-the-face of the lead character is beyond cliche'. For fucks sake put your bonnet on. Even the dumb cowboys know enough to keep the sun and hair our of their eyes.
The black man, easily the most interesting character is practically non-existent so ol' Sam can get his signature moustache in every scene. This guy needs to be fleshed out. He has the least to gain so I wanna know his story. Enough with the female lead. I'm beginning to think this show is going for the my little pony meets teenage slut market with just enough tits/ass and violence to keep their boyfriends around. Non of which is going to hold my interest for long.

Has there been enough tits and ass yet?

I was thinking the same until "Episode 5: Freedom Has Fangs" surprised me. This show might have some teeth after all!

There’s a lot about this show that seems too modern for me. Would a black guy really be travelling with white guys? Would he be readily accepted the way he seems to be?

Would a father allow his daughter to fraternize with cowboys? Would she be left alone alone like that?

Would they be so cold to each like after the river crossing? The daughter just riding past the traumatized mother who also received no assistance from her husband?

It’s a good show entertainment wise but I doubt a lot of aspects.

The few subtle moments all have to do with scenery which I soon grow tired of. The "sex" scenes are far too drawn out and not the least bit arousing. Considering it is all about a pioneer wagon train of immigrants I find it lacking in action and too much immature bickering trying to pass for drama.
Also: The rivers are laughably small to be considered impassible.

Elsa looks like a puppet on a string when she wears her blue dress and bonnet. And she would have been one in real life without a super hero dad to save her at every turn. Honestly it's a good thing claire died because she would have been her puppet master and worn Elsa out! Remember the train scene? She acts all big and bad but the moment someone toughens up to her she hands over her strings and goes limp.

It is like "Dusty's Trail", no?

I wonder about everything you mentioned but also the women all have a plastic fake look to them. They don't look like they belong in the time period.

The husband is a bit too Ken doll-like as well. The only one who really looks the part is Sam Elliott.

Even the father's tan looks fake, too orange.

Yeah and the neatly trimmed beard.
