Loving the scenery, backdrop and story. TS is amazing!

Loving most of the acting.

Having a hard time with some of the dialogue; it's like most of them are talking around mouthfuls of marbles.

NOT loving trying to incorporate 2022 social mores into a story that aspires to be a realistic depiction of the late 1800s in the unbroken American west. This is an era that saw dating (courting) couples be daring if they were to kiss, for Pete's sake; and Elsa moves from a couple of kisses to full blown sex? Hardly, her mother would have killed her. Saving yourself for marriage was the definitive expectation, and if she winds up pregnant, NO one would have wanted damaged goods. Not only that, I'm ticked at the fact she hooks up with the first male she meets, a young cow poke. Yes, that's a great future there. Sorry, was really lovin the show but this made me mad.
