User Reviews

fresh new take on a very old story of brother fighting brother.

Set in the South at the beginning of the Civil War. sets are good, acting top notch, the idea of fighting for ones beliefs, whether they conform to those around you or not is a classic idea, but I've never seen it done this way before. The situation provides for multiple conflicts, along a variety of issues within one family trying to keep their place in Southern Society, fighting for the Southern states rights while embracing the ideals of all men created equal in itself would be enough conflict, but with the addition of an in-law being on the other side makes for even more tension and drama. just going to say: if they only continue on with one of the Amazon Prime's new shows, I hope it is this one.
