    what a deception so far
    I started this long TV western series, and I must admit that I am bit deceived. maybe I'll be more in a near future. I expected a kind of AH PRESENTS scheme, different stories and characters, with of course UNEXPECTED, TWIST endings. Bittersweet, ironical endingd, know what I mean? Here, nothing of this sort, but always expected f...hppy endings, as we find in movies for théâtres. Why,why, why? Maybe it will be a little different in the next épisodes. Maybe...
