Yeah, I watched 1883 and 1923. 18 was a pretty good peek into how hard things probably were on the Oregon trail. But the cynicism and murderous intentions of everyone was laughable. Then the pretty blonde somehow lives two weeks after a perfectly placed arrow doesn't take her out just long enough to get their perfect homestead. 🙄 The funniest part for me was Tim McGraw and Faith Hill as the leads, it got corny at times.
19 was pretty interesting and entertaining to me. But goddamn, Timothy Dalton's character made me skin crawl, and subsequently I now hate him. But I couldn't help my think that he was actually a good representation of how the ruling class actually thinks and behaves. Acting was pretty top notch imo, but I came away from it feeling a little traumatized from that shit tbh.
