    It seems to be popular with the boomers. I tried the first episode and thought it was really boring and a little bit contrived. All of my older relatives couldn’t stop raving about it at Thanksgiving.

      You are correct.

      Work at retirement community.

      Fills the theatre. 1883 and 1923 too. They love it, boomers and older.

      Good portion of them had a relative or were someone that worked livestock/rural living at one point.

        Are these people relevant to “damaging the west” though? This article sounds insane to me, but clearly this is outside of my bubble so I could be wrong lol

          It does sound a bit unhinged. Like it’s a drama about wealthy landowners. I don’t think it set out to groundbreaking or to have the politics the writer does.

          Dude has beef with the people who take television too seriously who ruined a place he also immigrated too.

          Haven’t watched it to be fair. Seen glimpses seems like a standard ass drama show.

            It’s trying to correlate the rise in popularity of land ownership for residential or recreational purposes in low density places like Wyoming and Montana with a popular TV show rather than the speculation based on future climate predictions.

      The only people I know that talk about it are boomers. I’ve caught parts of episodes, and what I saw felt very soap opera-y to me. Maybe that’s the market for it. Just a higher quality wish fulfillment drama?
