Wyatt Earp and the Cowboy War (2024)
Mostly Historical....
Why does a documentary have to fudge? Lots of cowboys wearing modern cowboy hats...the shootout right at the OK Corral when it actually happened well down the street.... This is supposed to clear up historical errors, not reinforce them. And that's just a bit of the first episode. The production values are great, and the cast is almost flawless. What happened to fact checking? I'll watch the rest of it but I cannot say that I am happy about the loose handling of the facts. This is history. The truth is well known. There are a lot of interesting connections in this showing how everything fit within the larger world. Now I wonder how much of it is fact and how much is embellished.

Ending Made the Rest Worthwhile
This had a great start, then softened a bit in the middle. But the final season got back on track and the ending - wow. Most of the actors are awesome. They portray real personalities. Sometimes what they go through is hard to fathom, but it all works in the end. I ended up having to binge watch most of the final season.
Should there have been another season? They certainly could have filled it with more twists and turns, but no, that would have just dragged it on too long. When I heard that Season Four would be the last I was disappointed. But it turned out to be just right.
This could possibly offend someone's religious sensibilities because beliefs are infinitely varied. But it's only a story. And it's a good one.

Funny Funny Movie
I'll admit a slow setup made the first part drag. But while much of it was predictable it was darn funny in the process. I am hoping for a sequel ... or a series.
