Overall, I really liked this movie. I loved the plot, I loved the character development and I loved the settings. The horses and land are just beautiful. The story line broaches some heavy topics like infidelity, death, PTSD, violence in a very real but delicate way. I love the faith aspects and loved seeing a romance without any of the vulgar or inappropriate aspects of mainstream TV. One star less than perfect because it is a little lower production quality than mainstream TV level production, for example the rodeo scenes you can tell there weren't enough extras to fill the arena so the shots are a little odd, also some of the props seemed out of place. It seems about on par with a lot of Christian movies in that way. If you can get past that it really is a beautiful story of ranching, faith, family and love.

I just started watching this show and I'm shocked by how accurately it shows the child welfare system. From the safety plans, the home visits, the interactions with families- They nailed it. I was a social worker for years and I'm glad someone is bringing these stories to life. I also recently became a Christian so I'm really enjoying the faith elements as well. The only reason I wouldn't rate it 10 stars is it doesn't feel produced at the same caliber as mainstream TV, but the plot, sets and storyline are really interesting. I really hope they make new seasons of this show when I finish the first one!
