This is a good show in that the acting is good and the period is interesting. But.....
There are flaws that seem to come up in these shows depicting the old west. First, granted that it was before my time so I can't say for certain, I really don't think people swore as much as this show makes it seem, and especially not around ladies. Secondly, families had a father and a mother, and they had defined jobs and roles. Wives were likely not consulted (I'm not saying this is good) on family business matters. They raised the children, prepared meals, ran the household, etc, and likely girls were raised to do the same. Plus, why do things seem so well lit when there is only moonlight (including tracking a horse through grass)? Seems Nike nit-picking, I know, but these little things are important to me.....

OK, is it just me, or are other fans of Mad Men starting to get a little worried? With two episodes left (or is it one? yikes!) after may 3,2015's Lost Horizon, the seem to be a lot of loose ends to tie, with not enough time to do so... Let me start with Mr. Dick Whitman. The importance of Don Draper's alter ego to the story line has been forgotten over the past few seasons, but surely there has to be some connection in the end?? Next, although Don Draper is a complicated character, and seems to be handed a lot of bad luck, he really is a jerk..... Accustomed to getting whatever he wants. I feel that he has to do some good to buy himself some good karma and redeem himself. The second most complicated character is Peggy. On one hand she is a strong-willed woman, so much that intimidates men. However, she is also vulnerable and still looks to Joan to help he through. The final has to include a definite end point for her too.... Will she land a partnership somewhere? Will there be a reconnection with her young child? Other things too - will Pete get back with Trudi, etc......
