***SPOILERS*** Well, what did I think was wrong? I'm NOT gonna give away very much. Certainly not enough for anyone to miss seeing this fine drama. As usual, the writers play fast, and very loose with actual history. Evidence is that Butch and The Kid were fugitives, alright - from Wyoming. IF they were in our wonderful ally, Canada, they were OUT of any U.S. jurisdiction. Next, Bat Masterson was definitely a sports writer. Highly respected, and with a serious western background in violent conflict; nonetheless, he STILL had no standing as a lawman outside our borders. Still, it was interesting, and could have been much more so, if it weren't for the intrusion of Dr. Ogden, and her wedding plans. I can't recall having read about Canada and Butch and Sundance in the same historical reference. Oh well, it IS a work of fiction, isn't it? The fellow who played Bartholemew "Bat" Masterson, Steven Ogg, was the same guy who got beautifully clouted (and cut down to size) by one of my favorite characters, Mike Ehrmantraut in an episode of "Better Call Saul" he did a great job of helping us old farts lord it over youthful muscle. The acting, as usual, was great, the sets and setting was wonderful, but, I can't give this one any better than an 8.
