A total disappointment. I just watched the first episode. The set is nice. It did use a nice train, but even that was unrealistic. It was too clean. The Mrs. Warne character is not believable, especially during the scene where she was held prisoner by the train robbers.
At another scene, the Pinkertons had just figured out that they had 45 minutes to stop a train or it would be blown up. You'd expect galloping to save the people on the train. No. They trotted, casually to the next scene, where they were ambushed. Even though the opposing groups were in close proximity of each other and that the robbers were former Confederate soldiers, they couldn't hit the broad side of a barn while every shot fired by the Pinkertons hit their mark. There was hardly any cover used (except for papa Pinkerton) who used a sawed-off shot gun that did little damage.
I like this genre of movies, but this one was obviously badly directed and just unrealistic. I can't watch another one.
