The premise is great: tough journey for settlers of the old West. The production has some great photography. Several lead actors are great at their job. Gunfights are good.
Now the bad. Isabel May is a good looking young woman. Her character is a big time Mary Sue. She cowboys, she kills, she always knows better, she is always unscathed (except emotionally for an episode or so). Aboriginals are quite Mary Sue themselves, too.
The gunfights look realistic but they always win with some twist in the last second.
Then there's weird things. The settlers don't know how to swim?! Europeans of the 1880s know *less* about water sanitation than Americans? There's too many ridiculous claims.
It starts very well but it quickly devolves into the typical writing junk. I guess it's for a different target demographic. It's a shame.
