This is not a fun female cowboy movie. It's not a action-packed western. It's a cinematic tale of identity, endurance, and the construct of justice, which I much prefer to the first two options. The cinematography is unparalleled, the performances incredible, and the story devastating but enthralling. I will say I found the orchestrations in the first half of the movie distracting, and certain side plot scenes contrived, but overall this film is testament to Leah Purcell's overwhelming talent both in front of and behind the camera.

If you're here to figure out if you should watch this show or not, filter out any review with the words "woke" or "historically inaccurate" and go from there. Reading these reviews, we must have watched different shows- the costumes are gorgeous, there's tons of baseball scenes, and the characters are nuanced and authentic. It's almost like people are more critical of stories featuring women, especially Black and gay women... Overall I would highly recommend this show- it has the spirit of the movie, with in my opinion better developed characters and unparalleled performances!

The last minute or so of this episode is absolutely breathtaking, with a reveal that is truly shocking! The slow build up to it is done incredibly well, I just wish that the exposition and plot development instigated by Jane Lynch's character was given to another character, someone who has already been introduced. I love Jane Lynch as an actor, but this role was poorly written and out of place with the rest of the show.
