I binge-watched this in two days.

Probably the best western in years. It is still flawed, there are plot holes abounding and irritatingly unresolved bits

Mary Agnes is a terrific character.

Bill McNue is a called a 'coward' by everyone in town, but no incident is shown that illustrates is supposed cowardice. It just gets mentioned that 'he won't draw a gun' but they don't describe any time when that was actually a problem.

At the final shootout, he doesn't put on his glasses.  Yeah, I know, he has his shadow back, but, wtf, he is supposed to hardly be able to see.

Really enjoyed this. Final episode struggled a bit to live up to the build-up, but that was always going to be the case, I think. Also took forever to finish.
Mary Agnes was strong enough to carry a series on her own.

I was expecting McNue to die and not Whitey. After Whiteys first display of his gun shooting, I was expecting him to have a major role in the shootout, but I actually didn't mind that he was the first to die. It worked well.
