Most of the characters are very intruiging which is the strong point of most HBO shows, the characters are so well written and cast for the most part. The story seems interesting as well and I like stuff about the old west from the 1850-1890 period, this is set in 1876 at the dawn of the gold rush. It also features a historical character whom is very interesting in Wild Bill Hickock who was a lawman turned outlaw turned entertainer.While I agree that there are some good characters, the first ep went a bit slow i thought; like a good book it had a lot of background to set up.
It definitely has potential; let's see what this week brings.
