If you're one of the Covidiots who believe that COVID-19 is "just the flu",
that the 2020 election was stolen, or
especially if you supported the 1/6/21 insurrection,
leave now.

Vast Wasteland Report- "The Son"
Pierce Brosnan has the lead role. His accent isn't exactly "Dick Van Dyke speaks Cockney" bad, but if you can get past that, he does a good job. His meeting with a banker in episode 3 is not to be missed.
So far, the people who are supplying the props seem to have been doing a mostly good job at keeping the guns in the right period. In episode 5, Sally McCullough has a S&W revolver with a button-head ejector rod, a feature which was discontinued in the late `20s, probably to save on manufacturing costs. The Lewis gun, seen first in episode 4, might be anachronistic, but I suppose it's not very far-fetched that a wealthy rancher might have gotten one. In 1915, it was about as complicated to buy a machinegun as it was a drill bit.
If you choose to watch it, start at the first episode. The series is telling some stories that otherwise might not be fully appreciated.
