I agree completely. I watched all 10 episodes, and found it infuriatingly entertaining, despite the heavy-handed reactionary politics. Paramount seems committed to the formula though, Yellowstone is much of the same. Liberal simp enviro having ecology explained to her by common sense rancher etc.

Anyone wants to cure the illusion of prosecution infallibility (or police investigative infallibility even moreso) just serve on a jury in a criminal case. It’s a miracle they ever convict anyone, ever.
