Yes he does. Have you not been following the abuses by the church of Native American children in their care? He totally showed the brutality of it in the first episode. History is not pretty.


and I'm glad it's represented.


What you don't understand was that was a GRATUITOUS portrayal. No one benefitted from seeing that.

As someone who grew up a stone's throw from the Pine Ridge Reservation (a place that makes Baltimore look like Rodeo Drive, just google it), I don't think it's Sheridan who "doesn't get it." If anything, he's very lightly introducing viewers to the poverty, drug and alcohol dependency, lack of jobs/medical care, good education, crime, general hopelessness or any sort of social justice that Native Americans have faced since, well...



It this situation they are showing kids, young girls to teens kidnapped/take to "boarding" "schools" and abused and having their culture and families taken away.

And why not? Again do you think history is all rainbows and unicorn farts?

seriously? I bet some didn't know this kind of thing happened.
Would you be averse to a slave being whipped? How's it different?

Quoted PP. I am well aware of the cultural and racial genocidal history here and I watched the episode. I also cut my career teeth as a new college grad in one of those states' penal systems, which is full of Native Americans (whole other debate). It's about time someone shown a light on this, and it is very, very ugly.

I can't believe we have to wait a month for another new episode! What's up with that?

I know! Can't wait for Spencer to make it home & go ballistic on the murdering sheep herders. Maybe they are the first drop offs at the train station.

Roots was so good. It was one of those things the whole country watched. We talked about it in school.

Anyone watch episode 5 yet? OMG I can't get enough of this show...the best thing I have watched in a while and much better than Yellowstone.

Love Harrison Ford and Helen Mirren... bad things about to happen - as per any Taylor Sheridan saga.

Can you stream through Hulu or do you need to buy yet another platform to watch this?

+1. Beth’s character, plus their decision to base the entire story line on public lands/land use/permitting issues without hiring a consultant who has a clue about how any of it actually works. I understand it’s fiction and poetic license and all that, but they have gone beyond my ability to suspend disbelief.


Yep, totally agree. For Beth to suddenly come up with this scheme, and pull all that knowledge out of her hat on how contract law works related to land use and ownership is a head scratcher. It just doesn't add up.

Also can she just put the glass of whiskey down and stop beating up on everyone she sees....enough already.


I still cannot believe this is the woman who played Caroline Bingley.

Why shouldn't it be shown? It happened. The fact it is new to some, and makes others uncomfortable, suggests that it should be out there more. Including in this show.
