Joe Picket. Paramount +

About a US game warden. Dealing with poachers. In a way it’s a bit like a cross between Longmire and Yellowstone. If you like these I think you’ll like this.

Thanks, will have a look.

First episode starts off rather lame but soon gets into its stride. Currently on ep4 and it’s building up nicely

I'm interested but lost enthusiasm for a previous series, Big Sky, penned by the same writer. A little bit lightweight. I'll be surprised if this compares in any way with Yellowstone. Other than geographically , but I'll give it a go I think.

I wasn’t sure after 30 minutes but persevered and glad I did. It’s certainly more Longmire than Yellowstone

Encouraging, thanks.

Disappointed it's on Paramount, as I don't subscribe. I've read the books and they're very good.

Watched when it was first released, it's good but not fantastic however it's good to have a show most of the family can watch (PG13). Palate cleanser TV I like to call it. Am now on episode 2 of the second season.

The mountains and forests of Calgary are a fantastic backdrop too.

Finished series 1 last night.
I found it a good way to kill an hour and it was nice to have some proper Goody's and baddys.
The character of Joe improved to the point where you were actually rooting for him.
Book readers be prepared, it's not very closely based on the novels. Nate has only a bit part.
Apparently series 2 is released on Paramount+ but I'm damned if I can find it.
