Fantastic series, really well presented between acting, real photography, and narration, best show I’ve seen on Netflix in ages and a very interesting story too, lots of facts about the gunfight and aftermath I never knew about.

Looking forward to watching this. Wasn’t he an advisor to John Wayne on his cowboy films in his later life?

I'm into the third episode. and inclined to think the whole series could have been condensed into 1 one-hour programme. It keeps repeating itself and using the same old stock footage. I particularly like the film of British steam trains to represent the US steam lines.

I've seen worse. I've seen better. To me Wyatt Earp is Henry Fonda in My Darling Clementine.

I think this is a fantastic series. I have the final episode to watch tonight.

The cowboy era interests me and I'm hoping to do an Amtrak tour of the USA when I retire in a couple of years and quite fancy taking the southern route from east to west coast and taking in some of the Boom towns of the era such as Dodge City, Tombstone etc.

Also enjoying this series!

Agree with others that it’s probably a bit long, but Netflix has form for this. Seems most of their documentaries are 3 or 4 times longer than they need to be and they really drag them out for views. This one less than others though as it’s really well made.

Very enjoyable and different to the usual material.

Only watched the first one and I'd rather there was less acting and more documentary.
