I’ve never seen a show get so hot and then so cold over so much time but so few seasons. So many careers were catapulted but the most memorable thing about this show will be all the surrounding drama—if that. Many parts of season 1 are seared into my memory and I so wish we spent more time in that particular time in this world.

Looked great and had a few interesting threads, but none were sewn or drawn together effectively. I would’ve enjoyed it much more if we had just started at the end and given each character a vignette episode. But then S** L******* wouldn’t be able to do a “Western” with so many problems with its treatment of underrepresented demographics.
Episode notes
And let’s start addressing Sam Levinson’s weird obsession with Black men, too.
It’s giving ragebait as a decision because he knows highbrow or camp is unattainable.
Cassie is so unserious. Needed more interaction between Jules and both Jacobs men.
A collection of fun scenes, but still not hitting the same.
Maddy supremacy. Give me the spinoff with Alamo Brown and I’ll forgive everything else.
Less offensive and more boring than prior installments this season. Lexi is a grade A hater and I love that for her.
We’re doing too much for a show that won’t admit this is its last season. The continued obsession with certain Black narratives…yuck!
Unfortunately, it’s so much mess being cleaned up that nearly none of it is effective. Who was I supposed to care about in the end?
