Pretty good show so far, haven't seen anything all that new for this genre, but David Oyelowo has been incredible, almost like this role was made for him. I'm also always a fan of grumpy Dennis Quaid. I did like the show enough to write this little ditty though:

Weeellll, this is a story about a man named Bass He's got a pretty wife and really great abs He was a slave, but he ran awaaaaay Now he's a U. S. Marshall, well ain't that greeeat?

He used to fight for the Confederacy, But I'll tell you it wasn't willingly He beat up his master and he ran awaaaaay Now that master is still looking for him to this daaay

He met a Deputy by the name of Sherill He's a hard livin' man with a flask of swill Bass saw through his life of scooorn Bass excepted the job cause he can't grow no coooorn.

Well needs work...

There was one line of dialogue where I thought the show would have something to say, "Was it worth losing 25 years of my life for this job? No." Thinking that maybe in that tough exterior there was a gentle soul coming out of prison to make wrongs righted, and after seeing 1 1/2 episodes, is it worth wasting 10 episodes watching this show? No.

Yet another show written by Taylor Sheridan for man-babies who need a power complex. Except he tries his hand at comedy, and it's almost as bad as Domenick Lombardozzi's wig. A man almost 80 sleeping with a woman half his age, pushing people around, punching people, getting everything he wants immediately after leaving prison. I.e. Boring. I can't complain about Rey from Star Wars knowing everything and doing everything perfectly and not do the same for this. He also gets a plucky black sidekick which made me wonder if Sheridan had ever met one before and a very bored looking Martin Starr is in it too. Wow, wacky weed humor, wake me up when Sheridan realizes what decade he's in.

If you want to see Sly in a comedy/fish out of water story, see Demolition Man... I beg you.
