Hatfields and McCoys
|
|
| We watched -- and LOVED it. John and I both love history, and while it was violent, it was reality in those times. I read it was the most watched, basic cable show ever.... I found myself trying to "choose sides". Who was right? Who was wrong? In the end, I decided they were all nuts. When the Hatfields shot the McCoy sons though, it was most heart wrenching. And then what happened to Cotton.... |
| Forgot to watch it, drat! |
| I have recorded it and I'm looking forward to watching it! Is it graphically violent or frightening? Joan and I don't like to watch that kind of stuff. |
| There are portions that are graphically violent and frightening, but I don't think you could have done this period piece without it, since that's the way life was. There were a few times when I turned my head, but the storyline kept me coming back! |
| We recorded it because we weren't able to watch when it aired. Getting ready to watch the first episode tonight! Thanks for the comments--I am looking forward to this. I don't necessarily like violence--but do love History! |
| i watched and rewatched it (thanks Dish). It is one that i will order to have a copy. Kind of like Lonesome Dove........another great one. And as was said, to stay true to the time period and the subject at hand, there had to be graphic. That was just the way life was. Kind of like Billie the Kid time frame out here in the Southwest. |
| I recorded it too and now you have me really excited Chris. Now to find time to carve out for Tim and I to watch it.  |
| Well I finished the series last night and I think it was very well done! I agree--this is a keeper. I actually think watching it a second time would be beneficial--as I am sure you would pick up on things that went by you the first time! As with each moment in history--it is fascinating to realize how much has changed in a relatively short period of time--yet how human nature really remains very much the same. |
| My first husband was a McCoy descendant, and his 100-year-old granny, Dolly McCoy, used to tell us stories of the feud. He always intended to record them for posterity, but I don't know whether he ever did. I have lost contact with him (this was in the 70's) and would love to know how accurate the series was. |
| I work with a direct descendent of one of the McCoys. He is the great great grandson of the boy who said that he bowed to no man. According to him, those are the stories he heard growing up. He said that it was glamorized of course for TV. His grandmother has a metal type picture of Roseanne. The town of Pikeville had the annual Hatfield and McCoy Festival recently. Attendance was tripled. They hope to stimulate tourism with tours, etc. |
| We just finished part 3 last night. We really enjoyed watching it also. I was just asking at work today how accurate it was. The ending surprised me. I thought it was prett violent, but I'm sure it was accurate to the times. Lisa Frankie and Mattie |
