This is one of the worst shows I've ever seen, but somehow I keep watching. It delves into "so bad that it's good" territory right from the first episode and somewhat stays there. The dialog is one terrible grandstanding speech to the next.This is one of the worst shows I've ever seen, but somehow I keep watching. It delves into "so bad that it's good" territory right from the first episode and somewhat stays there. The dialog is one terrible grandstanding speech to the next. Stephen Dorff overacts every possible scene and here is where I think the "it's so bad it's good" starts to play into things. I think just maybe they are trying to make a completely corny and over-the-top cowboy show like the ones from the 1950's and 60's. Something like Gunsmoke or Bonanza. The entire show just seems totally anachronistic. Every time I think it can't get any worse, there is another even cornier speech with lines like "That's what it means to be sheriff" or "That's not how we do things as long as I'm here". It's almost unbelievable. It couldn't be this bad organically, could it? They have to be TRYING to make it this way. It's just too intentional. Unfortunately, the cinematography is closer to a bad modern police show like the new Hawaii 5.0 or one of the unwatchable NCIS shows. So the corny 50's style writing doesn't really mesh with the way it's shot. IF you had someone shoot this TV show in more of a Tarantino style, you could probably keep the exact same predictable plot and corny dialog and it may even work. So.... it's a 4. I can't mark it lower because I think I may actually watch more of this crap. I eat at McDonald's every once in a while, too. Not everything can be a Michelin star meal and not every TV show can be Breaking Bad.… Expand
