Is it as woke as I fear? It's based on a real person, so that makes me hope it's more evenhanded, but then again, we've had some truly rotten stinkers as of late. I might check out an episode or two and report back if no one here has seen it.

1883 started out really good. Halfway thru the season I was already sick of the teen girl, despite she's cute. It wouldn't have been so bad if they just let her make mistakes, but given the year/period, the seriousness and danger of their journey, for everyone to cheer and celebrating her don't-need-no-man-better-than-the-boys-fuck-my-way-across-the-west-at-17, required me to suspend so much disbelief I got tired. Like the writers telling me to celebrate her emotional decision making, and the total derailment of the trip. Eh. It was well-made, but overall a stupid story that ended up wasting my time.
