| Writer: | Ali Imran Zaidi |
| Genre: | Drama | Period | Western |
| Why to Read: | An intriguing and diverse cast of characters helps differentiate this Western from the others of its genre. The idea of two oppressed groups – Native Americans and recently-freed slaves – joining forces to challenge their shared oppressor is a compelling one with plenty of thematic potential. The writing is strong throughout, but the script particularly shines during the fantastic action sequences. By creating clear stakes, an expansive story world, and unique characters we haven’t seen on television before, the writer sets this series up for long term success and critical acclaim. |
