Don't waste your time on this hillbilly bushwacking garbage

I found it ironic that the top user review for this series isn't even spelled correctly. I'd selected to view this based upon favorable word of mouth and the fact that I like most of the big names that were in this in other works. Filmed in bleak color didn't add anything. The first part I thought well that's the opener, it's going to get better. Episode two confirmed that wasn't going to happen and I decided to watch the third part simply out of morbid curiosity. Apparently the director feels that all tough men spit which happens just about every few minutes and I find that disgusting. The accents made the viewing without subtitles impossible and I found myself remembering better titles with similar themes throughout the viewing such as Cold Mountain, by far a much better picture. Banjos, hillbillies and bushwackers this is 290 minutes of my life I wish I could have back. Even the attorney Cline seemed to be channeling Val Kilmer's Doc Hollywood and Bill Paxton's character seemed impotent throughout. Talk about a period in history that didn't need retelling. Johnse is a typically douchebag kid and Tom Berenger looked like he hadn't washed in a month just to prepare for this role. Apparently too, moonshine can cure a bullet to the gut and everyone seemed content consuming copious amounts. I'm one who actually likes certain Costner movies, but this isn't one of them. Were I to teach a class on film and television making I might show this as an example of what not to do.
