It's always great to see cinematography that is out of the ordinary, which this series has in spades.
The initial unusual mysticism was really interesting, and I like the way the story unfolded in the first few episodes. It felt like a ship sailing on open waters with endless possibilities for what direction the story could have taken, given the solid underlying plot. And yet, about halfway through the series it proceeded to be more like a ship lost in the middle of the ocean without a rudder.
The characters just moved from one event to another with no rhyme or reason, and proceeded to move away from the one plot element that had huge exploratory potential. The change could have been a good arc, as free-flowing from one to the next is the nature of what a cowboy is, but it fell flat, the boat was sinking and the quality acting couldn't bail it out.
And then at the end of it, thrown in for no apparent reason was the most cliche forms of mysticism in modern cinematography. For what?
Throughout, I found it hard to wade through what felt like misogynistic themes, in-spite of the female lead. And I found myself asking, was part of it just a thematic circle jerk manifested on the screen?
