Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Dude that gave this show 1 star was so impressed with his soap box position he failed to realized the negative review was based on a completely false premise. He states nobody used filthy language in the 1800's around the turn of the next century. He was completely engrossed with teaching us how bad the practice would be.. blah blah blah, drivel. The fact is, modern curse words are substituted in place of words such as bugger, strumpet, bootlicker and cherry. Yeah, see, those words mean nothing to us today, but substitute them for their modern equivalents and, as the reviewer so aptly showed, they cause the same shock their predecessors did in the 1800's. So, language MUST be substituted if we are to experience the real look and feel of a period piece which 1883 IS. Language is spot on and the substitutions precise. This show is written with perfection and acted superbly. The filming is exquisite. It's unfortunate folks with soap boxes can't think through the nuances of modern cinema or television to find gems like this. My gosh, the budget to shoot this show must be immense. I mean modern western movies don't bother to spend a budget to come even half as close in filling a small town with extras and period culture like 1883. The background cast in Fort Worth alone was stagecraft to be admired. Every player told a story with the wardrobe and the ambiance alone. This sort of attention to detail should attract every sort of viewer clamoring for a great show to watch. In my very humble, though technically correct opinion, anyone giving this show a 1 star has some sort of axe to grind and its not related to the filming of 1883.
