I binge watched it earlier this week. I thought the writing had a lot of depth. Loved the multiple story arcs. Too bad they didn't try to film in Creede for the opening sequence as the desert setting almost turned me off. For Western geeks like me, highly recommended.
I agree the writing has a lot of depth although still a way from perfect. The attempt at making characters 3 dimensional (avoiding stereotypes and cliche) is a decent attempt but far from perfect.
The repetitive scenes in episode 3 almost had me bailing. Nothing happens for the entire episode - aside from the last five minutes that suck you in for the next one.
The sexual tension between the lead and the ranch owner gets very snoozeworthy by the end of ep 4.
The characters are mostly interesting. The bad guy is a little too stereotypical and a couple 'save the cat' moments from the lead made me wince. Aside from that, if you love Westerns as much as I do and crave to see the gritty realness of those times, I'm up to episode 5 and will be watching more.
You may not know that Jack O'Connell, the lead actor, is British, and was actually raised around 40 miles from me. I think he does the accent pretty good.

Yes - the lead is very good. Would have never ID'd him as a Brit.
Thru 3 now - sputtering a little bit. Still have hope. The acting and the authenticity enough to keep me around.
