The plot seems to follow the feud history, but did anyone in the production staff actually visit Mingo county West Virginia or Pike county Kentucky? I've never seen so much flat land as photographed here. Maybe Romania wasn't such a good location...
The dialogue coaches could have been better, as no one in this series really sounds like they are from central Appalachia. Most of the dialect sounds much more like piedmont deep south rather than the mountains of West Virginia or Kentucky.
Lots a of blood, gore, and guts. Once again, Appalachia is reduced to Stephen Fetchit-like Hillbillies. The best part of the series is the history tags at the close of episode 3.
It's easy to hate Perry Cline. No so easy to hate Nancy McCoy...but then she is portrayed by Jena Malone...
And, the McCoys had a great innerspring mattress circa 1880...
