Wife and I started binge watching this late in 2018 to get caught up after starting Netflix. Loved the comedy and small sub plots of this show. We liked the crotchety nature of Beau. And we like how he has grown to be less crotchety. We really noticed and disliked the unneeded swearing right out of the chute. All in all, we were cruising along pretty good with things. But when Rooster left, the show definitely took a turn for the worse. The tragedy and darkness seem to now overwhelm the comedy. Dax definitely hasn't brought back the chemistry lost when Rooster left. However I did see hints of it during the last episode. I totally disagree with Abby leaving Colt. And even Colt lying to Abby about selling the herd in the first place. Colts character doesn't seem like a liar to that degree. As disjointed as the Bennett's were before Rooster left, they were family and they stuck together. Abby and Colt breaking up was not the best sub plot for us. Our favorite Netflix programming is 'Heartland'. I know that this show is totally different work than Heartland. But we enjoy it all the same. Up till Rooster left anyway. I won't say we'll stop watching yet. But if the darkness and tragedy aren't balanced or offset with some light heartedness and joy soon, we could stop. Life just isn't that darn dark. You know, it's ok to leave an episode without a dramatic cliff hanger. Hopefully we're going to come back and see the next episode for the characters and plots. Not just the drama of it all. Best....
