Great show with lots of strong performances. Warning that nearly every scene Alma Garrett is in slows the episode wayyyy down but other than that there's a lot of good plot lines and interaction between characters. McShane and Olyphant drive the show but good performances by most of the support cast. The two exceptions are Steve and Trixie, who are both ultra annoying and way overplayed by otherwise solid actors (at least in other things they've been in). The tension in the final season is well played and built but HBO had decided not to renew it at some point during that year and thus rushed the ending. Fortunately the movie which followed does a solid job of tying up some of the lose ends. Overall great show but it's not wall to wall excitement.
