Great first season story, looking forward to the second!
Starts off a pretty simple story of a man moving his family to a small town in WY. He has a crazy run in with a poacher and that begins his trail to uncover a bigger more involved plot going on in this town than he ever imagined. Great characters you care learn to care about and the scenery is incredible! Kind of makes me want to take a vacation up there someday.
No WOKE that I can remember or we would of probably not finished the first season. Can't wait for season 2!

Some woke
One of the main characters, Nate Romanowski, was converted to a person-of-color for the series. If you're not familiar with the book, that wouldn't be out of place. Mustafa Speaks brings this altered character to a new life. It's just worth noting that the change was made. It would be head-in-the-sand thinking to deny that it was a PC move. There's also an obligatory homosexual that shows up in a knitting / gossip club now and then. I don't remember that from the books. Other than that, this series is similar to the Bosh re-hash style. Two or three of the novels are presented in a mishmash making up a season. Overall, it's worth the watch but, of course, the books are much better.
EDIT: Season two...
It's getting a little more woke. Joe is being turned into an emotionally crippled wimp while his shotgun-wielding wife takes matters into her own hands. Scene: Joe and his wife are holed up in a cabin waiting for the showdown and she starts letting him know how he isn't the strong pillar that he thinks he is. He breaks down and admits that he needs help. It's kind of a subtle anti-toxic-masculinity message.
