Hooked on the book series by C.J. Box, I felt obliged to try the TV adaptation.
Successful enough to be renewed for a second season.
Michael Dorman is well cast as Joe Pickett.
I was surprised to see “outlaw falconer” Nate Romanowski as a Black man. Nate’s personality is a little different in the TV adaptation, as well.
In the book Nate’s a lean, tall, angular predator — with a blonde ponytail.
He’s everyone’s favourite character.
For me the show is a bit slow. The pace of the books is more engaging.
And there are too many flashbacks, for me typically a sign of weak storytelling.
But the TV show is well done. I do recommend it for fans of the Joe Pickett books.
Click PLAY or watch it on YouTube.
This TV series is on Paramount+.
I was able to watch it via Apple TV free for a week. Then cancelled my subscription.
