concept is good even though there is artistis licence here,the use of a crank cin-forch to seperated proteins was amushing.ice cream good seperating blood and plasma ,hmmmmm.stiil like the show

I've only taken one college course in forensic sciences but many of the methods he uses are familiar. I'm not an expert and it's good enough for me! I love a show where the writers actually do some research!

It is common on every show from Gunsmoke to 24 that bad guys cannot hit the broad side of a a barn.Lots of bang-bang shooting, but never an actual hit.So here we have the explanation why the bad guy can take as many many shots as they want (usually eight or ten per six-shooter) and still never hit anything.Guess all cowboys are legally blind.

I really love Tom Berengers' acting,Rough Riders was awesome,so i went into this series jazzed.I aslo liked the first episode...........but.........this show is starting toget just a lil' stale for me.The stories are starting to get redundent,man get's shot,wrong man get's accused,Finch sloves case with Chicken blood.simple my dere Watson!I'm gonna keep watching more episodes'.but if someone don't get shot soon,i may leave this series left for dead........

Well not when it came to the way a prostitute was treated. (Except the part on the street by those woman) A prostitute would have NEVER been invited into a 'decent' woman’s house of that time. If a woman of that time allowed a Pro to stay in her home, she herself would have been labeled that. Especially a single woman or two single woman.
Also, a young unmarried woman going on a weekend trip, un-chaperoned, with a young man who she was not even engaged too? That would have been considered a loose woman even in the 1950's, let alone in the late 1800's! It would not have even be considered, let alone allowed.

What a awesome way to not only watch a decent show that tries to accurately present the West as it really was but also get feedback from other viewers. Thank you favstout for educating us .......... I too am a stickler for Historical accuracy and wouldn't have questioned those points ...... so thank you for enlightening us. At the end when they are having the horse chase scene they are riding down a road that is not dirt ( I forget what they call that stuff ) but is is being introduce to roads through out Colorado and the West. It is not pavement but its not dirt either, anybody know what they call it? The trees don't really seem to match the trees in Colorado not enough Aspens and to many Ferns so if you really want to pick it apart we could probable go on for ever. That being said I agree with the rest of you, this is a good show, willing to present tough social issues while providing good entertainment. Thank you Hulu for offering those of us who are tire of the dreck they insist on force feeding us on regular cable with limited commercial interruptions. Some one please explain to me what dog heaven has to do with thugball, who ever has the most tattoos wins.

I enjoy the show, but I'd call it a science fiction (sci-fi) show. I know someone else mentioned its "historical accuracy," but that claim doesn't work (granted, I'm an historian). Yes, for example, in Ep 3, Finch mentioned that "Sir Robert Peel" went to Paris to learn techniques developed by "Alphonse Bertillon." That would be difficult for Peel to do, unless he had a time machine! Why? Peel died 3 years before Bertillon was born! Now, both were real enough men: Peel founded the modern form of the police force (developing the police force for London at Scotland yard), but he died in 1850; Bertillon was born in 1853 and he did develop many techniques used to law enforcement, including a measurements technique for identification. I also noticed a similar mixed up "history" in an earlier episode. That said, I suggest one does what I did, suspend all "historical belief" and enjoy the scientific fiction of Peacemakers. Yes, I would have watched more seasons, too. Cheers!
