Was this meant to show a realistic view of the travel on the Oregon trail? Was it meant only to show a prequel to the Dutton family? As beautiful and tragic as the show was, I was trying to find the point being portrayed in the show. Maybe I have to watch Yellowstone to get it. Maybe it is the pure lust for freedom driving those folks that made them risk it all, is that the point? Acting was spot on, but leaves one feeling depressed.
