This was garbage! The very idea that an unlicensed person could administer ECT was the first indication that the writers hadn't done enough research to understand how it worked. The themes explored are all a bit tired but in this film they seemed to be done as satire.....or maybe not. The acting and the fake southern accents were really bad and very distracting. The story never really develops into much and just plods along, going nowhere. The movie must have been made as some sort of joke. Difficult to understand how this could even be funded and streamed on a major streaming platform. Avoid watching as it will be time wasted!

People seem to never tire of medical dramas set in the ER where personnel rush about shouting instructions that use a mountain of acronyms! This series also has all the boxes checked for ensuring staff diversity of gender, ethnicity etc and the usual dialog that goes along with that. Older series focused more on the stories around the patients and the ER staff but this one seems to be more focused on constantly reminding the audience of the terrible state the health care system is in because of lack of staff, lack of equity and resources. At the same time, everyone seems to do amazing jobs firing off the instructions for care and having things done despite the apparent lack of staff. The script is very weak and coupled with some shaky camera work, is in itself also on shaky ground. The series is not a winner at all!

This series takes an unflinching look at life in the early expansion of the US as the pioneers traveled westward. It looks at the various factions involved, settlers, Indians, religious groups etc, and focuses on the Mormons in Utah as they clashed with every other group in the area. The series does keep viewers engaged but the way the script is written makes viewer continuity quite a struggle. The dots don't always connect with how the story is told. This is also made worse by the fact that insufficient time is taken to provide much background context about the era or the characters in the story! In addition, there are a few irrelevant scenes that are randomly inserted. One can only assume that these are for artistic purposes since they have no relevance to the story.

The level of acting is pretty dismal. The actors deliver their lines as if they are reading them from a teleprompter. The dialog at times is childish. Overall, it's average entertainment, but not a major masterpiece!
