Overview
- All seven episodes of the female-led Western are now streaming on Netflix following the December 4 launch.
- The series centers on rival matriarchs in 1854 Washington Territory, with Lena Headey as Fiona Nolan and Gillian Anderson as Constance Van Ness.
- Critics consistently praise Headey, with many also commending Anderson, while faulting pacing, uneven character development, tonal shifts and an abrupt-feeling season end.
- Kurt Sutter created the show but left late in production, and a reported 10-episode plan was cut to seven with several shorter runtimes.
- Filmed in Alberta near Calgary, the show draws comparisons to neo‑Western peers like Yellowstone and Deadwood for its land-and-power conflict and frontier visuals.
