[Rooskibar03]

Its pretty well done I'll give them that but I wonder how they are doing on the historical accuracy?

are you serious?

Yeah I heard the same thing, BS. My dad's mom was born and raised in Wheeling, WV. Her family has been there since before the American Revolution, and she used to tell me stories about the feud that was still happening when she was a girl. In the hills of Kentucky, West Virginia, and Tennessee there was no law after the War of Northern Aggression as my Greatgrandma Margaret would say. There remains little law today way back in the hollers there. I have family there that the last time I was there 20 years ago had no electricity no running water just hand pumped wells. I think it's a little Hollywooded up but so far not bad. I am through the first episode.

If the movie is really accurate, those folks sure drank one hell of a lot of shine.

Still difficult to believe that they were so easily riled up to fight and kill each other.

Not overly historically accurate. Started off that way too since nobody really can say what started the feud but the series basically puts ALL of the potential causes into the plot so nobody can say anything about 'That's not how it started...' because just about every alleged cause was played out in the opener. So far it's entertaining but I wouldn't put any weight in any of it other than as entertainment.

All I got to say is it's easy to feud when every single member of each family is sauced 24/7/365.

I saw a preview and everyone looked attractive and I lost interest.
