Review of Django

Django (2022– )
5/10
It Was An "Okay" Series
3 October 2023
I won't comment much about the storyline, the acting, or the production. While the plot was a bit confusing (too many flashbacks), it kept my attention, I wanted to understand the relationship between John, Sarah, and Django. The acting was okay, despite the accents being a little out of place. I could live with the low light filming. In the Civil War flashbacks, I cringed at seeing both Union and Confederate soldiers (particularly Black Union infantry) carrying Springfield repeating rifles, as opposed to the widely used Enfield single shot muskets. But what I couldn't tolerate was the soundtrack. Throughout the episodes were scenes featured Scott Joplin rags; the series is set right after the Civil War (c. 1870s), but Scott Joplin's rags weren't written or published until the mid- to late 1890s (the "Maple Leaf Rag," his breakout, wasn't published until 1896). This technical flaw resulted in at least a 3-star reduction in my rating.
