The perfect ending
robertdlar20 December 2023
The perfect and well written ending to an epic story. Bass Reeves had over 3000 arrests so they could go on and on for a decade making episodes but if this is going to be the final one, it ties things up nicely.

Bass was one of the most clever Marshalls, who used disguises and fake names to hunt down and arrest wanted criminals and his cleverness is shown in this epiosde. Sorry no spoilers. The episode also deals with so many subjects that were going on during the post civil war era, of which was the black family finding their place in society, struggle against racism and bigotry and just the growing pains of America.

Amazing acting performances from every one on this show. Hope they make more but if this is the last one, I am satisfied.

Part 8

Warning: Spoilers
We had a true cowboy ending for Sherill Lynn as he went down on his sword, figuratively speaking. There is a potential second season in here, but I feel like this is probably the end of the road for the story.

It was an okay finale, but it also felt like they just threw in violence for the sake of it, without a lot of substance.

Bass Reeves walking right into the trap did not seem like something he would do. He seems to always get the upper hand and make the right call and this seemed out of place.

It was not a bad finale, but overall this episode and the show felt like a massive letdown IMO.
