It is a bad fantasy. I had an outdoor career in range managment and forestry. My Dad had a ranch for 30 years in Arizona. I work with horses every week teaching kids to ride. I know the difference between ranching reality and Hollywood fiction and debauchery, branding people, killing them if they try to quit, corruption, greedy Natives, whorish daughters, and phony ways of handling horses and cattle. It is black mark on ranchers everywhere.
I don't have any criticism of the above post, but it is a perfect summation of why I am philosophically opposed to consuming any entertainment about which I have any actual technical knowledge. I can't bring myself to watch anything where I might be tempted to critique it for accuracy while I'm watching it.
I have to admit that This Is Us has some of the best writers in the business. Watching this show is like studying a fine woven tapestry. The longer you look, the more you see.
In another vein, I'm still on the fence about Manifest. I'm concerned about it becoming another series totally overwhelmed by a government conspiracy theme - and yes, I'm still bitter about The X-Files.

Here’s a list of current or recent shows that I’m watching or have watched:
Better Call Saul. So good.
The Walking Dead. How will it end for Rick Grimes?
Snowfall. If you haven’t seen it, a really good show
Fear the Walking Dead. Loved the first half of this season, liked the second half
American Horror Story Apocalypse. It’s ok, kind of all over the place
The Last Ship. Final season for this decent show
Ozark. I’m on 1.9. Really good, wildly unpredictable
Stranger Things. Just started Netflix and binged it, entertaining show
Manifest. Stopped watching in part because of lack of time but didn’t grab me

Yeah.....makes we wonder if on the show he just leaves ala Morgan....or goes with Michonne and leaves. Maybe they are driven out or in disagreement with how to run the new world. Clearly, not everyone is on the same page (Maggie and others want a heavier hand). Him leaving leaves open the possibility of him coming back.
I feel as though the Negan story line needs to end completely and a new enemy introduced at some point. The show always felt fresh and exciting when the Governor, Terminus and then Negan arrived. Maybe it’s me but it feels dragged out currently although the ending on last episode with Maggie at the Hilltop taking care of business with the hanging caught me by surprise.

Wow, strong disagree here. I think that Anu is the first good match for Raj they've ever had on this show. My only grievance with that relationship is that I wish that it could have happened organically, as opposed to him giving up on finding love, and asking for his parents to arrange something for him.
