We have been watching this series on INSP. Don't know how we missed it the first time around. Maybe we weren't ready to see James Arness in another role other than Matt Dillon.
It is very well written and the cast is wonderful in their parts. We've seen several actors who appeared on Gunsmoke.
Just finished watching the first season today. Holds your attention all the way through. Grate story lines on the characters, and well written. A western soap opera.
Highly recommend.
