That was one great show overall, although there was a season or two in
the middle that were not as good as others.  I miss it, but have most of
it on DVD now.

I assume you mean where the actors are from?  I had no idea where they
were actually from.

Being a Kentuckian, what I found interesting was their depiction of the
cities in the area.  In an early episode, they showed what was supposed
to be an outside scene in Lexington.  Lexington is our second-largest
city, and looks like a city, but they made it look more like Frankfort or
some other small river town.

Later, they had a few scenes where a member of the Cornbread Mafia was at
his desk in an office looking out over a bunch of sky scrapers.  That
scene looked at most like Louisville, but was supposed to be the Capital
--  Frankfort.  At the time, Frankfort only had *one* building over 12
stories tall, and it was imploded several years ago now.

This one is not nearly as good as the original.  Without giving any
spoilers, Raylan seems dumber (sometimes a lot dumber!) and most of the
new charaters are not too likeable, whether they should be or not.  In
the original, there were times you found yourself pulling for Boyd even
though he was the bad guy.  The best part of the new one is the end of the
final episode (and no, not just because that meant it was over!).

I did not see it on streaming, but when they showed it on FX after it had
streamed.  People who streamed it say it was better because you can watch
it "like a movie" and the story flows better.

I would still suggest watching it, though.
