workingcinderellaman Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 Did anyone catch this? It was aired on the History Channel over the Memorial Day weekend. I DVR'd it and just finished watching it last night. From what I read about this, it was very accurate. It's really sad what hate and vengeance can do to people.

Khan Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 It was totally great...I mean very well done for the History Channel. The entire series was shot on location in Romania in a remote area that resembled Appalachia. Well worth the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iluvgeddy05 Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 My husband and I both loved it. He knows someone who is related to Hatfields, not too closely, but knows him. Husband said this guy is a little "off the wire" sometimes Bill Paxton should get an Emmy nod IMO. I didn't even know it was him until I saw his name in the credits, than found on IMDB who he played (Rand'l) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thesweetscience Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 Watched it and loved it. It also caused me to go our and do some reading on the two families. I love history so it was right up my alley so to speak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

treeduck Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 This annoyed me at the Mayweather-Cotto fight, the corners were sponsored by Hatfield and McCoy's all night. So they'd go: "In the red, Hatfield corner "blah blah blah" and in the blue, McCoy's corner "so and so" what are they gonna sponsor next the ring lights? The refs butt?

The Cat 3 Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 This was fantastic. I thought, "hmm, let me check this out on On Demand" and ended up watching all three parts back to back a few nights ago. (Man, was I tired for work the next morning). I couldn't stop watching...the story and the acting was so good. I'm actually planning on watching this again.

Del_Duio Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 After all the ads for this on the History channel over the past month or so, I wanted to make a point to give it a shot. Turns out, it was AWESOME. Every night it had me glued to my seat, actually. The only thing I'll say is that it was really really hard to feel a ton of sympathy for the McCoys. It seemed like they started 90% of everything. But very good. I'm probably going to buy this on DVD should it ever be available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeOhBe Bob Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 DVRed it to watch with Diane after she got home from work...so one night later than aired, but saw the whole thing. At 2AM grim and intense is grimmer and more intense Hopefully not watered down and edited on Lifetime. The profanity and imagery just makes it all the better for you to immerse yourself in the history Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J2112YYZ Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 Finally got to watch this over the last few days and it was a very good miniseries. I had always known of the feud between them but was never quite sure of all the details and this show painted a great picture of that. I know it was a different century and laws weren't the same then but it's mind blowing to think about how long this rivalry lasted and how many lives were taken during it.

I knew of the Hatfields and McCoys but not the fact that the feud wiped out so many . It was an interesting story though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Union 5-3992 Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 I am related to the Hatfeild family. I will definitely check this one out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ILSnwdog Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 Just started watching this last night. It's on Comcast On Demand. Damn it's good. Stayed up way too late, and I'm in a fog today! And the McCoys are a bunch of whiny bitches! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Queen of Megadon Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 Watched Parts 1 and 2 in succession on the first airings, but couldnt get to the 3rd part til last night. DAMN good stuff. I, too, was riveted each and every episode. I think I'm going to have to purchase this when it comes out. I'd love to watch it over again...and again! (an aside...with both Mare Winningham and Kevin Costner in leading roles, I couldnt help making a few "Wyatt Earp" comparisons.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
