I'm not even through half way and I'll not watch another episode.

My wife is all caught up on the books and has given the show a middling rating after having read them first. She watches the TV show with my in-laws who also enjoyed the characters in the books. One thing I'll note, in the books he brings up a lot of contemporary issues ... for example the Sackett v. EPA case that was recently resolved favorably. He also has a lot of gun related stuff in the books apparently ... since my wife is constantly asking me questions about whether something he's saying is real or made up. So far, he's put very accurate info about guns and issues with the Feds in his works of fiction.
I expect the show runners have taken some liberties with the content to bend it to their liking.

IMO, most everything bad that has happened to him was because of having his head up his butt and not paying attention to his surroundings. Oh, well....He's being canceled so I guess I'm not alone.

It's true he gets himself in trouble because he's running on emotion, the story is ok, but most of the "acting" seems forced. I'll continue to watch but it is annoying at times.
Yeah, I think the writing and production by Paramount / Spectrum left a lot to be desired. As usual, the books are better. I suppose there are a lot of sacrifices that are made when going from book to movie ... given the average movie run time. I would think less so for a TV series with eight to ten one-hour episodes to get it done in. But Hollywood apparently must meddle nonetheless.

Sorry Blaine... Mrs. YK and I are "Joe Pickett" fans as well. First couple episodes were slow, but ever since then, the plots have been interesting with a lot of twists. But we're pretty much fans of any modern western law enforcement shows.
I started it. But when he surrenders his weapon I figured it was another bit of hollywood BS.

Hey, I have the solution to being aggravated by what you watch on TV. DON'T HAVE ONE! I don't and I can think of so many things I'd rather be doing around my house than watching people pretending they're someone else.

I evidently live under a rock since I've no idea what y'all are talking about. Now I need to go check this thing out.
After seeing several references to this show, my wife and I watched the first episode a couple of weeks ago. I was done about halfway through; it took her until the end of the episode before she decided she didn't want to watch any more. By then I was several chapters into a Robert B. Parker western!
