Kathryn M This wasn't on my watchlist but when I saw Ed Harris' credit, I turned it on. I had the minimum knowledge about Wyatt Earp, mainly from that famous shootout and the film Tombstone. Did I know of the sequence of events that followed? Nope. Hearing the (mostly) true story of the violence that followed was an eye opener, for sure. It really gave context and texture to the vengeful aftermath. I was very entertained. Ed Harris' narration was impeccable, and the mostly silent acting of the characters was on point. The actors who played Wyatt and Doc Holliday had real charisma and good looks. I highly recommend this docuseries! Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 12/13/24 Full Review Scott M The reenactments look & feel phony especially when comparing to the greatness of the highly fictionalized "Tombstone", nevertheless there is great substance in the historical accuracy. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/22/24 Full Review Michael W This docudrama series was really good. Ed Harris, the cast and the entire crew did an awesome job on making this docudrama series about one of the greatest legends of the Wild West Wyatt Earp. It was very intense and interesting to see how Wyatt Earp, his brothers Virgil and Morgan, and Doc Holliday became legends. If you haven't seen this series yet, check it out sometime. It's a definite must see. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/19/24 Full Review Dena R Wyatt Earp on Netflix: Where Politics, Power, and Gunfights Collide If you're in the mood for something more than just a Western shootout, *Wyatt Earp* on Netflix delivers a high-stakes blend of political maneuvering, financial intrigue, and the personal consequences of America's railroad expansion. This isn’t just another tale of good vs. evil—it’s a deep dive into the raw forces that shaped the country. The series shines a spotlight on how big bankers, wielding incredible influence, used their power to expand America westward, and how even a single gunfight could alter the course of history. What hooked me was the balance of action and political drama, showing how Wyatt Earp wasn’t just a gunslinger, but a man navigating the complexities of law, money, and justice in a time when corruption was just another part of the landscape. Highly recommended for fans of historical dramas with real-world implications—this is a must-watch for anyone who loves seeing politics and power collide with gritty action. You’ll walk away with a new appreciation for the forces shaping America, and you won’t be able to stop thinking about how one man’s decisions reverberated across an entire nation.
