John Anderson Wall Street Journal Legends usually suffer by too much detail, but the expansive approach of “Wyatt Earp and the Cowboy War” revisits oft-told tales without quite being a revisionist history; it fleshes out the bones of the Earp saga. Aug 22, 2024 Full Review Thelma Adams Boston Globe The docuseries doesn’t spare the vendetta slaughter that still makes the American icon a controversial figure, and a meaty documentary subject, over a century and a half later. Aug 21, 2024 Full Review Marty Brown Common Sense Media Ed Harris's conversational narration is written as someone from the future might imagine a mid-2000s Tumblr post. Sep 4, 2024 Full Review Joel Keller Decider Wyatt Earp And The Cowboy War takes an entertaining look at a surprisingly complex part of American history, with its judicious use of narration and interview supporting well-written and well-acted reenactments.

Joshua m Great stuff. I've been fascinated with the gunfight ever since the Star Trek episode. I didn't know there was so much more to the story. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 09/08/24 Full Review Audience Member Really enjoyed it. It was nice to finally get the whole story of the shoot out at the OK Corral And how it quickly became legendary at that time…sold a lot of newspapers. Social media would had gone nuts lol ;) Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 09/06/24 Full Review Ronald D Very good from beginning to end. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/04/24 Full Review Catharine D I’ve seen many entertaining versions of the Earps and the conflicts in Tombstone - but this series provides extraordinary detail backed up by 1st hand accounts and evidence of the time. Many thanks to all those involved in this project! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/04/24 Full Review Brittany P Having barely read about Wyatt Earp in school and leaving much of my opinion on the man to the 1993 Hollywood portrayl by Kurt Russell, one of my favorite films, this was fascinating to watch, the true account of America's most famous Old West legend. Very little of the '90s movie is accurate, which was disappointing, but this docuseries does a good job explaining the value in that relationship, and a lot more I never knew or thought possible for such a time. Very cool indeed. More of this, Netflix; yes. (Almost deducted a star for the music. Clearly the budget was hurting so ancient tunes were used that didn't fit, but this was too good not to highly rate. I'll admit, my stereotypical American preference to see a different ending was a bit of a gut shot, but history is history. Would have been incredible to meet him.) Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/04/24 Full Review Gail M Absolutely loved this series, it told the story so well & brought to the forefront the far reaching issues created by this feud, most of all I simply adored the music dotted throughout the series, I’m trying to find the soundtrack now , a definite 10/10 from me .
