i view the first two night before come to imdb look for some actor info . i saw the 9 plus rating which surprise me since i be not that impress by what i would see . ( a reference and i happen to believe lonesome dove be the best tv western ever . i grow up next to the mgm back lot in culver city in the 50 and have a certain sense of reverence about the western genre . ) so i saw the glowing first review and decide to read more . there i find several review with 1 or 2 star that sum up my feeling well about the lack of character development and poor editing and feeling that it be shoot on the universal back lot ( mgm be long go ) and and overall impression that it be not go to come close to change my feeling about ld . my impression be that the overwhelming vote of those who choose to write be less than a 4 . 0. this get me to wonder about the process that yield a 9 plus rating . if the people give the 10 and 9 do not take the time to justify their vote and be the ballot box be stuff by people with a monetary motivation . i have long use imdb a one tool to screen movie and think it the best available . now i be not so sure .
