I really wanted to like this show since it is about a fascinating person. The production value and acting are top notch. However the story line is not related to the real history whatsoever. Officer Reeves had nothing to do with tracking down racists that were killing ex slaves. He never transferred any black suspect over to the Texas Rangers that got murdered. He was not stone killer as portrayed, and only killed 14 outlaws over his entire 32 year career. In reality almost all the people he worked with including the man who recommended him for the badge were ex-confederate soldiers.
This show seems to follow the fashionable trend of revising history to one where the past was over the top exaggeratedly racist than historically recorded.
