Costner, in interviews and such, always gave me a center right vibe, but he was always careful not to fully align with any side. I can respect an actor that does that. Keeps politics to themselves for the most part, rather than using their fame to sway.

I enjoyed the first couple seasons of the show. I've given up on it. Too far fetched lately. As a person who lives rural, horses, cattle, etc., I can't stand the portrayal of the lifestyle. Mostly can't stand the social media aspects of it and how badly it misconstrues and perverts the reality of it in the eyes of those so far removed from the principals. Alas, that it was makes "good" tv though. If it were real, people would turn it off the first time they watched a guy scrub a water tank or trim hooves or fix a broken fence.
