Bonded by their oath to the same flag, two confederate soldiers, Devil Anse Hatfield (Kevin Costner) and Randall McCoy (Bill Paxton), return home seeking peace after tireless months of battle. Their expectations are quickly shattered when a murder based on misunderstandings and an illicit love affair trigger warfare between former comrades and their clans. This historic feud teeters on the brink of an all out civil war as friends and neighbours join opposing sides in a rivalry that would ultimately shape American History. (Via Vision Entertainment)

The almost thirty-year long history of bad blood between two clans that through constantly escalating battles of frogs and mice had grown into an open conflict of weapons and legal action on the borders of West Virginia and Kentucky that could have easily ended up as a second civil war... All this in the pleasant atmosphere of a dirty and grimacing TV miniseries that turns into one big concert of acting by a range of old pardners (Berenger, Boothe, Paxton, Vibert) and mainly Costner’s big comeback in one of the best westerns of the past few years (or decades?). And this applies to all three episodes. Perhaps just I wish the ending of episode one weren’t so “Capulet-Montague".
