Theme

  • Law v Anarchy; Order v Chaos; Civilization v Wild West; Liberty v Security; etc.
  • Revenge: How far is too far?

Central Tension

Good people trying to survive and thrive on a lawless and wild frontier.

Expectations

  • Shooting. Lots of shooting. Maybe an actual showdown or two.
  • Action/Mystery, not "slice-of-life"; no cattle-drives, etc
  • Expect some (abbreviated/abstracted) long-distance travel segments.
