It is streamed on Paramount+...that's how I watched the first season.

Episodes drop weekly.

I just looked at some of the information of Season 1 of Joe Pickett. I wasn’t aware of the series until you mentioned it. Looks pretty good and I have Paramount + so I will watch it. Thanks for sharing.

I had read that this TV series had been cancelled. Glad to hear that may have been some bad intel.

Season 1 was free with Spectrum TV and now they want you to pay for it on Paramount+. Stream, stream, stream.

I am rewatching the final episode of season one just to catch back up on the plot. That’s the only bad thing about waiting so long to continue a story. It’s hard enough for me to keep up with Yellowstone, and it has continued yearly.

I finished Season 1 last night and I'll echo Targets Guy's sentiment in that I was disappointed in Season 1, as well. I think the casting was great and I enjoyed the characters (save for the two old dingbat ladies), but there was too much law enforcement corruption at so many levels in the story line to make it believable for me. Its a TV story, I know, but too far from reality to make it credible.

I'll watch Season 2 when it breaks and hope for more realism.

I'm on book 18 of his series. While I find enjoyable, some of the scenario's are nor believable.

I thought the OP got the Steelers' QB's first name wrong. That's all these fan-boy talk radio hosts talk about. Heck, they had the Pirates going to the World Series the way they started; until they got back to their loser ways. Then it's back to the Steelers and the Superbowl just around the corner. Kenny Pickett and his little hands is starting a new dynasty!

Well I’ve been watching season #1 of Joe Pickett and finished episode #5 last night. The series seems to be slow moving and I can’t tell if any of the Law Enforcement or Game wardens are honest people except Joe, and I’m not too sure about him. I’ll continue to watch the remaining episodes and season #2 as well. Sure is pretty country.

I have all the Joe Picket books and a couple of others. CJ Box is a good writer and very readable. I took issue with the casting of the series. Especially the part of Nate.

Looking forward to season 2. I’ve enjoyed the books, currently on the wait list for the latest one from the library. I hope he still uses the S&W 66 in the second season

Ok, watched the first two episodes today. I frankly don’t remember if the character was as stupid in the early books as he is in the show but-damn! Lol

Watched episode 2 of season 2 today and was very disappointed. I'm a retired LEO and worked with several game wardens in northern California and all of them were super officer safety oriented, even more so than most street cops due to being out in the sticks and working alone without backup. It is painful to watch Pickett making so many officer safety blunders.

Yeah, he was. That stupidity was taken directly from the book.

Thanks. I definitely remember the inexperience of the character in the first couple of books but that was over 20 books ago lol. Still waiting for the latest. I need to watch the credits to see which books season 2 is based on.

Glad to see he’s still carrying the 66.

After watching the first episode with the fake elk eating hay and running off, I almost turned the show off. I have never seen a show with so many crooked public servants. But yet I keep watching it. I am starting the last episode of season one.

I'm still wishing the would bring back Longmire. I am almost finished with the books and can't read them without picturing Lou Diamond Phillips as Henry Standing Bear and Katee Sackhoff as Vic.

I could not even make it through the first episode. So disappointing in so many ways. Surprise the author allows this trashing of his character and stories. Money remains king I guess but the wife and I are done with this series.

So, so bad. I hoped it would be better than the first season, and if anything, it's worse.

I'm actually embarrassed by it.

I've only watched three or four episodes. Not excellent, but easily a step above Longmire.
