The Hatfields and McCoys...excellent, especially for TV, nothing like it before on the History Channel, as well produced as most movies, fairly good on history and excellent on drama. They've set a new standard for historical story telling. Kevin Costner as Devil Anse Hatfield and Bill Paxton as "Ol' Rannl" McCoy are terrific, as is the rest of the lesser known cast. This production took the stereotypic "feudin' hillbillies" joke and made it into a tense and violent high tragedy, not entirely unlike Shakespeare.
