It's generally in the argument for "best written and performed show of all time". And he steals that show hard, which is saying a lot, because many of the actors on the show reached DEEP. The backdrop is about a small settlement in the "Old West" that grows into a true town, and seeing that play out, as a thing unto itself, is truly memorable. The way the layers are placed reminds me a lot of the writings of the great Knut Hamsun, who was the master at unfurling the growth of towns, allowing for the creeping/subtle but necessary introduction of corruption, which is like some kind of sustenance for growth on this level.
