A winning chemistry between all of the members of the family thrives at the center of Joe Pickett, a neo-Western with its own take on the various troubles that weave their way into the mountains and grand vistas of Wyoming.

With taut action, considerable humor and real warmth between Dorman and Julianna Guill as his wise ex-lawyer wife Marybeth, this not-so-ordinary Joe is one to Watch. [6 - 19 Dec 2021, p.9]

Absolutely love the character of Joe Picket and his family dynamics. Please renew. Finally an honest character.

It’s a show that likely benefits from the long tail of “Yellowstone’s” popularity, but for audiences drawn instead to a slow-burning mystery. On those terms, it’s modestly absorbing, perfectly fine, tick-above-average TV viewing.

Such a refreshing story! Actual character development, interesting plot, and a diverse cast that does not hammer a social message. Good old good guys vs bad guys!

Season 2 is a replay of season 1 What a disappointment..
Acting is not too good by the most part. You come to understand the personality of the game warden by his past but hes a little too slow.

The screen play is pathetic. The flashbacks are inane. The acting for the most part is poor to mediocre. Even the storyline is juvenile.
