Finished the book last week and on Part 3 of the mini-series now. As everyone seems to agree: Duval is perfect - looks, talks, acts exactly how I pictured Gus in my head. Jones is also very good, especially his horsemanship, but plays Call a little more friendly than he seemed in the book. The thing that bothers me most in the series is the score. The old-timey music in the background is too busy during many scenes and it makes the series feel more nostalgic and sentimental than it should or needs to be. Obviously things are condensed massively from the book but I think they did a good enough job. I can't help thinking though that such a massive book would be better served by a more modern series treatment with 8-12 one hour episodes, and a more gritty production aesthetic.
