4. What I know about the feud could be put in a thimble with a lot of room left over

Perhaps I should have said the head of a pin. I only know Hatfield/McCoy represented a feud. While we were watching I checked Wiki and it was interesting to read. The article doesn't give a lot of detail but it seems like the series is following closely to what Wiki says. I believe Kosner probably did a lot of research. I thought it interesting to see that some ancestors of both clans have been politicians, musicians and what not.

I agree with you about the Emmy nominations. I had no idea Paxton was such a wonderful actor.
