Yeah, I think Timothy Olyphant is a "man's man." I figured women find him pretty hunky. I like the dialogue and the humor. If you look at the credits, the whole series is based on the short story "Fire in the Hole," by Elmore Leonard (or is it Leonard Elmore? Undecided

). Hard to believe you can get 3 (and hopefully more) seasons of TV out of a "short story." I've read about 3 of his novels and he's a good writer.

Records weren't so great back then, so I don't think there is any good count as to how many died. And I wouldn't say he "liked" killing kids. He was the head of the family and it was his "duty" to seek revenge. Early version of street gangs, if you ask me. You kill one of mine, I'm gonna kill one of yours... somebody has to man-up and break the cycle, but nobody ever likes to take the last hit.

Started out as a deserter from the army then shoots a kid in the back, then 3 more tied to a tree then let one of his own kin hang and let his sons daughter die and darn near shot his own son in the back. I stick with my opinion of him a piece of pshit! Seems them hatfields did not like women or girls much either! The govs. of KY and WV did not like them much either.....

I grew up in southern ohio and heard the stories.

I looked up some of the few old photos in existence of the actual Hatfield's and McCoy's. The actor's resemblance to the actual historic people was uncanny. For that reason I think the series was as historically accurate as they could make it. And a darn good story it was.

In addition I found a photo of two girls taken in the 50's. one a Hatfield and the other a McCoy. They are good friends and the descendants of both families all get along fine now.
