It was a good show and actually appears to have held fairly firm to real history. History channel could learn something from that.
As I understand it, Devil Anse Hatfield was really an ancient alien.

I watched it and I really liked it. The only thing is, I know many historical events like that are blown out of proportion by popular myth. With the series tightened the timeline, so many of them people died that way.
I thought it might have a semi happy ending, but then I asked myself "how did you expect something like that to end?"
It was hard watching that cycle of violence.

There is a lack of evidence that he was not an alien. :)

To: Kid Shelleen
One of the things the History channel did very well was thread the promo of the series into other shows like Pawn stars and American pickers.
The Program itself was very good, but the promotion was excellent IMHO

“It was hard watching that cycle of violence”
I agree and I personally think that was the point. On night 2, I said aloud, “When will enough BE ENOUGH?” Then I thought that this is what extreme hate can do. When “to get even” takes over every bit of soul and cell in oneself.. it becomes a cancer of sorts. Well, that is what I got out of it. Maybe I read too deeply into things....

I dvr’d the three episodes figuring after watching the first few battle scenes thinking that my wife would not have an interest. I watched the first episode and she watched the last two with me. We both enjoyed.

How did Devil Anse survive all that shooting?
Evidence seems to suggest that he was in possession of some sort of ancient shielding technology unknown to modern man.

If you noticed it was the two men who started and led the Feud survived and had to live with what they had done?
Devil Anse and Randall McCoy outlived it by 30+ years, but they had to watch their Sons and Daughters get killed because of their hate.

I did not watch this, because it seems trivial. It’s not a major turning point in behavior or law or control.
However, it’s good to see HC achieve this level of success. It goes to show how much we are interested in the truth. I don’t detect bias on the HC, perhaps I’m naive, but I just don’t see it.

Devil Anse took to religion just before he died.

Otherwise how did aim those shots? They clearly didn't have laser range finders back in the 1880's....their is only one answer due to the lack of evidence...
Time Traveling Aliens gave them the technology, so Kevin Costner would make a 3 part TV series about it in 2012 and they would profit!

Sort of a man made hell on earth. What could be worse than to watch child after child killed? The bible verse, “Vengeance is mine sayeth the Lord” kept popping in my head. I got to thinking that vengeance is the Lord’s work since He can handle it and knows what is fair and just. At the end, I saw two broken, miserable, demented old men with nothing left... like the hate had consumed all of their humanity.
