Elkhorn

My wife, my son, and I watched this show pretty much every week. I consider myself a history buff, so I wanted to check this one out. We got pulled into the story. The actor playing Teddy (Mason Beals) was tough when he needed to be, but also pulled off some of Teddy's quirky and nerdy traits. He looks a lot like Teddy as a young man, who was often described as "rail thin" in his younger years. The Frenchman Marquis de Morès (Jeff DuJardin) was exceptionally magnetic, sinister, and charming. The guy you love to hate. I lived in France for 2 years after college, and I enjoyed the touch of French culture and accent. I had heard of the real Marquis before, and he really was a larger than life character, and DuJardin nails it. The show as a whole felt pretty accurate. My wife was a big fan of the females on the show - the actress playing the Marquis' wife Medora (Ashton Solecki) was elegantly powerful and evil, the actress playing Rosie (Tori Griffith) was very organic, and Rosie's aunt Maddox (Stephanie Shulz) often stole the show with some biting humor. Overall, we will miss all of the great characters of Elkhorn and are really hoping for a Season 2!
