WHAT DO ACTUAL WEST TEXANS THINK?

West Texans gave their hot take on the show and most love the series! Being from West Texas, I know how picky we can be when we are being portrayed in Hollywood. The fact that most people liked the series was a shock.

Though most liked it there were some negatives. People did mention they could do without the ex-wife and daughter in the show. Even though they can be extra it's something easy to put up with to enjoy the rest of the series.
