It’s superb.
Most people understand this era through Oregon Trail video game (also great!). The Mormon experience before and in Utah territory is extraordinary and few people really appreciate it.

One super weird fact is that the Nauvoo Militia at one point in the 1840s was 2,500 strong — Federal army is only 9,000.
The show does a great job of contextualizing this stuff. It’s well acted and well financed.
Really enjoyed it.
