There is just too much “suspension of disbelief” in this show. Examples:
The newly elected governor and the newly elected senator can go have lunch in a public restaurant, and no one notices them, speaks to them, or seems to care about them.
Main character, now governor, commutes the prison sentence of his girlfriend and places her on house arrest, IN HIS HOUSE. The media scum in Montana are as far left as anywhere else, they would be having a field day with that.
The Dutton family and ranch hands are basically the Montana mafia, they have murdered so many people (enemies) I have lost count, but none of the bodies are ever found and no one ever talks.
The attorney general is the governor’s adopted son, he has committed at least 2 murders including his own father. But no one ever misses these people and no one ever asks questions.
Where did the attorney general’s girlfriend/campaign manager disappear to, along with their new born child? Did they just vanish into thin air so that the atty general can have a new squeeze?
Montana is a huge state, but to watch this show you’d think Bozeman is maybe 20 miles from Billings, and Miles City is just a few miles further. Just jump in the pickup and you are at the next city in a few minutes. In reality, it takes several hours to get from one large MT city to then next.
Plus, the plot lines are getting very stale in season 5.
The Clintons have been doing that for years, only in their case, the bodies have been found, but nobody snitches.

This, I don’t find odd at all.
On January 7, 2019, my gf at the time and I were in D.C. for a scheduled WH tour. If POTUS had not returned to the WH from MAL that very day, we could have had the SS behind the scenes VIP tour to include the Oval office. We stopped for lunch at the Old Ebbit Grill, which is a couple of blocks from the wh. Sitting 24” to her left on the bench, next to my gf (at the time lol) was Nikki Haley, interviewing a new assistant. Gf (at the time) never even noticed. I quietly sent her a text; “don’t make it noticeable, but do you realize who you’re sitting next to?”. While gf (at the time) is VERY politically savvy, she never noticed. This same scene played over again a number of times while we were in D.C.at various establishments, including Giuliani, senators and representatives, especially at the Trump tower cocktail lounge and restaurants.
BTW, they treat you like royalty at Trump tower. That’s a story for another day though, but if POTUS returns, I’ll certainly book a stay at TT.
In my experience, after numerous business trips to D.C., I think the community knows and is aware of the presence of these people, however, to them, seeing leadership around town is so common that it is simply no big deal, something they just get used to and don’t fawn over.
