Although the story is set in the Appalachians in West Virginia and Kentucky, the miniseries was shot in Romania, just outside Brașov with the Carpathians standing in for the Appalachians. Music The score for the series was composed by John Debney and Tony Morales, with additional music by Kevin Costner and Modern West. The soundtrack features vocals performed by Lisbeth Scott on The Long Road Down. Reception Critical reception The miniseries met with favorable reviews from US critics. Based on 20 reviews from mainstream critics, it received an average score of 68 / 100 at Metacritic, indicating `` generally favorable reviews ''. Linda Stasi of the New York Post commented : `` When I first heard about it, my thought was : Why ? But that was before I sat through all six hours of this intense saga. Most miniseries this long tend to lose steam somewhere between the beginning of Night 1 and the middle of Night 2. Not this one... The miniseries is full of stand - out performances from great actors... But it 's the guys you may not know who will blow you away. '' Entertainment Weekly 's Ken Tucker gave the series a B+, stating : `` In stretching the tale over three nights, the pacing sags at times, and recriminations can get repetitive. It also does n't help that Reynolds shot the miniseries in that perpetual sepia tone that gives everything a faux - antique look. But overall, Hatfields & McCoys is engrossing, and enlightening about a feud that proves to be a lot more than the bumpkin brawl of pop legend. '' Mary McNamara of the Los Angeles Times stated : `` Although deftly nailed into its time and place with sets and costumes so vivid you can smell the blue wood smoke and the stink of moonshine sweat, Hatfields & McCoys transcends the confines of its age by revealing the feud 's posturing, resentments and callous violence that mirror the dynamics of modern urban gangs... It is n't a perfect piece -- when faced with a choice between historic detail and story, Hatfields & McCoys errs on the side of detail, which is both the series ' greatest strength and weakness. '' Among the negative critics was Verne Gay of Newsday who called the series `` violent and dull '', adding : `` What 's not to like about Hatfields & McCoys ? Simple : the story. It 's an uninteresting one, peopled with almost criminally bland characters. In fact, as portrayed here -- quite possibly accurately -- they 're a bunch of bibulous knuckleheads who shoot at each other year after year -- or on TV, hour after hour -- and have no real idea why. It 's an interminable eye - for - eye, tooth - for - tooth narrative. '' Washington Post 's Hank Stuever also gave a negative review : `` The point of the entire saga, it seems, is to make you lose track of what the feudin ' was about, and how it managed to burn out of control. It will always be tempting to view their story through any modern analogy of one 's choosing -- such as partisan political stalemates or the red - blue socioeconomic divide. But maybe the story of the Hatfields and McCoys does n't amount to anything at all. Maybe, since it also does n't make much of miniseries, it was meant to be a footnote and nothing more.
