That Dirty Black Bag

I wrote a "preliminary review" as I watched the first episode. Having finished the first season's 8 episodes now, I'd have to say it met my expectations and more. The cinematography and acting are superb. A very interesting cast of characters played with great finesse by top-notch actors. It is set somewhere in the Old West, but it's beyond the usual spaghetti Westerns by being more mythic and somewhat "supernatural." If there's a downside, that I'm sure some viewers will not like, it's that the the symbolism and hysterical motivations are kind of far-fetched. But as I said before, the "Mad Max" series was also far-fetched but due to being a fantasy of a dystopian world.

This is for sure a dystopian "Old West," extremely grim and violent. Reminds me of Cormac McCarthy's famous trilogy. If violence gives you the flibberty-gibbets, then don't watch it. I won't comment about the finale except to say that the following seasons are going to be made or broken by how that turns out.

Just completed season 1.

This is a very solid western, it has its usual story lines that you may find familiar if you've seen many westerns. I really like the characters and the backstories - there is a very creepy undertone to the entire series. This TV show has a LOT of potential.

The main takeaways :

• This is definitely worth your time
• The casting and acting is really good (Not to mention they have a seem good budget)
• the first 3 episodes are a tiny bit mundane so the real meat is ep 4 onward
• .As far as westerns goes - this is a action packed one

Happy watching This is my first review ever :)

It's an awesome show, gritty western. Watched first episode, great even pace. Acting is good, I'm hooked & can't wait to see the different characters eventual collision. It's already an explosive beginning...

This is a strange one that keeps you on your toes from episode to episode.

Gets you hooked once you start A cross between Quentin Tarantino And a spaghetti western.

I don't understand the negativity around this series. It has all you want in a western. Just because it's not made in America and is directed by Italians? Get a grip. It's a dark and gory western and keeps you hooked throughout! If you simply enjoy this genre then I very much recommend.
