Billy the Kid

If you are looking for a good western, look no further. This is not only entertaining, but if you do the homework you'll find it is mostly historical fiction. The characters and events of this show are based on true facts and it was a bit of ? As to why the creators weren't marketing this more. They did take the time to duplicate almost all the known facts of Billy and weave them into a heck of a story. We watch Billy grow from a young boy to one of the most notorious outlaws in the American West. Billy the Kid...Anti-Hero. Well done all around and absolutely worth the time, double up on your go-to speed if you're a fan of Westerns and/or historical fiction.

Billy the Kid is obviously a series based on the infamous outlaw, William H. Bonney a.k.a. Billy the Kid. This series tries to give you a fresh take on Billy's story, it shows him as more of the good guy than the gunslinging outlaw we all know him as. They actually make Billy into a sympathetic figure. Listen, Emilio Estevez from Young Guns will always be my favorite Billy the Kid but Tom Blyth does a really good job here as Billy. Daniel Weber also does a great job as Jesse Evans. The way they show their close friendship and how they ended up on different sides is worth watching. The first season is mostly an origin story of how William H. Bonney became the outlaw Billy the kid. The second season is so full of action and story it's hard to stop watching.

I just finished Season 2 of Billy the Kid and was entertained throughout the entire series so far. This series takes a few episodes to really get going but once it did I binged right through it. So if you didn't enjoy the first couple episodes just stay with...it's worth it. I'm glad MGM+ renewed this because there is so much to Billy the Kid that one season wasn't enough. They could even go several more seasons with all the material on him that's out there. The actor who plays Billy is Tom Blyth and he gives one of the best Billy the Kid performances I've ever seen. Blyth also just starred in The Hunger Games prequel and has a very bright future in Hollywood. I have to admit that I'm a big fan of westerns so I'd probably enjoy this no matter what but it really is a solid show that I think most people will enjoy.

The first 3 eps kept my attention, not sure how authentic it is but I like it so far. The lead actor is doing a good job, let's see where it goes! I disagree with all the negativity on here.

Billy The Kid really puts into perspective that things aren't as black and white as they are portrayed. It begs the question: is Billy The Kid really a good person? Tom Blyth's performance as Billy The Kid really captures the essence of his character well. You can see just how remorseful Kid Antrim is for the things he's done. Daniel Webber and the guy who played Henry Antrim did a fantastic job at making me angry. It sucks that they left us on such a cliffhanger with the reintroduction of Pat Garrett and I'm so excited for the rest of season 2. A lot of people say that it fell short with the historical aspect of things and I agree there but all in all, it's an entertaining and intriguing show about the life of a famous outlaw, Billy The Kid.
