That Dirty Black Bag

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.

Hmm, the people who like it, really like it and the people who dislike it really dislike it, quite a quandary. My take is thus. If you read up on the show before hand the description is completely apt. Over the last 20 years many western fans have lamented that the genre was a dead horse, so this group have given you exactly what you want ie: Gratuitous Bloody Violence, killings galore, pretty prostitutes, forlorn farmers, evil land Barons, Corrupt officials etc... Lots of viewers use Eastwoods spaghetti westerns as the benchmark but that's unfair to this gem in that it is far more Italian, in the vain of Sabata or A pistol for Ringo or A bullet for the General. It's full of deceit, manipulation and a really weird one episode side story that just made it more intriguing for me.👍👍

I'm a fan of the old spaghetti Westerns and enjoyed watching this one. I found myself anxious to see what happens next after each episode and hope AMC does a season 2!

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.

Spaghetti Western? Yep. Made in Spain instead of Italy. Dark western. Yep. Arty film? Yep. Great cast? Absolutely. Shock factor for shock factor value only. Yep. Blood and guts? TONS of it! Good writing? Not sure. I have no idea what the story line is - other than a town filled with very angry people and some religious ones too. But a story. Haven't found it yet. Black bag and all. Visually: Absolutely stunning.

Even the music is reminiscent of another series, but I'll be darned if I can remember which one. Makin' me nuts! Like this series!

Once you think you have it figured it out - you don't. Now I'm conflicted. Should I call this a spoiler? I doubt it. If you stick with this series - you know what you're in for much sooner than later. And you'll be reminded very often.
