a review of lonesome dove: the series...
i love westerns and try to see as many as i can. i loved the various lonesome dove miniseries but i never knew there was a tv series until i came across the dvd sets and picked them up. the first season is very different from the second season but this entire show is addictive viewing. i started with the first season a few weeks ago and i'm currently making my way through the outlaw years. season one contains 21 episodes and takes place immediately following return to lonesome dove as newt rides off to find his own dream and comes to the town of curtis wells. captain woodrow call also makes an appearance in season one. the second season is the outlaw years and it contains 22 episodes that reminded me of the grimness of the streets of laredo book and movie and it greatly captures the grit of the old west. the events that transpire at the end of season one and continue into season two are gut wrenching. as a lifelong western fan i'm very pleased with the dvd sets of both seasons of this series.
