@Fairlane67 Wow, I'm disappointed! I forgot to dvr it but I was so excited about it. I'm sad!

I watched night 1, tried again last night...couldn't finish it. Lonesome Dove it is not.

@West-tex We were looking forward to it, too. I am still going to give it a whirl.

Yea. Hearing the same thing over fb. Shame.

Was it really that bad? I DVR it and was looking forward to watching it.

I just watched 1/2 of the first episode. It was filmed in Durango, Mexico, so that has to pass for San Antonio, Goliad, Houston, etc. It looks too much like far west Texas, but will be passable for Yankee viewers. I think the actors and director spent too much time faking the Texas accent and it is a bit distracting and interferes with the natural flow--directing error. Bill Paxton sounds like he's reading from cue cards, but he has in everything I've ever seen him in....bless his heart. Overall, I give it a C+ and will keep watching it. I'll give it a B- if in the next episode Brendan Fraser takes his shirt off and looks like he did in George of the Jungle.

@Sammee

@West-tex He looked good. Am I right??

I agree, we could not get through the first episode.
I 2nd George of the Jungle....beefcakes!
