This shit is very good, Pat Garrett did not run with the gang though. That part is bullshit, he knew Billy the Kid, but not like it is portrayed here.
The other shit is pretty accurate. Billy the Kid only killed like 6 or 7 people though, but it was in a very short period of time.
Thanks for the extra info.
We're gonna pick up with episode 2 early next week, and also catch the season 3 finale for Barry, and the first few eps of Dark Winds (debuts today).

another old show i`m catching up on ...Robb Stark from GOT is the lead actor ...
man the 1st 20 mins of ep1 was intense as fuck ..shit grabs u right away ...
this show was really well done ...had some slow moments but even the slow moments still kept u engaged ...
easy watch also only 6 episodes ...i`m on ep 5 i had to take a break to write this preview ..
spoiler ...so dont watch if u dont wanna know ...
but this sniper scene was so dope i had to rewind and watch 3 times ....
oh if u give it a watch let me know how u feel about tht opening train scene in ep 1 ...
Listen..ANY BBC Crime drama short run is really good.... Check out Fear Index.... another good short series run.... no spoilers lol...
Season 3 finale is tonight.
Again, that chase scene from earlier this season. And the last clip below is how they left off episode 7 with Albert and Fuches (great scene).
Going to start watching Hacks and Severance this week
Gaslit on Starz . This series felt more like watching short films than a Cable TV series. Great score and disturbing moments. Some facts about Watergate I didn't know were eye opening and beyond sinister. Even the "heroes " of one of the biggest scandals in history never got the recognition they deserved.

Let us know what you think of Hacks, JBlaze.
Still need to watch Severance here too.
Thanks for your take on Gaslit. Haven't heard the podcasters & media critics reviewing it as much, despite the co-leads' star power.
Enjoying the Billy the Kid series. 2 episodes in so far.
Finished the season 3 finale for Barry. Wasn't the strongest finale, but did think the cliffhanger was effective. We'll see how season 4 plays out (probably in 2023).
Checked out the first 2 episodes of Dark Winds ... good stuff ... definitely recommend it. Just the right amount of mystery, suspense, and tension. Good assortment of cast members.
Still need to circle back to season 2 of The Wilds. Still about 3 episodes into that one, and but haven't watched for a few weeks.

Should have been at least 2 or 3 lions.
The Sci Fi shows were great this week
Star Trek Strange New Worlds and Obi Wan Kenobi each had great displays raw emotion, betrayal, and intensity.
Star Trek Strange New Worlds episode 6 really showed how you can't save everyone and you can't change someone no matter how much you love them and vice versa. Pretty harrowing and emotional conclusion to the episode. Show gets better every week.
Obi Wan Kenobi gave me what I wanted this week even though I would have liked another 20 minutes. Plus there were some inconsistencies. Darth Vader at the height of his powers. More reflecting on his time as Anakin Skywalker and training with Kenobi and his connection to Reva.Ingrams acting actually improved in portions of this episode. I hope the conclusion is 90 minutes.
