Intriguing premise, but falls short of the mark.

I had high hopes for this because there just aren't any spaghetti western **series** out there, and it's such a fun genre. The broad strokes of the story had the potential to make this a modern western classic, but they stumbled when it came to the details which would rip me from being immersed and make me think of things I shouldn't be thinking about.

Most of the characters and casting were just OK, but there were some standouts. The gang of baddies were more fun to watch than the actual leads, but Anderson really stole the show.

[spoiler] Leaving this as a cliffhanger was a real overreach. Cliffhangers are for series that are so good that you have no choice but to yearn for the the next season. This isn't that. The only chance this show had was to tie off this season with a rewarding ending, then maybe people would come back in the hopes of another satisfying payoff in season 2. I don't see myself returning for more of the same.[/spoiler]

I despise giving this a low rating because it will likely be misinterpreted as a knock against the genre, but the script itself is the offender. I rate this a 6.5, but will round up instead of down in hopes that they will write more in the future.
