Lonesome Dove: The Series

I had been a fan, or at least deeply affected by, both the first season of Lonesome Dove: The Series, and especially the second season LD: The Outlaw Years. Not only did this series have real potential, it also had great depth in the story telling. There is a deep morality exhibited in the unfolding of the story without having to be lectured about it as it is done in The Rifleman. Not that there is anything wrong in the teaching of young minds about right and wrong and to help them understand and navigate it. 

What Lonesome Dove: The Series and The Outlaw Years accomplished was to show how those lessons had become internalized and exemplified in the life and character of Newt Call.
