    There’s doubtless some dramatic license here. No matter. It’s a classic campfire story, from a land that truly was the Wild West.

    The action is so saddled with laughable dialogue and dreadful pacing that not even Paxton's always entertaining scene-chewing can make this inherently interesting tale pop as it should. [29 May/5 Jun 2015, p.98]

    Texas Rising doesn’t have the urgency of “Hatfields vs. McCoys,” but Texas enthusiasts will enjoy the blow-by-blow reenactments of a crucial period in American history.

The first episode appeared really disjointed with terrible attention to character development. Who are all these characters supposed to be anyways? The real downside, however, is that the set appears to be right out of the old Cisco Kid episodes with mesas and huge boulders all over the place. I live in South Texas and there is no region close to here that that has this scenario. They should have filmed in Hill Country and been done with it instead of cutting a deal with the Sinaloa cartel in Durango. Shame on the producers and writers!!… Full Review »

I live in south Texas and there are no canyons down here and to add insult to injury there are no mountains in Goliad.

The exactExactly what I thought it would be, a hodgepodge of vilification and biased standpoints based on history written by the winners. The exact slant view on the subject displayed with big action stunts to keep you entertained but extremely limited in depth and supported weakly by bland dialogue. I think they had to dumb down the performance capabilities of such talented actors, I mean c'mon Brendan Frasier looks and sounds like he's suffering from some bowel disorder, and these fresh faces painted to look weathered and winded Texans fall flat like a buttermilk pancake. I don't buy it and they shouldn't be selling it. The action sequences come off too sharp and timely, and the drama has no sincerity to it, its like watching divorced couples date again; it doesn't feel right. It was a boring premier with quick flash in the pants with young boys playing cowboy in an pristine Mexican landscape with a story line that is grossly off-the-fact to Texas history. I don't expect to follow past episode 2 if that.… Full Review »
