Texas Rising - Season 1
Description
The story of how the Texas Rangers were created. In 1836, west of the Mississippi was considered the Wild West and the Texas frontier was viewed as hell on earth. But this was a time of bravery, a time to die for what you believed in and a time to stand tall against the cruel rule of the Mexican General Santa Anna. At the end, the Texas flags stood tall and victorious, claiming a piece of history for all eternity.

The cardinal sin of Texas Rising is that it is just dreadfully boring. There is a whole lot of talking but next to no doing. A handful of conflicts are over too soon and too small in scope for an epic production such as this.

"Follow me a little longer along this bloody, twisted road," says Sam Houston at the end of the second night. You could hear that as a plea directed at viewers. I'm not sure it's gonna work, Sam.

I know the miniseries is set in the 1830s, but aren't we at the point now, in the 2010s, when we no longer want to see history reduced to offensive stereotypes and simplistic good versus bad morality?

In the end, this messy Texas tale will likely prompt viewers to forget about watching long before the Alamo is avenged.
