Billy the Kid

The show is phenomenal! Do not listen to the bad reviews. I repeat do not listen to the bad reviews. This is a good adaptation to the Billy the Kid story. There is lots of controversy about what really happened to Billy the Kid. Some say he was killed by Pat Garrett and others say him Pat Garrett and other officials made a deal with Billy the Kid and basically faked his death. So the writers can pretty much go in any direction they want to with this show. And it is extremely well written and extremely well acted. I am blown away by the show. I rank it up there with 1921 and Yellowstone. It's that good! It might even be better in its own right. Do yourself a favor and watch this series. You will not be disappointed. Thank you MGM! And please give us a season 3!

A lot of accurate story reeling and some really small details that you don't often see or read about. But also a lot of artist. License and story that doesn't need to be there in my opinion.

And if you're going to add some of these details that we don't see in other films it be great if they were as accurate as lisps pile instead of changing characters. And adding in some characters feels totally unnecessary:

I get using artistic license and that some parts of the story have numerous versions. Just wish the most accepted version was represented here.

Overall set and costume design are great and the acting is pretty good though the dialogue is a bit off feeling sometimes.

Worth viewing but a bit frustrating.

Billy The Kid really puts into perspective that things aren't as black and white as they are portrayed. It begs the question: is Billy The Kid really a good person? Tom Blyth's performance as Billy The Kid really captures the essence of his character well. You can see just how remorseful Kid Antrim is for the things he's done. Daniel Webber and the guy who played Henry Antrim did a fantastic job at making me angry. It sucks that they left us on such a cliffhanger with the reintroduction of Pat Garrett and I'm so excited for the rest of season 2. A lot of people say that it fell short with the historical aspect of things and I agree there but all in all, it's an entertaining and intriguing show about the life of a famous outlaw, Billy The Kid.

The series has been entertaining and enjoyable. From the scenery to the acting, everything was done well. Similar story to the Young Guns movie in a positive way. Only negative, the session 2 mid break. It's an 8 episode series and they take how many months off after only 4 episodes. Hopefully they at least finish season 2 before summer but like Yellowstone, these "mid season" breaks are another example of corporate greed. Please don't mention the writers strike as that's simply more greed. They are all guilty of the greed. Glad i binged this because I'm done giving these streaming providers more money!

Had I not seen the advertisement on television for this series I would not have watched it, but I am on season one episode eight and it's great. It is hard to do set design for an old western let alone two seasons, with multiple episodes shot at different locations to take place in New Mexico, Kansas, Mexico, etc. And they have done a very good job, the acting is really good, the storyline is good even if you think you know the William Bonnie story, there's a slant to this, that I won't divulge, but it has peaked my interest enough for me to now be looking for the correct book to read with the supposed most accurate details.
