A TV show adaptation of the Philipp Meyer novel of the same name, The Son is a Texas period drama that follows three generations of the McCullough family. The series features the metamorphosis of Eli McCullough (Brosnan).

The family patriarch, Eli, changes over the years from an affable innocent into a conniving killer. After losing everything on the wild frontier, Eli resolves to build a lasting ranching and oil dynasty and, in time, grows exceedingly wealthy.

The Son series finale makes a small revision to a tall tale to create a myth worthy of "The Legend."

The Son Season 2 Episode 10

The Son, season 2, episode 10, "The Legend," concludes the series' run with the birth of a border town mythology and the lessons learned from the sins of a father. The great state, and former republic, of Texas is a land of tall tales. Last week's episode, "The Bear," included a version of the ultimate fate which befell Eli McCullough, leading the audience to a false conclusion. Oh, we doubted the accuracy, how could anyone know what was going through Eli's mind in his last hours facing off against the biggest bear in a state where bears are scarce. But we ultimately buy it. It's Texas, and it is a large enough story to give us a sense of comforting closure.

Eli McCullough moves all the pieces into place as The Son prepares for the conclusion of the series end game.

The Son Season 2 Episode 9

The penultimate installment of The Son, season 2, episode 9, "The Bear," readies the series for a somewhat forgone conclusion. But the closure is coming like a set of pincers squeezing several wounds at once, and not all of them healing. All three generations of McCullough are in danger of facing change and loss of fortune.  All three face choices which alter their comfort, even as they move out of their comfort zones.

The episode centers, emotionally, on Jeannie McCullough (Sydney Lucas). Last week, she witnessed her mother cheating on her father with their son's music teacher. The young McCullough ran away from home to escape a lying family only to barely escape a back road rape from a travelling salesman.

The Son Season 2 Episode 8

The Son, season 2, episode 8, "All Their Guilty Stains," gives us something of a breather after a run of intensely perilous episodes. This is not to say it is lacking in danger or intensity, but it doesn't have the immediacy of the running buildup. The series loses a major character, which we knew was coming, but even this is something of a respite from the intensity of the past few weeks.

The episode opens on Sally McCullough (Jess Weixler) humming to herself while her son takes a piano lesson in another room. She loses patience and tells her son, out of the blue, to clean his room because the lesson is over. This has been building over the past few episodes. Sally's under a lot of stress,...

The Son Season 2 Episode 6

In The Son, season 2, episode 6, "The Blue Light," flirts with surrealism as legal woes and societal norms take their toll on the usually steadfast First Son of Texas. Eli McCullough (Pierce Brosnan) shows the first cracks in the armor which has protected him his whole life. His many lives, if you count how many times he's survived seemingly insurmountable wounds. The episode shows he's not as self-sufficient as he's let on. A stronger force has been propping him up since his days as a Comanche, and it is sobering to see Eli so nakedly needy. Although, not quite sobering enough.

In The Son, season 2, episode 5, "Hot Oil," may be the best of the year. It is the most enjoyable so far. It is also the most suspenseful. We can tell we're on the verge of a catharsis we're relieved to sidestep. The episode opens in a dream sequence Eli McCullough (Pierce Brosnan) is having where his young self (Jacob Lofland) is being successfully strangled by his current rival, María García (Paola Núñez). This is the first fantasia we've witnessed from Eli where imagines himself as the victim. Usually when the patriarch of the McCullough family is fantasizing, he is the victimizer. This dream is the first to shake that faith. It is also prophetic, as the first thing Eli has to deal...

In The Son, season 2, episode 4, "Scalped a Dog," begins with some bad medicine in the 1850s timeline. A white surveyor is looking at the area by the Mexican border to gather intelligence for a fort which will be built. Fat Wolf (Glenn Stanton), the chief of the Yap Eaters band of Comanches has a zero tolerance policy for whites near the camp. His father, Toshaway (Zahn McClarnon), who is the chief of the Buffalo Eaters band of Comanches, suggests restraint. Fathers and sons have interesting and challenging relationships on The Son. They are as much rivals as they are generational heirs. Power is a fight, and the battles sometimes pit families against each other in unexpected ways.

The Son Season 2 Episode 3

In The Son, season 2, episode 3, "The Blind Tiger," gets downright Biblical. In the beginning, we see the slaughter of livestock which Pete (Henry Garrett) himself says looks like something out of the Old Testament, and the follow-up scene sets up a scenario borrowed from The Prodigal Son. When it comes to the sons of the First Son of Texas, this kind of roundup could result in a Cain and Abel solution.

Eli McCullough may run his household, and Pierce Brosnan may reign supreme over the series itself, but every character is expertly drawn and the sibling rivalry is fascinating. Phineas (David Wilson Barnes) and Pete respect, admire and like each other. Pete really did take the prodigal son route, heading south with María García (Paola Núñez...

Is the second and final season of The Son TV show on AMC a proper send-off for the series? As we know, the Nielsen ratings typically play a big role in determining whether a TV show like The Son is cancelled or renewed for season three. Unfortunately, most of us do not live in Nielsen households. Because of that, many viewers are frustrated their viewing habits and opinions weren't considered, before AMC cancelled The Son, which ends after season two. We care what you think, so we invite you to rate all of The Son season two episodes for us here.

The Son Season 2 Episode 2

In The Son, season 2, episode 2, "Ten Dollars and a Plucked Goose," the McCulloughs serve up a Christmas feast and the jackals show up. The family is well known in the town. The story of the First Son of Texas, the Colonel, is already becoming local myth, at odds with the realities behind it.

The opening sequence is fraught with contradictions. Eli McCullough (Pierce Brosnan) tells a gathered crowd how happy he is that his son, Pete (Henry Garrett), is home safe after fighting so bravely against enemies of the area. Pete wriggles around uncomfortably. We know it's not just that he's humble. He's got secrets. Everyone on The Son has secrets, but his are glaringly close to the surface.

What's in store for the final season of The Son? Recently, star Pierce Brosnan spoke with TVInsider about the AMC TV show's second and last season.

It is a muted reunion, given the circumstances.

AMC’s martial arts drama Into the Badlands will end after the upcoming final eight episodes of its third season, which will debut March 24. The network also has set an April 24 premiere date for Season 2 of drama The Son, starring Pierce Brosnan, which will be its last.

Neither cancellation is particularly surprising. Both Into the Bandlands and The Son were renewed for Season 3 and Season 2, respectively, almost two years ago. Into the Badlands’ 16-episode third season was completed awhile ago, the cast was released, and a number of them have taken on new acting gigs. As for The Son, as a Western, it did draw respectable viewership though it was old-skewing. Additionally, I hear star Brosnon only had signed a short-term contract which is the case with many movie stars who do TV series these days.

Warning: contains spoilers.

Loss builds resolve. At least that seems to be the main message in AMC’s latest drama The Son, in its debut episode. Opening in 1849 with a focus on a young Eli McCullough, the central protagonist who will grow into the fine form of a bearded Pierce Brosnan, we see him taking up mantle of ‘man of the house’, hunting and showing a large amount of self-assurance. However, it’s not long before his youthful belligerence, and a need to defend his home from invading Comanche, has resulted in his mother and sister being raped and killed, with his surviving brother soon being run through by a spear, leaving him as the sole surviving son.

Pierce Brosnan returns to the small screen, and we couldn't be more excited!

While he might not have the best Texas accent we've ever heard, Brosnan still delivers a powerful performance as the older Eli McCullough, who is at the center of this compelling new western drama.

The Son Season 1 Episode 1 and The Son Season 1 Episode 2 introduce us to McCullough in two separate timelines. In them, we learn how the young man who survived a Comanche Indian attack becomes a ruthless cattle baron later in life.

Jacob Lofland is just as powerful as young Eli, as the two timelines converge to give us a clear picture of a man who only wants to protect what's rightfully his.

We are first introduced to Eli as a young man hunting for food for his family while his father is out of town. The family comes under attack by Comanche Indians and his mother and sister are killed.

One episode was provided prior to broadcast.

Even the most casual western fans know that the genre has lost quite a bit of its lustre over recent decades, at least when it comes to stories that revisit much of the same material covering the 19th Century – frontiers, Indians, cowboys, railroads, and all the usual greatest hits. More recently, the modern western has been at the forefront of cinema and well-realized through relevant epics like last year’s Hell or High Water. In the same way that film starring Jeff Bridges managed to closely inspect the fallout of race relations in West Texas, AMC’s The Son attempts to do the same during the period in between the mid-19th Century and the early 20th, mantled by a frontier on the cusp of the industrial age.

Pierce Brosnan has a tense father-son confrontation in the new AMC drama “The Son.” In this exclusive clip (above), Brosnan’s Eli McCullough takes actions that are called into question by his son, Pete (Henry Garrett). The ten-episode, one-hour drama traces the transformation of Eli, the patriarch of the McCullough clan, from good-natured innocent to calculating killer. He loses everything on the wild frontier, setting him on the path to building a ranching-and-oil dynasty of unsurpassed wealth and privilege. The series explores how Eli’s ruthlessness and quest for power triggers consequences that span generations, as the McCulloughs’ rise to become one the.

The last time we saw Pierce Brosnan on a television series was on Remington Steele. This time around instead of playing a detective, he plays the patriarch of the McCullough clan, a Texas family rich in the oil and cattle business.

The series is based on Philipp Meyer's 2013 novel of the same name. If focuses on Eli's life as a young boy growing up in 1849 and as an adult in 1915. It wasn't an easy road for Eli and he'll do anything to protect what he worked so hard and suffered for, no matter the consequences.

Like any television family saga, this epic western is full of drama and intrigue and should definitely be on your must-watch list. Plus, did we mention it stars Pierce Brosnan?

“The Son,” aptly, is the story of sons. While one could argue it should’ve then been called “The Sons,” the title of Philipp Meyer, Lee Shipman, and Brian McGreevy’s new AMC series almost feels like an invitation to pick one of the many featured sons, and that’s the one you’ll care about. Even if this is the case, the main protagonist, Eli McCullough — who’s more than likely the titular “Son” — is flawed not only in character, but also in concept. So the many scenes devoted to both the young and old versions of him hamper any enjoyment in the other intriguing characters and makes the first two episodes a bit of a slog.

Primarily focusing on two defining time periods in Eli’s life — set during 1849 and 1915 — the hour-long western incorporates at least three additional sons into the narrative. We meet Young Eli (Jacob Lofland...

As revealed by the many explosions, gunfire, and one possible scalping (can’t have a western with at least One scalping), the 10-episode hour-long drama aims to deliver on that tagline.
