Lone Star (2010)
5/10
not rooting for the character
5 November 2024
Bob Allen (James Wolk) is a con man who learned from his father John Allen (David Keith). He is married to Cat Thatcher (Adrianne Palicki) and gaining the trust of her oil tycoon father Clint Thatcher (Jon Voight). He is starting to have doubts. He has to walk away from his girlfriend Lindsay Holloway (Eloise Mumford) as his victim closes in on him.

I remember this show. I may have seen the first episode or even both before it got canceled after only two episodes. This Fox show gained some critical support, but no public support. The audience is simply not there. Why? I can see critics liking this for being different. They watch so much TV that sometimes they appreciate a different type of show. For me, I could not root for Bob Allen. I don't like his personality or his thinking. I don't see a way out for him. Imagine ten years from now. I don't see it happening. It's most likely that his father steal a bunch of money. Father and son have a fight. The son would probably end up in prison for polygamy. I simply don't understand his thinking or lack of thinking.
