Billy the Kid

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.

I have watched all three seasons and this is a great show. Although Billy seems to have lived where he actually died, and to have shot and killed Pat Garrett when that never actually happened. Overall a great show just takes a few liberties with the actual story. Call it the story we wish were true.

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.

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.

If you are looking for a good western, look no further. This is not only entertaining, but if you do the homework you'll find it is mostly historical fiction. The characters and events of this show are based on true facts and it was a bit of ? As to why the creators weren't marketing this more. They did take the time to duplicate almost all the known facts of Billy and weave them into a heck of a story. We watch Billy grow from a young boy to one of the most notorious outlaws in the American West. Billy the Kid...Anti-Hero. Well done all around and absolutely worth the time, double up on your go-to speed if you're a fan of Westerns and/or historical fiction.
