I'm doing something I rarely ever do: I'm writing a review of a limited series (documentary, in this case) after just the first of three episodes. Why? Because the installments are each by a different Texas director, and the first is one of my favorite directors of recent decades, Richard Linklater, with whose work I am very intimately familiar (from 1993's Dazed and Confused to 2014's Boyhood). He grew up with a strong, single Mom in the prison town of Huntsville, Texas, in which more condemned inmates have been executed than any other town anywhere in these United States. About which many Texans still enamored with frontier justice would say, "Hail and Bravo!" Others explain that humans don't get to play God with the lives of other humans on Earth! Whatever you may believe, it's fascinating stuff. I'll return to update this post once I've seen it all.
