That Dirty Black Bag

It is a western ! And it is a good western - it has dominick cooper !! I thought every show and movie these days could only take place in a "universe" where people where capes. Between this show and 1883, i am hoping that westerns get a little more love. I am so sick of the super hero stuff. Its been going on for a decade now. It has been nothing but wonky cgi generated super hero's doing wonky super hero things via bad cgi and vfx. Burnt out. Give us more content like this please ! Good stuff ! Now, put your head in my sac.

I just watched season one and I was blown away at the main story as well as the characters back stories. There is so much that can be done with the show. Excitedly waiting for season 2.i was taken back by some of the deaths but I recovered to finish the story. It's wonderfully shot and I do feel like the time period is accurately captured by the director. Very graphic so be prepared, also some triggering moments. The actors did well and their development was done at a great pace. Tony Stark's dad is always a good watch for me. I liked him in preacher as well. I'm currently looking for when season two will make it's debut.

Hmm, the people who like it, really like it and the people who dislike it really dislike it, quite a quandary. My take is thus. If you read up on the show before hand the description is completely apt. Over the last 20 years many western fans have lamented that the genre was a dead horse, so this group have given you exactly what you want ie: Gratuitous Bloody Violence, killings galore, pretty prostitutes, forlorn farmers, evil land Barons, Corrupt officials etc... Lots of viewers use Eastwoods spaghetti westerns as the benchmark but that's unfair to this gem in that it is far more Italian, in the vain of Sabata or A pistol for Ringo or A bullet for the General. It's full of deceit, manipulation and a really weird one episode side story that just made it more intriguing for me.👍👍

This is a strange one that keeps you on your toes from episode to episode.

Gets you hooked once you start A cross between Quentin Tarantino And a spaghetti western.

That Dirty Black Bag is a dark, sometimes violent but we'll written and acted western that pays homage to the classic spagetti westerns of the 60s with Clint Eastwood, Lee van Cleef and a host of well known actors of the time. Not only is it filmed in the province of Almeria, Spain (near Tabernas) with its stark, dry, desolate landscape, but it has overtones of Quentin Tarantino's dramatic, violent, oversized red credits style similar to what we saw in The Hateful 8. But more importantly it's a nod to the great director Sergio Leone who pioneered the good vs evil western with closeups of the cool, calculating and terror-filled faces with rousing academy award winning music by Ennio Moricone. We see hints of Sergio's directing style throughout the series but especially in episode 8 "The Great Duel" which is so reminiscent of the final scenes of The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly replete with a cemetery, wide angle POV followed by angst-ridden closeups of the gunslingers as they prepare to shoot em' up. To make it even more interesting the evil protagonist is of Italian descent and of course the crew is 95% Spanish. As I write this there are few ratings for the last few episodes but I expect this series to be a sleeper, and fan reviews will come out soon with headlines like "the best western you missed" or that you should see... Definitely in the 8 area of IMDB...
