Supelice Dreadfully Boring

Organnall Too much about the plot just didn't add up, the writing was bad, some of the scenes were cringey and awkward,

KnotStronger This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

Keira Brennan The movie is made so realistic it has a lot of that WoW feeling at the right moments and never tooo over the top. the suspense is done so well and the emotion is felt. Very well put together with the music and all.

nvfone Yes, there's violence in The Son, but it's not gratuitous and all of it is within the context of the story - a very human story that treats most of its characters fairly and without cliche. The thing I liked best was the view into Comanche culture. That was particularly well-done and a welcome counter to the heritage of "Lonesome Dove" (which, of course I love but it never attempted to do justice to the Comanches). This is WAY better than AMC's "Hell on Wheels" and I'm looking forward to the season 2. Pierce Brosnan does a terrific job, btw, even if there's no way he's 80 years old.

3698s . I really did not want to become involved in another AMC show. However since Hell on Wheels finished its run and enjoying Westerns I decided to give The Son a chance. This is an excellent western well written and acted. Pierce Brosnan and cast are outstanding. Although the western frontier was considered "closed" in 1890 there seems to be issues that need to be settled even in 1915. I look forward to seeing how this series goes forward. Although Gunsmoke & earlier TV westerns were good drama The Son takes the Western to another level. At times brutal unflinching and unvarnished The Son probably presents a better idea of what the old West was really like. I enjoy the juxtaposition shown between the young Eli and the 1915 Eli. This isn't Dallas and with all due respect to the late Larry Hagman as good as he was in the role of JR Ewing, Pierce Brosnan's Eli would give JR a real run for the money.

cpena-18690 I love the show, but I'm confused about the title - The Son. The title implies that Eli was born the year Texas became a state. Texas entered the Union in 1845. That would make Eli three years old when his character was introduced in Episode One (1848). Clearly he appeared older than three. What was probably meant was that Eli was born the year Texas won its independence from Mexico in 1836. In that case, Eli would be twelve years old when his character was introduced in Episode One. Young Eli did look about that age. A suburb show, nevertheless.

Michael Weerasinghe Unless "young Eli" is actually Eli's father I can't see the time-line fitting? Did they just think the viewers would not give a #¤%# that Pierce Brosnan is playing the world's fittest 80 year old. If you were lucky enough to reach 80 years of age in 1915's cattle ranch Texas you wouldn't look like Brosnan's 63 going on 55.Hope it get's better, the bones are there!
