When we think of the biggest Western television programs of all time, titles like “Gunsmoke” and “Deadwood” will probably start (and rightly). However, a series that has been neglected as the decades took place is the 1989 mini-series “Lonesome Dove”. For any fan of the West who wants to review this epic glory in four parts (or any lucky son of a pistol who can see him for the first time), “Lonesome Dove” is currently in difficulty on Prime Video and Peacock. If you suffocate between streaming services (which is not today?) And don’t have it currently, the series is also available for free on Youtube.

Adapted from the novel of the same name of Larry McMurty, The Miniseries has a legendary list outright: Robert Duvall, Tommy Lee Jones, Diane Lane and Danny Glover compose the main distribution, with names like Chris Cooper, Steve Buscemi and Anjelica Huston (with many other veteran performers) complete the establishment line.
“Lonesome Dove” was an immediate success and shattering during its beginnings. Critics and viewers provided the mini-series with unlimited praise, with the representation of Duvall of Auguste McCrae winning him a Golden Globe. The show as a whole also won the Golden Globe for the best mini-series and accumulated a large column of Emmy victories and appointments. Ignore the word game, but more than 30 years later, “Loneesome Dove” is still visualization of first order required.

What is Lonesome Dove?
“Lonesome Dove” is centered on Augustus McCrae and Woodrow Call (Tommy Lee Jones, whose performance has earned him the Emmy and Golden Globe appointments), a pair of Rangers Retired from Texas who find themselves aspiring to something different, something more. The two may have exceeded their peak, but when an old acquaintance of their peak appears with great stories from Montana, the call for adventure strikes like lightning. And thus begins one of the greatest Western tales ever told.

Again, “Lonesome Dove” is required to visualize for any Western fan. It is an epic mini-series that can stand up even when stacked against the best Western films of all time. So, if you are still in shock from the final of season 2 “of 1923” (and, probably, in series) and need another historic epic of Gunslinging at frenzy? “Lonesome Dove” may not be the only option, but it is certainly the best.
