A charismatic, brilliant schemer leads two different lives in two different parts of Texas. In Houston, he goes by Bob Allen and is married to Cat, part of a wealthy oil family. More than 400 miles away, in Midland, he's known as Robert and lives with naive girlfriend Lindsay. Bob's motive is to become part of the oil family with the goal of eventually cleaning it out. But when he fears his secret lives may unravel, Bob puts everything on the line in an attempt to keep his two separate relationships afloat.

Mary McNamara Los Angeles Times 06/05/2020
Well, creator Kyle Killen and executive producers Amy Lippman and Christopher Keyser... are betting that the callow charm of their leading man... will overcome the ridiculousness of the setup. Go to Full Review Linda Holmes NPR.org 06/05/2020
Like most worthwhile endeavors, it's ambitious and it'll be hard to pull off in some ways... but the pilot is a well-written, well-shot, exceptionally well-acted hour of television. Go to Full Review Emily St. James AV Club 06/05/2020

[T]his is as close to a pilot that doesn't miss a step as network TV gets. This is bold television making that doesn't hesitate to aim high for things that it might not pull off, that realizes that if it's going to flop, it may as well flop spectacularly.

It's a scenario that could easily be played out in a silly, soapy manner, which is why I am happy to say that Lone Star is instead the best network pilot this fall. Go to Full Review Boston Herald Staff Boston Herald 06/05/2020
"Lone Star," created and written by Kyle Killen, centers on a con man who lives a double life - with two beautiful women - and is so full of plot holes you could drive a motorcade through it with a parade of elephants behind. Go to Full Review Columbus Alive Staff Columbus Alive 06/05/2020
Fox's "Lone Star" has so many good things going for it that it'll either change the landscape of network television or get canceled in its first season. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
