This was epic. The actors were amazing. The writing was outstanding. Everything fell into place and seemed as if you were there, with them at that time.

I just finished watching this again for the umpteenth time. It never fails to make me cry and smile. It's a terrific ride. My favorite parts are IV and then I. Duvall and Jones give their absolute best, and the moments with them, whether together or individually, are captivating. Lane, Glover, and the rest of the cast also do very well. The music shouldn't be overlooked. The recurring main theme is memorable and stirs the emotions. Something often done poorly in westerns is Hollywood actors trying to sound country. I don't hear any of that in Lonesome Dove. Particularly, Duvall and Jones come across just like the farmers and cowboys I've been around my whole life here in Texas. Thankfully, this production predates the overwhelming injection of liberal ideology into every single media, so there's a balanced, normal presentation of the Indians, a proper view of how crime should be handled, and so forth. You will not regret watching this. It may be the best western ever made.

Awesome! One of the best westerns ever made.

My favorite movie of all time. Yes, it is slow, however, there are so many great characters and stories but the lines out of this show were delivered with perfection.

A classic book and a very good series.

This series got better as it moves along. However, I'm at a loss why it got such high ratings. Plot was slow. Acting was good with Duvall & Jones making the movie as good as it can get.

My favourite western!! :)
-
Certainly one of the best westerns ever, with a great cast and stellar performances by all, and an absolute must for any fan of the book.
-
A classic that stands the test of time. You'll be hard-pressed to not know every line by heart. This is one of the most quotable pieces of television I've ever seen.

One of the best miniseries I have ever seen. The casting was superb! Hard not to binge watch this terrific Western saga featuring Tommie Lee Jones and Robert Duvall, two former Texas Rangers, as they have multiple adventures driving cattle north into unexplored territory.
