Little seen, the show is an intriguing riff on the western, even if its bloody excess can be counterproductive. Go to Full Review

2.5/4
That Dirty Black Bag certainly doesn’t lack for gruesome images... but the series is also darkly funny. Go to Full Review
John Anderson Wall Street Journal 03/10/2022
What ultimately makes That Dirty Black Bag both entertaining and intriguing isn’t its adherence to westerns past, but its own tweaks on the genre. Go to Full Review
Glenn Garvin Reason Online 03/11/2022
With the storyline frequently repetitious and almost entirely incomprehensible, it seems that only headhunters and professional sadists will likely manage to maintain long-term interest in That Dirty Black Bag. Go to Full Review

Sam S @Sam561 Aug 28 A great series, fun characters and brutal West facts. Even God is represented See more Wayne P @JPSwede Jul 25 It started off weird and stayed weird. But I like weird lol. It was also VERY slow at times and had a little too many flashbacks. And it had about 3 or 4 episodes too many. But the worst thing was the ending. It was not good at all. Very disappointed because it could have ended much better. Maybe they were counting on another season? See more Gino C @RT66112033 04/04/2025 Kept my interest throughout with great characters. Action, drama and some humor. Thought the ending was poorly done. Too many story lines left unanswered . What was the young girl about to be hooked up at the end all about? See more Ryan T @RT11211990 01/12/2025 Only watched because I assumed it was a short series since it's had 8 episodes from 2022... It's pathetic how they do shows these days, at best you find a good show and have to wait years for a second season See more Andrei D @RT74856639 10/02/2024 Has some solid Western trope moments but too many storythreads and too little in the way of new ideas See more Sharon J @RT67671778 09/22/2024 Loved! Disappointed there is no 2nd season… See more Read all reviews
