The more I watch this series the more I like it. It was made in the era where TV westerns were flooding the air waves so it may have got lost in the shuffle. As a huge fan of the movie Shane I was a little skeptical of how 5he main characters would be portrayed. Jill Ireland's role is the only one I'm a little disappointed in. On the other hand Bert Freeds role as Ryker is a step up from the big screen. He's just as grizzled and tough as the original but seems a bit wiser and more intelligent. He's probably my favorite character in the entire series. Like I said, too many other westerns, bad time slot , early cancelation. Too bad because the writing and character development was right up there with Gunsmoke. And that's saying something!!
