This must rate as one of the most bizarre and weird Western television series ever. Hard to understand how this remained on television for twenty years. Sheriff Matt Dillon is basically a serial killer. He just shoots people dead without blinking an eye literally every episode. He is either asexual or neutered. No interest in females. He never once kisses anyone. No romance. Nothing. Whoever wrote the scripts for this show was a weirdo. Romance and kissing is out, but constant killings and even sadistic behavior by almost all the villains is the norm. The acting wasn't anything to write home about. Most performances were flat, wooden and totally void of emotion. People are killed off without a blink of an eye. It is all ho hum. Enough said.
