View All (21)audience reviews Nick T Lonesome Dove is a brilliant and vibrant series, carried by its writing and incredible cast of actors led Robert Duvall and Tommy Lee Jones. Gus's character is probably the closest I can think of of what a man should be. Honest, caring, brave, compassionate and fair. His loyalty to his word and ethics is inspirational. These characters lived life.Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars02/08/25 Full Review Will Z Best piece of art to ever be captured on film I watch it any chance i can;amazing story writing is perfect follows the book better than anything I've seen,characters are developed so well,great acting and dialog ,characters are cast so perfectly you couldn't imagine them being played by anybody elseRated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars03/08/24 Full Review A K 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.Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars01/22/23 Full Review randall k 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.Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars03/30/23 Full Review Ed M Awesome!
