(Updated after Season 3).
A series-length adaptation of the movie of the same name. That was written by Quentin Tarantino and directed by Robert Rodriguez. Now it's just the Robert Rodriguez Show...
Story is the same. Two criminal brothers, Richie and Seth Gecko, are on the run from the law in Texas. They kidnap a man and his two children and cross the border into Mexico. There they end up at a bar where not everything is at it would seem...
Like the movie, this started very well. While it was a crime-drama it was great: gritty, edgy and entertaining. Then, from a certain point it becomes a vampire/monster-drama and loses its edge. Becomes more a plain old action movie, with weird creatures.
Season 2 tried to do something different, but in doing so lost focus and just ending up going in random, pointless directions. Right then the only reason to continue watching was Eiza Gonzalez...
Unfortunately Eiza Gonzalez doesn't really have much screen time in Season 3, appearing briefly early on and then for the final two episodes. The plot in Season 3 is a bit more focused that S2, but that doesn't say much, plus it is focused on supernatural, style- over-substance nonsense. If S3 isn't the final season it is certainly, at least, my final season of watching From Dusk Till Dawn.
