Billy the Kid (TV Series) The Rattler (2022) User Reviews

It's important to me ...

The bereaved Kathleen is destitute and skivvies for abusive pay, her other options being a wife or worse - a fabulous, emotional performance from Eileen O'Higgins, a veteran of period drama.

I love the production values, conveying stark realism in a volatile heap of humanity with high stakes in a rigged game.

Hollywood making another saint

This episode shows Billy's (now fatherless) family arriving in Santa Fe. Billy is given credit for saving his mom from predatory men, including eventually his step-father. He witnesses the unjust killing of a friend, all of which propels him toward the life of a gunslinger. He falls under the spell of a man posing as an investigator.

Too bad much of the case for making him sympathetic seems missing from the historical record.
