Pretty much the dictionary definition of a great pilot. There's plenty for the show to explore in later episodes, but the show's very essence is beautifully captured right here; great chemistry among the cast, turn-of-the-century trappings and an oddball of a hero: a Harvard lawyer/skilled cowboy/horse whisperer (but Bruce Campbell pulls it all off and injects the proceedings with obscene levels of charm). And that doesn't even address the bare-knuckled action. It's been a few years since I sat down with this show, but just the first 90-minute taste whets my appetite for more. And oh, the places this show will go.
Here's to more Brisco.
8/10
