The Son - Season 1 [DVD]

Watch part of the series on TV and moved. Found this here and loved it. Waiting for season 2.

Really enjoyed this Western series! Loved the flashbacks to the Indian days of the mid-1800's then moving up to 1915 showing the History of the family.

Such an underrated series and story. Absolutely loved it! Ashame AMC limited it to two seasons! Great acting as well! Wish we could purchase season two on DVD.

No consistent story line. And the characters had no arc. Ok at best.

Better than a spicy meatba!

The 1st season of the adaptation of the novel is most impressive. It avoids the cliches of most westerns. The Comanches are portrayed as complex human beings, not simplistically as ignorant savages. It jumps back and forth between 1839 when Eli McCulloch was captured by Indians as a young teenager and 1917 when a much older cattle baron Eli dreams of becoming an oil magnate. His teen experiences on the plains are used to show why the older Eli is such a harsh and unforgiving person. Meyer's work as a novelist has been compared to the writings of Frank Norris and John Dos Pasos, and very deservedly. It illustrates the selfish cold heartedness of all empire builders, but does not celebrate them.

This was a good production and well worth viewing, but AMC obviously has no intention of releasing the second (concluding) season, so don't leave yourself hanging.

loved the series bought season 1 loved it. bought season 2 and my recorder wouldn't accept it. This the second time I have purchased a movie from unacceptable region. I have tossed 2 movies now Desiree and The Son.not happy. You need to let people know that the dvd d's won't play in U S A. So we don't end up getting something we can't use. Kind of Fraudulent. I've spent 65.00 on these movies. IRRITATED!!

Excellent Story-line (Can not seem to optain season 2 from Amazon).

I really enjoyed this series and am looking forward to Season 2 when it's released. Too bad, however, that it has now been cancelled and there won't be a third. I did order the book that the series is based upon and am looking forward to a good long read to find out more.

Love the book and the series. Will buy the second season when it is available. Pierce Brosnan is fantastic as the Coronel. Just wish there was more of the story - they cut it more than they should have.

Extremely good. The story, the actif, the setting just great... hoping To see many seasons To come

a bit slow and boring...disappointing!!!
