There’s doubtless some dramatic license here. No matter. It’s a classic campfire story, from a land that truly was the Wild West.

Texas Rising doesn’t have the urgency of “Hatfields vs. McCoys,” but Texas enthusiasts will enjoy the blow-by-blow reenactments of a crucial period in American history.

Richly textured and enjoyable if wildly uneven, the star-studded series tries to marry the hard-nosed, brutally violent realism of modern TV to an antique--some would say antiquated--aesthetic of genteel mannerisms and off-the-wall humor prevalent during the first golden age of TV in the 1950s and '60s.

By the end of Chapter Two, many viewers might well be in the mood to detour elsewhere rather than follow Houston’s plea to “follow me a little longer down this twisted, bloody road.”

As directed by Roland Joffe (The Killing Fields), Rising has some entertaining shoot-‘em-ups and showdowns, but Joffe is hobbled by the script, which forces him to cut away from Houston to give equal weight to Olivier Martinez’s Santa Anna, the leader of the Mexican army and president of the country, and the subject of some of Rising’s most tedious storytelling.

What should be a sweeping, exciting epic about Texas' fight for independence instead comes off as a muddled cross between a costume party and historic re-enactors convention.

I thought it was surprisingly good! I figured in this day and age that it would be a woke mess, but it actually was fairly historically accurate and fair to all sides, while also showing the brutality that all sides were capable of, whether showing the ruthlessness of the take no prisoners policy of Santa Ana and his military, the slaughter of the mexican soldiers by some of the Texicans, after they had surrendered after the battle of San Jacinto, or the brutality of the Comnche as they were trying to drive the Texicans from what they saw as the invasion of their land. Good acting, good action, and good character development, over all.
