What ultimately makes “That Dirty Black Bag” both entertaining and intriguing isn’t its adherence to westerns past, but its own tweaks on the genre.

The series is doubtlessly setting the stage for an eventual explosion of conflict encompassing parties both in and out of Greenvale, but with the early storylines mostly given over to the slow reveal of everyone’s past, it’s easy to wish that it took a little less time to pick up steam.

With the storyline frequently repetitious and almost entirely incomprehensible, it seems that only headhunters and professional sadists will likely manage to maintain long-term interest in That Dirty Black Bag.
