too much add with too much take away from a great western that be write by mcmurtry about the texas ranger vs. the indian . this screenplay take that away only to fill this mini series with a lot of warm fuzzy relationship that in truth be secondary to the main storyline . it end with a totally unbelievable and detach end not write in the book that make you question how we be to be transport to lonesome dove . the series main character be in truth cast very well and the filming location be excellent and but this mini series should have stay true to what be a great book .
