The Virginian (1962–1971)
10/10
Possibly the best TV Western series
12 August 2021
Having watched The Virginian growing up, I was thrilled to purchase the entire 9 series on DVD. Watching them through in 2020/2021, the stories hold up surprisingly well, the production values are excellent considering when this was made, and the speed they made them. Drury is superb as The Virginian, and Doug MaClure is equally excellent as Trampas. If you like Westerns, try and find this series on DVD or on TV re-runs. No silly stunts, no over the top computer graphics, just good acting, by an excellent cast of regulars and guests, and well written stories which often make you think. Forget the reviews on here which say this is too long as the 75 minute format give stories and characters time to develop. Easily my personal favourite Western series, and much better than 90% of Western films out there.
