Billy the Kid

An epic romantic adventure series based on the life of famous American outlaw Billy the Kid — from his humble Irish roots, to his early days as a cowboy and gunslinger in the American frontier, to his pivotal role in the Lincoln County War and beyond.
[Viaplay] Takes a more intimate approach to the idealized figure of Billy the kid, and works better in the later episodes, which focus on the trade war in Lincoln County, than in the earlier ones about the character's childhood. But it lacks a certain sense of epic that does not take advantage of the environment or the story to transcend a more or less conventional western.
