Part 1 (of 6) of Into The West (TNT, 7pm – 9pm, 9pm – 11pm; airs again on both Saturday and Sunday). This new six part “limited series” (a.k.a. miniseries) is executive produced by Steven Spielberg and is all about the opening of the American West. Each two-hour segment has a different director and writer and a slightly different cast (I’m assuming there’ll be overlap). I really liked the first part of this, though it is more slow-paced than what one is used to. It looks great, the cast is solid, the story is interesting. Skeet Ulrich stars in this segment, with Josh Brolin, Will Patton, Simon R. Baker, Alan Tudyk (of Firefly), and Gary Busey. That’s just the beginning, because future episodes will include performances from a whole bucnh of familiar folk (including Lance Henricksen, Christian Kane (of Angel), Jessica Capshaw, Keith Carradine, Rachel Leigh Cook, Keri Russell (of Felicity), Judge Reinhold, Matthew Modine, Craig Sheffer, Sean Astin, Tom Berenger, Beau Bridges, and lots more). Check it out.
