    I see your Stevie and raise you a Ray Wylie.......this song goes well with Texas Rising tonight.

    In no way do I make any money from anyone related to the firearms industry.

    After watching the first night of this series (...and praying we did not float away) I was really disappointed.

    Did anyone else FROM Texas think, "where the hell did they get this setting...it does not even remotely LOOK like our state?"

    The setting just blew it for me. There was loads of dust everywhere and tons of high, rocky crags and hardly any trees. Hello! San Antonio and the South Central Texas landscape is rolling hills and TONS of trees! It looked as if they filmed this in Southern Arizona or Northern Mexico and looked NOTHING like Texas.

    They have done this in many other films, which does NOt make it right - not all of Texas looks like Big Bend!

    Sorry...that ruined the series for me. If you are not from here...it probably does not bother you but it made the series look odd...sorry!

    For a series premier I was quite underwhelmed then again it may have just been the fact every 10 minutes I got an emergency broadcast so I was never really able to make that connection. Ended up giving up with 10 minutes left in the show because of the interruptions.

    I believe it was filmed in Mexico. Yes the setting was wrong, but that didn't bother me as much as the dialog and the delivery of said dialog. I
    turned it off after an hour and felt like I had waited too long to do so.
