Review of The Magnificent Seven

I did not expect to like this series when I first started. Westerns that were made after 1970's dont have the same appeal. I think it is the starring role of Michael Beihn as Chris Larabie in this adaption that truly takes the cake. I do not much prefer the original magnificent seven movies with Yul Brener as I find he did not make a convincing western gunfighter character. Where as Michael Beihn became a hero and a black figure of revenge, coolness, kindness, and uprightness in the best way possible. I cannot say I enjoyed all the episodes, but the ones I did I have rewatched several times.

My personal favorites are: wagon train part 2, Achilles, Lady Killers, and witness.
