A complicated bank robbery
bkoganbing24 February 2021
Josh Brolin and bounty hunter William Shockley are thrown together in an uncomfortable alliance. Shockley on a previous episode was a ruthless bounty hunter who preferred his targets slumped over a saddle.

But in tis case the reward is for a living prisoner Tony Maggio who is accused of several bank robberies/ But Maggio is [art of a complicated scheme of systemic looting of territorial banks. And some folks would want to see him dead anyway.

This Young Rider episode is laced with a bit more humor than most. Maggio, Shockley and Brolin are a trio of uneasy trail companions.

It was ok, but the rest of the gang is missing. Only Hickock

Warning: Spoilers
This started out in the first few minutes of the episode with the whole gang, but then quickly turned Jimmy-centric for the rest of the episode. I like Jimmy, but there are a lot of Jimmy-centric episodes in the series and I think he gets more lines and screen time than the others. I love the ones where the whole gang is on a mission, standing up for each other, and helping out together.

Instead, we get Jimmy and these two other guys I don't care about for the entire episode. Although, I will say that Chase with his quirky persona was the best thing about this episode.

The plot itself involving the motivations of Chase was complex and interesting. I rooted for the guy.

It did get a little tired though with Colter having Chase, then Jimmy, then Colter, The Jimmy again, repeat, repeat. I felt like this time could have been better spent having the rest of the gang investigating ulterior suspects/motivations for the robberies which would have backed up, later, Chase's claims.

FYI, the series is currently streaming on Roku. I'm watching again after 30-plus years. No missing episodes.

Anyway, not my favorite, but was still ok. 6/10.
