I brought this series on a whim. I'd never seen it on TV before here in the UK but became aware of it through a friend.
I can honestly say it was worth the price, the characters are interesting, the locations brilliant. For once this is not a wild west that is clean, its dusty, it's hard and perhaps this show is what paved the way for grittier west shows like Deadwood. Having said that it is over 10 years old, which you will notice on occasion but very rarely.
What does speak volumes is the loyal fans who even after 10 years continue to talk, and write about it on the internet. The same thing can not be said for some shows currently being aired.
I recommend buying this show, and if at all possible please buy it new. I like everyone else who has watched it are now praying that season 2 & 3 are released but this will only happen if there is a market.

This is season one of Young Riders. Brilliant. I hadn't seen it it years and it was great to relive, and re-remember the episodes from years ago. The only thing I want to know is where is series 2 and 3? They only did 3 seasons so a 3 part box set of the entire series would have been perfect. Hopefully they will do it soon. Great to see a young Josh Brolin and Stephen Baldwin in action.

This is so fabulous. Realistic, full of interesting characters. Shows how hard life was for the people who lived through those years in the old west. At times, the photography is so wonderful that it is breathtaking - still shots of the landscapes and people could grace an art gallery.
For me, this is the natural "next generation" to follow the incomparable High Chaparral (where are the DVDs for that classic - still bogged down in copyright wrangles I gather - shame on all those involved for keeping it from the viewing public). It has the same spare elegance and unflinching portrayal of some of the less "perfect" aspects of life in those times, especially for those from minorities.
It's not fair to single out individual members of the regular cast - it's a fine ensemble piece of acting....but Anthony Zerbe, as always, is a complete scene stealer - this man is an actor's actor...he is THAT great.
So forget the chores, forget the time and that you have to work the next day - like the best of books, it's hard to put this one down without finishing it. PLEASE can we have the other series too?

I'd forgotten how good this was... but why no extras?
I dimly remember watching this program after tapping it off ITV's nighttime schedule - which indicates my age. The storyline is simple enough, and very watchable. Read more

Relishing in the past

Finally!
So, they've finally released the 1st season of The Young Riders. But couldn't they have added some features, like interviews which I've seen on YouTube, or something? Read more
