The series functions much the same as the oil the McCullochs desperately seek in the early 1900s storyline: It's obvious something is there, but nobody has figured out how to get to it.

Without a great authoritative figure to lift the entire piece to a mythic level, The Son may have been better off in book form - where readers can imagine the Texas described in its pages.

There's potential here, but The Son needs to be a bit quicker on the draw.

That's Pierce Brosnan behind the whiskers in this epic oater about a wealthy Texas cattle baron.

While I wish The Son was more dramatically engaging, it is certainly the kind of program that warrants thematic dissection and discussion. And we can't have enough of those.

All things considered, The Son is worth the watch, and you may lose yourself in the West in the best way as long as you keep tuning in each week.

Quality drama about oil industry family kind of a snooze.

Brosnan is back on TV! Now that we've gotten past the most exciting part of The Son, the show looks good, too.

While AMC is known for some of TV's best dramas, and while the cinematography in The Son is grand, this western doesn't promise to become more than "Dallas" on the frontier.

Missed opportunities and hard choices propel The Son. It echoes Giant and Dallas yet holds the nostalgia to deliver a fresh, engrossing take on Westerns.
