OK I have seen the first one. I don't know much about the history, so no comment on that aspect, but it wasn't really good. The acting is pretty bad, led of course by perhaps the worst actor of my lifetime. No idea how Bill Paxton ever gets a job. All of the acting is hammed up.
It seems like they wanted to make this giant epic, and it comes across as a Western, with 60's Western music included. Half of the first episode was about the two goofy kids doing kind of nothing but being goofy.
And what's with the Mexicans switching between English and Spanish in the same scene? It's one or the other. Either they speak English where we understand they would actually be speaking Spanish, or they speak Spanish with subtitles.
I'll watch the rest just because, but so far it's not great.
