I'm not much of a TV series or movie person, but every now and again one will pique my interest. On Saturday - rained a good part of the day - I was poking around Netflix, and I came across this TV series called "Pinkertons", set in Kansas City around 1870. I streamed the first episode, and all I have to say is, if you're a percussion revolver enthusiast like me you will think you died and went to heaven.
The male lead carries an 1860 Army on his left side in cross-draw fashion. The female lead had a Remington pocket revolver in the first couple of episodes, but now has an 1862 Pocket Police in a holster on her right ankle. So far I've seen at least one Walker, several 1860 Armies, a Spiller & Burr, plenty of authentic holster rigs and cartridge and patch boxes, etc.
The premise of the show has Alan Pinkerton posting his son to a detective position in Kansas City, but then appoints a female detective to be his supervisor. Of course the young Pinkerton is a handsome but brave guy with not a lot upstairs, while the female detective is pretty and brilliant, and uses all sorts of forensic science to solve the cases.
I'm about four episodes into it now, and already the plots are becoming somewhat predictable so I'm not sure how many more I can stand......but, boy, there is a whole lotta gun waving around going on.
So far, just for the gun candy, I recommend it.
