A Showtime original series. Narrated by Kris Kristofferson. Set in the mythic old West, this magnificent complete season uncovers the legend of a dead man's gun that grants whoever possesses it unforeseen powers, with usually dangerous results. As the pistol passes from person to person, the lives of those who possess it are forever transformed. The series won numerous awards including THE BRONZE WRANGLER award.

What a show
The Dead Man. 's Gun is a fun, modern western series shot more like a movie. We enjoyed watching it and were impressed with the quality of writing and photography. We did think the obviously gratuitous nudity in almost every episode of the first season, was unnecessary. Unfortunately, these scenes make it necessary to curtail its' viewing by your young children. Naturally, the gun violence is part of the scenario of the show and yet it is done with as little gore as possible without ruining the impact of such violence in the storyline. Since the show appears to be filmed somewhere in Canada, it is raining a good portion of the time. This is one case of outsourcing that is common these days and it would serve the industry well to bring back movies and TV shows which are filmed in the U.S.A.

Terrific, Old West buffs will like these a lot.
Terrific, can't say enough about the photography, the plots, the clarity of sound, etc. Some installments are better than others, of course, but a home run in all IMO. You can start anywhere in the series and get the idea, season two is just as good.

This serial is a wonderful combination of the very best 1950's westerns and outer limits. Even if you didn't like westerns or Outer Limits, you will love Dead Man's Gun!!!

Western with a new twist.
I love this series. It has been called a western with a twist of Twilight Zone and indeed it is.

Clever and imaginative
Oh my word. I suppose if you are scared to death of nudity it might seem like a lot but honestly I barely notice it.On to the show... I love this show. It is intelligent and offbeat. Obviously that is why it only had 2 seasons. I loved it when it first aired and I have watched it regularly every chance I could since. Like others have mentioned each episode is more like a movie so even though there are only 2 seasons there is no ongoing plot that runs off a cliff at the end of the second season. You don't even need to watch them in order. The other nice aspect of being shot like movies is new casts and sets and a nice assortment of stars.I wish they would remaster these for BD because the quality of the DVD video is only so-so.
