Pierce Brosnan is Eli McCullough, a man known as the Colonel and the very definition of the Lone Star State. If it gives you pause that an Irish actor is trying to embody the quintessential Texan, it should; Mr. Brosnan never seems comfortable in the role. The 1915 Eli, now patriarch of a family with significant holdings in the Rio Grande Valley, is a ruthless fellow. His youngest son, Pete (Henry Garrett), who unlike Dad has a conscience, is pushing back regarding his tactics. Oh, there are female characters, too, though they aren’t given much to do in early episodes other than have sex.
