Not bad, but I can't honestly say I enjoyed <em>'Tex'</em>.
It's too forced for my liking. I didn't feel a connection to the characters, nor did I really rate the performances of the cast. The premise isn't super watchable either. All just very meh, to be honest.
Matt Dillon is OK in the main role of Tex, though it is safe to say his acting - thankfully - improved as he got older; as seen in <em>'Wayward Pines'</em>. I can't say any of the other cast members did anything to remember.
Not quite good enough, all in all.
