This really is western masterpiece, just glorious storytelling, deep, subtle, grounded in reality. Incredible.

All time great, will be very very hard to top. Any other favourite that come close in your opinion?

These are my favourites so far.

u/ajed9037 3d ago

Of course there are many great westerns out there, but none quite the same flavor as Lonesome Dove. It stands above most stories imo. However, my other favorite westerns are “The Good the Bad and the Ugly,” “Dances with Wolves,” “True Grit,” the “Hateful Eight” and “No Country for Old Men”

u/secretkodama 3d ago

Yeah Lonesome Dove is absolutely something special and a cut above the rest. Thanks for your picks, nice choices!

u/Pluperfectionist 3d ago

It’s a good show, and the novel is still 1,000x better. Wish I could read it again for the first time.

It is the best book i have ever read.

1

u/secretkodama 3d ago

I actually can't wait!! and what about the sequals?

3

u/Pluperfectionist 3d ago

Very good, but nothing compares to the original.

1

u/secretkodama 3d ago

Yeah always hard to follow an all timer! can't wait for this

2

u/neithan2000 2d ago

Comanche Moon is close to Lonesome Dove. Streets of Laredo is good. Dead Man's Walk is decent.

1

u/secretkodama 2d ago

Thanks for this! Great to know!

2

u/Vegetable-Pay2709 2d ago

The sequels are very good, too. I have seen all of them. Tubi has them. They are worth watching.

2

u/secretkodama 2d ago

Okay! Good to know! Thanks!

u/WalkAce22 3d ago

u/secretkodama 3d ago

I really can't wait to read it! About to get a copy!

u/Vegetable-Pay2709 2d ago

Absolutely! I think its my favorite. I love all of the LD movies. I have seen all of them on Tubi. I do have the collectors CD. And I watch it often. 🤣
