Badlands, Texas Audience Reviews

Evengyny Thanks for the memories!
Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.
Monkeywess This is an astonishing documentary that will wring your heart while it bends your mind
Francene Odetta It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.
kateward1 As previously mentioned, lots of the same stuff is repeated over and over and over again, some of the 'characters' are quite annoying and very anecdotal. The first episode is the characters droning on about how hard life is living there, who cares!!!! They chose to live there. This needs to be condensed into fewer episodes. What was also a little confusing is there's footage of the victim being interviewed along with all the other characters but it isn't made clear initially that he is the victim. On a positive note, the scenery is spectacular and the story is quite interesting.
kikajenkins How many times can peoplesay the same things over and over?Watch and find out or don't. You won't be missing anything. The only good thing about the show was the story and the music. The story could've been shared in 2 episodes. It seemed like the same 3 characters said the same things repetitively. Terilingua was a close community and everyone liked Glen. Yes, I get it👏🏻. It would've been a better dateline show. Leave it like that next time unless you have more to the story! The music always pulled me back in. That's all I can say about the show but I can't stop typing because the site says I have to write 10 lines to publish this review. I guess I'll just repeat myself like the show. This show was boring and repetitive. Boring and repetitive. Am I done?
msmarianne This was about the gloomiest, most depressing thing I've ever watched. I grew up in the 70's and remember having this image of Terlingua as being this hip place, synonymous with Willie and Waylon and chili cook offs. I realize the focus was on the murder, but most of the show is the same few characters over and over saying the same thing over and over. Or the guy with the patch on his eye talking about "justice". I think the first 4 episodes could have easily been condensed into one. There were no side notes about the beauty of the place, or old clips perhaps of Terlingua in the 70's. I guess also, no place is ever completely free of crime, as long as people are there, there will be bad apples or horrific things occurring. You have to wonder too, the background of some of the people who want to live so remotely. Kind of like Alaska, many people escape there to avoid consequences of whatever it is they're running away from or at the very least, make it extremely difficult to find them.
maryjcabe Badlands, TX has educated me in a lot of ways. First, the story is close to a murder that happened where I live. Second, the effect on the citizens is heart breaking. I have a whole new perspective on this type of death, law enforcement's capabilities, and how people react and evolve through the changing circumstances. I love the slower pace of the narrative and the unfolding of the story. When details are critical to the story line , they need to be presented carefully and the producers have done a good job. Lastly, the characters make me want to move to Terlingua. Each person offers a unique and valuable life story and part of this story of Glenn's death.
