Summary
Reviewers say 'The Head of Joaquin Murrieta' is a compelling Western series with strong performances and realistic historical portrayals. The cinematography, music, and production design enhance the immersive experience. However, some note historical inaccuracies and plot inconsistencies. The show's brutal depiction of violence and racism is praised yet uncomfortable. Its exploration of diverse cultures during the Gold Rush is appreciated, though the storyline can be convoluted. Despite flaws, it's a worthwhile watch for Western fans.

Story line is up and down and sideways. Relationships are fickle. Friends then enemies. Together then apart. Wounded, bleeding and beaten, poorly armed attacking a squad of fully armed rangers. Naturally all white men are evil. Bad guy soldiers are ambushed by Mexicans/Indian with mysterious explosives. Chinese protagonist performs surgery on her own leg in the middle of a battle. Savage murderers get religion and drunken priests conducts Latin burial at the drop of a hat. The most hunted outlaw sits down with the Hunter, but no one recognizes him. The plot has every situation imaginable, but so many zig zags one gets dizzy.
Its a great story and the actors are very good the scenarios of Durango Mexico are beautifull i really enjoy seen the Mexican been the good guys And the american been the bad guys. The photografy is really great and the music even do is very difrent from other western its really good. The storyline is like the Robin Hood of mexico. From my point of view the isnt many mexican westerns as good as this one. Amazon did a gret job brining this story to the screen that gives live to an other kind of hero. Thank you to all for tis series i hope every body enjoys the argument place in this proyect. See yo soon. And hope you amazon male the second season.

it gives a lot of praise, feeling, impression, love
I would absolutely recommend this to others that you go and see it for yourself
You certainly don't want to miss such a good series because it's a great series.
I was hooked on this show from the first episode, see now a days is hard to get invested into shows because diversity feels forced this show is different, they aren't worried about diversity because it's a true story about minorities so they focused on realism and they got most think accurately.the plot itself is engaging almost the whole show through, the scenery just like most western show was beautiful and the acting was top notch, the story is follows joaquin murrieta a legendary figure for mexico and an outlaw to America, but includes other cultures that ware around during the gold rush era such as the asian workers, we get to see a lot of native american stories and we even get to see some white people that weren't as bad as others. Can't wait for next season!
Overall this is a really enjoyable exploration of "Wild Wexico." The story and characters are very interesting. At times, the overly honest brutality and racism depicted make it uncomfortable to watch. However, they do a good job of balancing those aspects so that they add to the story, rather than distract from it.
There are random moments when things turns to absolute crap to unnaturally force wild-west scenarios and/or uber-machismo. There definitely should have been some stronger editing throughout the writing and filming. Still, these moments are rare enough to brush them off.
This is definitely worth a shot for anyone who enjoys westerns.
