If I was picking dream jobs, being a cowboy would definitely be in my top five. Being a rockstar, playing James Bond and opening the batting for the England cricket team would probably come above it, but cutting a dash in a fancy Stetson, strutting about all day in some 501s and pistol-whipping bad guys sure sounds like fun to me.
All this considered I was rather excited about Sky Atlantic's latest big budget Us import Vegas. Sheriffs and mobsters. Vegas glitz and Nevada dust. Cowboys and casinos. Who wouldn't be excited?
This premiere episode didn't sizzle as much as I was hoping - the '60s period detail was wafer thin, the show quickly slipped into all too familiar crime procedural tropes - but it was never boring and what it lacked in depth it made up for in bad-ass, ball-kicking villains and grizzled, horse-riding good guys.
