The first episode of ‘That Dirty Black Bag’ is a well-done job of setting the stage and its players. The town in which it takes place, Greenvale, is a beautiful sight to watch. The visuals in the episode are top-notch, matching any big-scale movie production. The story and plot are interesting and will keep viewers hooked until the next episode airs.
The first episode does a great job of setting the tone and pace right. It uses the Western element superbly and in the right amount. The authenticity factor also checks out. Hardly any accent or detail of the set designs feels out of place. Add to that the ominous background score, and you get a complete package waiting to make your day.
The showrunners have promised that this season will be “the most unpredictable and exciting” yet, with a number of surprises in store for viewers. As the season progresses, it is likely that we will see more savagery and brutality than ever before. This is sure to keep you on your toes until the very end.
