a5c7b9f00b In the late 1800&#39;s a new addition to law enforcement is evolving. Forensic science is in its infancy and the Wild West will never be the same. Enter Federal Marshal Jared Stone, the product of the Old West who has the smarts to know that the times are changing and he has to change with them. With ex-Pinkerton Agent Larimer Finch and local mortician Katie Owen, they make up Silver City, CO&#39;s., newest crime fighting team. It takes both hands to describe this innovative Western TV series (though owing more than a little to Hec Ramsey IMHO) that initially intrigued and then caused me to gradually lose interest and stop watching.<br/><br/>On the one hand it was cleverly written and very well acted, especially by Tom Berenger.<br/><br/>On the other hand it was so politically correct that I could guess who the villain was, usually in the first 15 minutes, just by applying the &quot;logic&quot; of political correctness: (The villain can never be a member of any approved minority so it can never be an Indian or a black or a Chinese person or a female or a poor and downtrodden person, etc., and the minute there&#39;s a rich, prejudiced, white male on the suspect list, &quot;At ease, Mounties, we&#39;ve got our man.&quot;<br/><br/>I think I guessed wrong only once, and in that episode the villain turned out to be a rich, prejudiced, white female. Peacemakers was everything I hoped it would be. Mr. Berenger gave us everything from his bashful smiles to his no-nonsense demeanor (which I&#39;m sure he perfected raising all those beautiful kids). The plot moved and twisted, each new character flowed into Peacemakers with ease, and we were given the feel of the town &amp; the times when we were done. Best line….&quot;that&#39;s TWO questions.&quot; Thank you Mr. Berenger, and thank you USA for quality programming. Ummmm, just wondering tho…..why did you switch horses 1/2 way through?
