#A western drama series#

The series shows the injustice the white man heaped on Native Americans by example.

That doesn’t stop him from making the heir apparent mind his luggage or picking Peter to carry on the family industry – something Phineas has been working towards since birth. Eli doesn’t have a problem with men getting too close with their friends but does recognise the unfair hand his eldest son has been dealt. Gay in a world of masculinity, he is a macho man sparring with his lover between the sheets, over ledger sheets and in the boxing ring. Pete not as much, he is a bucking Bronco and his father appreciates a wild ride. The elder brother Phineas McCullough (David Wilson Barnes) has been a dutiful son, respecting Eli and all his commandments. Eli is paving the road to succession from the trail he carved out of the wild. Like a lot of Westerns, there is sibling rivalry on the McCullough ranch, especially as it moves from cows to oil. His gait opens the season as he comes to pick up his son and bring him home. The first time glimpse we get of Eli McCullough (Pierce Brosnan), all we see are his boots, sturdy, strong and stylish. Pete McCullough (Henry Garrett) has been on a Mexican chain gang after helping María García (Paola Núñez) cross the border after a land grab left her the sole survivor of her family, the McCullough family taking possession of everything they owned.

The Son season two picks up a few years after the events of the first.
