      Season 1 – Texas Rising

      2015 Drama History List
      19% Tomatometer 16 Reviews 60% Audience Score Fewer than 50 Ratings This historical drama explores the fight for an independent Texas that occurred following the conclusion of the Battle of the Alamo. Gen. Sam Houston leads a ragtag group of Texas Rangers into battle against Mexican Gen. Santa Anna. Houston and the Rangers fight seemingly insurmountable odds to overtake the opponent and gain independence. The series comes from the same team behind Emmy-winning miniseries "Hatfields & McCoys" and, like that program, features Emmy nominee Bill Paxton, who plays Houston, in a prominent role.

      Critics Consensus

      Tedious and forgettable, Texas Rising is full of offensive stereotypes and a messy multitude of unfocused characters and narratives.

      Michael Idato Sydney Morning Herald It is perhaps to North & South what The Vikings is to Game of Thrones, not dissimilar, but starker, simpler and perhaps a little more instinctively brutal. Oct 4, 2016 Full Review Brian Moylan Guardian The cardinal sin of Texas Rising is that it is just dreadfully boring. There is a whole lot of talking but next to no doing. A handful of conflicts are over too soon and too small in scope for an epic production such as this. May 26, 2015 Full Review Mary McNamara Los Angeles Times [The cast] may not be enough to raise the entirety of Texas, but they along with rich historical details that go well beyond the usual Alamo myths make the series worth watching. May 26, 2015 Full Review Rob Lowman Los Angeles Daily News Texas Rising offers a multistory sprawl, with perhaps a few moments of entertainment, but more often with stilted dialogue, and it is undecided, or worse, defensive, about the history. May 29, 2015 Full Review Roger Catlin rogercatlin.com History Channel has made some ratings fictionalizing history, so here is more: a long, languishing 10-hour, five part miniseries, Texas Rising about the battles following the Alamo May 29, 2015 Full Review Brad Oswald Winnipeg Free Press In the end, this messy Texas tale will likely prompt viewers to forget about watching long before the Alamo is avenged.

      Kynlee T Extremely boring the only reason that I am giving it 2 stars is because there are some funny jokes, but overall it is very boring. It makes the Texas Revolution look very dull. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/21/24 Full Review Ron N What a waste of time. A bunch of disconnected stories almost no historical accuracy and almost no consistency from story to story. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 12/04/23 Full Review Mike Incredibly offensive and completely historically inaccurate. Slavers fought Mexico while living in Mexico over their right to own slaves after breaking the law for years. This directly led to the civil war. Not one single mention of this fact. Absolutely disgraceful, hateful, racist propaganda. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 08/21/23 Full Review tovangar T So boring it makes one's eyes water. A load of people wandering around in costume not engaged at all. No discernable direction. The plug should have been pulled on this after day one. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 05/23/23 Full Review faith f Was a wonderful show. All Star Cast. Definitely worth the watch. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review William T The cast is exceptional and the writing is great. Historical accuracy is something I care about and they did a great job on this.
