![]() Two of these movies, The Magnificent Seven (1960) and Nevada Smith (1966) saw him play a similar cowboy role. It was in Wanted: Dead or alive that McQueen as Josh Randall really excelled and he soon rocketed to fame in great movies. McQueen also starred in a forgettable sci-fi movie called The Blob. At the same time of the release of this series. Until this western series began, Steve McQueen was relatively unknown. Widows and others inconvenienced by misfortune, often received the bounty collected from Randall. He stood for law and order, and if he believed his prey was innocent, he would defend them with his life seeking out the guilty at the same time. With the bigger gauge bullet, his victims never stood a chance. In this series, Josh Randall never used a six-gun, but a sawn-off Winchester 1892 model carbine rifle. They never killed for the sake of killing and only defended themselves to avoid being killed. Like Paladin in Have Gun Will Travel, and Vint Bonner in The Restless Gun Josh Randall had both morals and ethics. ![]() Steve McQueen plays the role of Josh Randall, a bounty hunter in the days where there was no law and murders were an everyday occurrence. This attractively packaged set covers all three seasons spanning 94 episodes from 1958 to 1961. I still rate Have Gun Will Travel as the doyen of westerns, closely followed by Wanted: Dead or Alive and The Restless Gun. I can vividly recall watching the series on television in the late 1950's in Australia which was only one of three westerns worthwhile watching. Season 1 of Missing: Dead or Alive is on Netflix from May 10, 2023.I recently purchased the complete series of the classic western show, Wanted Dead or Alive. The very same thing is the case with this Netflix docu-series. And sure, often you might have an idea, but ever so often, you find yourself surprised with the outcome. Whenever I watch that show, I often find myself feeling certain that I know the answer. However, be warned, you never really know!įor me, it was sort of like watching an episode of Catfish (which is a series I adore really). As mentioned earlier, you’ll probably have a gut reaction to the solution of each case. The cases are very different, which also makes for a very interesting season. The episodes in this first season of Missing: Dead or Alive? are between 30 minutes and one hour in length. I could easily imagine they’d make more seasons of this for Netflix, where a different department is at the heart of the investigations. We follow the investigative officers from a South Carolina sheriff’s department, which obviously results in a different series than if it had been in a place like New York City. Watch Missing: Dead or Alive on Netflix now! The question they need to answer is whether they’re gone due to a criminal event or a wish to disappear of their own accord! Usually, they search for individuals who’ve disappeared under troubling circumstances. There is a lot of ground to cover (both physical and analytical) when a person is missing.Įspecially as it doesn’t become a missing person case for no reason. And yet, I recognize that the investigators were constantly on the move. Second, to see where the activity had happened.ĭon’t get me wrong, it is covered fairly quickly, but still not within the first few days which continues to baffle me. First, to see if there has been any activity. If a person is missing, I would think they’d look to see if money had been withdrawn. I just always figured you’d follow the money first. ![]() There will also be moments where you wonder Why didn’t they cover the basics faster? For me, this moment came with the very first case, where the bank isn’t contacted until after some other “bases” have been rounded. As well as, obviously, speak with those who last saw the person. The investigators have to go out to where the missing person was last seen. ![]() It should come as no surprise that it really is leg work for the most part. And yes, this extends to seeing how law enforcement and investigators work. I always like finding out the inner workings of things. ![]()
