Streets of Laredo
Created by Larry McMurtry
A dark, elegiac Western miniseries about an aging lawman pursuing a young killer, built on the collision between old codes and new violence.
Captain Woodrow Call, now retired from the Rangers, is a bounty hunter. He is hired by an eastern rail baron to track down Joey Garza, a new kind of killer, only a boy, who kills from a distance with a rifle.
