We thrived on westerns especially the older ones. We love Paladin, Wanted Dead or Alive, The Rebel and even a few more...But 'The Loner' is the sad exception. Lloyd Bridges is poorly directed. Often he just watches an event unfold with a totally blank look on his face when he could STOP it and prevent tragedy. THEN WHEN he does intervene his actions seem to little too late. The plot lines are not just weak but lack common sense. The direction is poor and the over all acting so amateurish it's embarrassing. We barely made it through 5 episodes. It's no wonder this series was canceled after just one season. I bought the complete DVD series which I'll be tossing!!!!
