"an honest life"?

The promo for Lone Star said, dramatically:

"A conman trying anything he can to live an honest life"

But the episode was all about him recruiting his father to rip off his father-in-law, set up his poor despised brother-in-law as the fall guy, and - oh, yeah - marrying another woman.

If you want to tell us the story of a conman, then do it. But that's not living "an honest life", and people who want to see that story aren't going to like the one you're giving us.

Not that I particularly care. You haven't made me really like him, to hope he succeeds, or really hate him, to hope he's caught and tossed behind bars. And the new character - the messed up sister? Could have done without that soapy complication.

I think I'm done. From what I hear, Fox's itchy cancellation-button finger means you are, too. Perhaps next time you'll have a better idea of what kind of story you're trying to tell us, and about what kind of character.
