![]() The pilot was directed by Rodriguez, so there are plenty of terrific angles at play (with some recalling both the original film and Rodriguez classic El Mariachi). However, the character’s arc in the first episode suggests that Johnson’s stint may have been a one-off. In the premiere, however, Gonzalez is mostly harmless, and the actor seems adept at handling himself during the episode’s action sequences. Don Johnson also shows up to chew the scenery as grizzled Ranger Earl McGraw, though it’s unclear how large a role he’ll play in the rest of the show. Given how great a fit he is in the role of a tough-as-nails veteran, hopefully Rodriguez and the other writers will find a way to work him into the remainder of the season. Unlike with the Gecko brothers, there’s a definite danger that the character might start to wear on the nerves if the series doesn’t give him strong material to work with. As Texas Ranger Freddie Gonzalez, who has vowed to follow the Gecko brothers “to the gates of Hell” by episode’s end, Jesse Garcia turns in a solid, if not particularly exciting performance.
