This may be heresy to you, but I actually preferred the first season of the HBO series to the movie. Yup Bryner was good in the movie (although not my favorite of his roles) but not enough to overcome having a whiny richard benjamin as the hero. And the movie lacked any women characters at all. I especially liked Thandiwe Newton in the series, but they had a number of interesting women characters. As I write this, I realized that one of my favorite side characters from my original series of stories (Lizzie) was almost certainly influenced by a female bandit in the series.
The second season was interesting, but not as good. The third season was awful. I don't even know if they made a fourth season.
