Actor, producer David Oyelowo talks bringing the story of Bass Reeves to life in new hit show

[@usedtobeblue2]

I love this show! I tell everyone who'll listen that I believe this is David Oyelowo's most stellar performance to date. BRAVO David Oyelowo. I wish you well. STAY ENCOURAGED 😊

I love to watch the show and particularly appreciate the setting of pre-Jim Crow, reconstruction era. It's a rarely discussed historical time period and I appreciate the visual representations of the changes in statuses of different groups under Civil War, Reconstruction and Jim Crow eras.

in 2017 the show "Timeless" season 1 episode12 featured a storyline about Bass Reeves. It's on Hulu...just saying. Now I will watch David Oyelowo's show. Loved him in Queen of Katwe!

Reeves is one possible inspiration for the Lone Ranger, the travelling hero of western radio, TV and films; historian Art T. Burton says "Bass Reeves is the closest person to resemble the Lone Ranger" citing similarities including Reeves working with Native American partners and handed out souvenir silver dollars.

Say what you want about Taylor Sheridan with his beef with Kevin Costner and Cole Hauser. Sheridan nailed it with this show about Bass Reeves. Should have been a movie made about him a long time ago.

I was waiting for a movie about Bass Reeves.

I recommend "Corsicana." Isaiiah Washington is great as Bass Reeves. Being from Texas he already knew how to ride a horse. Imagine that an ADOS actor portraying an historical ADOS figure. 😍 📼

Awesome!

Isaiah Washington did an excellent job with the movie version.

[@NellieKAdaba]

I need to watch the movie about the real Lone Ranger.
