Synopsis

The Adventures of Brisco County, Jr. (1993), Season 1 is a comic sci-fi Western you can watch online on iFILM — twenty-seven episodes starring Bruce Campbell as a Harvard-trained bounty hunter.

The richest robber barons of the West hire Brisco to take down the John Bly gang, the outlaws who gunned down his lawman father. The chase drags him after the bumbling Swill brothers, onto a riverboat con, into a courtroom defense, and again and again toward a mysterious orb humming with otherworldly power. The show wears its anachronisms proudly — prototype motorcycles, a supercannon, a visitor from the future. By the closing two-parter Bly is plotting his escape from the orb and both Brisco and Lord Bowler stand trial for treason.

Fox ran it a single season before it found its cult — gunplay, pulp invention and straight-faced wit whose influence later turned up in Firefly. Best for anyone who likes their Western with a wink. Stream The Adventures of Brisco County, Jr. Season 1 online on iFILM.
