I watched two of them when N.S. posted some of the episodes a while back. Keith is laconic,if I remember correctly--like Clint Eastwood in his "Man with No Name" movies of the 60s.
The individual stories I don't recall.

I checked out some of "The Painting" episode,Keith is much more like John Wayne--not Clint Eastwood. As "Dubya" would say,"I misremembered."

Review:A very good first episode. Dave Blassingame,I take it,is a drifter. I viewed episodes #4 and 13 before this one and the women in all of them are either very flawed,tempermental or plain nuts. Could've called the show,"Wayward Western Women".
I just saw a "Gunsmoke" today,from 1959,where Matt fought a pro fighter--and won. Same here--Blassingame takes a pro boxer. This show had a little extra--with the Bible toting woman bookending the main story and the interplay between Keith and Diana Millay(Jeff).
I'll rate it 3 1/2 stars out of 4.
