AMC debuted its new western series “The Son” this month. The series has 10 hour-long episodes, and is based on the Pulitzer Prize-nominated and best selling novel of the same name by Phillipp Meyer.

In small town Texas, the McCullough family is trying to build an oil dynasty on the wild frontier.

Over 150 years and three generations, the McCullough family’s quest for power has lingering consequences. As the family becomes one of the richest in Texas, they face many conflicts.

Pierce Brosnan stars as Eli McCullough.

The first three episodes are available to watch for free on AMC’s site without a login. New episodes air Saturdays at 9/8 CT.
