Lonesome Dove is the finest miniseries ever made. It is perhaps the most faithful adaptation of a great book I have ever seen on film. There is riveting scene after riveting scene. I read Larry McMurtry's Pulitzer Prize winning book of the same name in 1986 when it was a bestseller and watched this miniseries in 1989 during its first run on TV. I bought the DVDs when they were first released and have watched them many times over the years. I loved every version, every time.
There is now a Blu-ray edition of this great old series, which I just watched. The old 4:3 film has been reformatted to 16:9, widescreen, and digitally remastered, including a 5.1 Dolby Digital soundtrack. It was a marvelous experience. Highly recommended.
