As I watched TV in the 1950's, there were no shortages of Westerns, and I did watch Guy Williams play Zorro. He was not the only one to use a whip (Lash LaRue) nor the only one with a mask (The Lone Ranger), but he did leave the mark of the "Z" and the episode always had him rear up on his horse while on a hilltop, and that was used in these episodes. But to remember much of the episodes is beyond me. So if some think this is a terrible portrayal of Zorro, each director is entitled to their own interpretation. I feel this is more a soap opera approach which is neither great nor terrible. It certainly is interesting and I did binge watch all 10 episodes. I suspect the creators hope for a second season. There seems to be some nods to Batman, in that he traverses a narrow passage to and from his adventures as Zorro, and there is a cave involved. That it is set before multi-shot firearms is appropriate and keeps the shooting scenes realistic for the times. It can be fun to compare the dialogue with the subtitles, and note the differences. They threw in two characters playing Zorro, and made Zorro as a continuance rather than an individual. And remember, as they said, there is no gold to be found in California.
