We hear it all the time. When you, an ultimate aficionado of all-things Old West, stumbled upon INSP, you rightfully felt like you struck the mother lode of timeless and original Western TV shows and movies. Let’s face it, asking loyal viewers like you to declare a magnificent seven series is like asking a mother to name a favorite child.

So, we’re here to deliver the magnificent seven series screening right here, right now on INSP. We’re singling out the shows that have everything we adore about our favorite television genre: dashing and deep leading men, brainy and beautiful love interests, dastardly despicable villains, and edge-of-your-seat plots that prove good will ultimately triumph over evil.
