From Dusk till Dawn the series - Gecko Brothers FTW!


Whoa! Just whoa! The Gecko brothers are bad, bad, bad but oh so good, good, good! Richie and Seth Gecko are trying to make their way to Mexico and rendezvous with Carlos. Just because they robbed a bank, shot a bunch of Texas Rangers and kidnapped a fine upstanding (well, that's debatable) family, doesn't mean they are bad people right?

Richie Gecko, played by Vancouver's Zane Holtz, (you may remember him as Barfbag in the movie Holes) is a little off his rocker...okay fine, a lot. He is the younger brother of Seth and is plagued by visions of Santanico Pandemonium (Vampire Heiress and nudie dancer at the Titty Twister) and also likes to cut the eyes out of his victims...just a little less than all there right?

Seth Gecko, played by DJ Cotrona, is the older brother and has the connections to get him and Richie across the border to Mexico, sort of. He is the brains behind the brothers and looks out for his younger brother at all costs, even when he realizes the dude is just plain cray cray.

Texas Ranger Freddie Gonzalez, played by Jessie Garcia is hot on their tail and has a fierce determination to off Richie and Seth as retribution for them killing his mentor and partner Earl McGraw, who is played by 80's sex machine Don Johnson

One of the best parts of the show is Wilmer Valderrama as Carlos Madriga. Lordy he plays a fantastic bad guy! He almost makes you believe he is an evil vampire hell bent on taking over. Yikes! He's scary good in this part and you even forget he played the mild mannered half wit Fez in That 70's Show.

I am in total fangirl love with this series. Shooting, killing, explosions, vampires...I just can't get enough! It also has a bar named the Titty Twister and well, that's gotta account for something right?

OFF THE FREAKIN CHARTS! Every one of them! 

GAH, I know there is a plot here somewhere but damn if I can't find it under all this testosterone and muscle! Oh, yeah, right...Gecko brothers rip off a bank, kill people and are chased by Texas Rangers, abduct a family and make it to Mexico where Carlos is waiting for one big old happy reunion! 
I think if you like this type of show you will really enjoy it. The movie has this heavy cult following and I am pretty sure this series will not let you down.
Season two is coming in 2015!
