It is not a complicated show. Every episode sticks to a general formula. The Lone Ranger or Tonto (or both of them) seem to get captured very often. They turn over their guns and knife, they are hostages or prisoners, and yet they are never worried too much.

The calmness and faith in goodness and good people is amazing to watch. The Lone Ranger and Tonto always give people the benefit of the doubt. They put themselves in danger to protect others. It is all part of their normal day.

It is hard to put into words, but these two characters are so positive, and so nice, they are superheroes. Their superpower is good intentions, wanting to help people in trouble.

Jay Silverheels is a really good actor too. A lot of his acting is without words. He lives in a world that treats Native Americans pretty badly, and yet he gets his job done without expecting anything. He also puts a lot of meaning into his looks and body language. I doubt that he ever got the credit he deserved for his acting.
