Forget the old tv show that everyone knows. That was a mishmash that never showed a black person in any way I can remember. There was a faithful Indian companion named Tonto. Lenny Bruce said that the Lone Ranger was gay and the mask hid mascara. Thats how he got censored back then. As I understand Reeves had the whole state of Oklahoma to patrol. He did well doing the "Respectful" act with whites till they let him get close. Then he could outdraw and outshoot any of them. Wanted dead or alive was a real thing back then. As for this show, I liked the Civil War reenactment that opened the first episode.
