What in the hell happened to Taylor Sheridan? With 'Hell or High Water' and 'Sicario' being so successful, I thought he would stick to his guns but, alas, no. He's drunk on Hollywood Kool-Aid and putting out Hallmark western trash like 1883. Soooooo disappointed. Sam Elliott, Tim McGraw, and Faith Hill were so good in their roles, only to have it ruined by an unrealistic 18-year-old girl that would never have existed in that day and age (at least, not without numerous whoopin's from mom and dad). Seriously bad theater. I should have known to avoid this after my previous rant on 'Them that want me dead'. I just thought that was a one-off bad production.

Here's a spoiler for you: They're in Kansas...here comes a tornado...girl jumps in a ditch with a handsome Arapaho warrior...she screams as the twister goes over top, rolls over on the warrior, hugs, and lip locks on the dude. Now they're in love and get married. WTF.

I bought this on Vudu, along with all 5 seasons of Yellowstone, and decided to watch it first since it's a prequel. Great. Someone tell me that Yellowstone is better. Please?

Taylor Sheridan is cranking out more Slightly-better-than-mediocre television than almost all other networks combined. He has his hands in too many cookie jars at the moment, but who can blame him. Studios are just throwing money at him. For that reason, I believe the quality of these shows has slipped.

I think Yellowstone peaks in season 3. I quit on season four. It as an absolute slog. Tulsa King was my favorite thing he's done on television of late. It was at least fun.

I did not like 1883 either. For that reason, I've not even tuned in to 1923.

IMO Taylor Sheridan has found a niche writing/showrunning in the subgenre I call "TV shows my Dad loves, that are at least OK".

Whenever I visit my parents and we've run out of things to say to each other (frequent occurance) and we're sat silently in front of the TV-Netflix, I just look for something Sheridan created and it's passably enjoyable and my Dad loves it.

I imagine this explains his success, because the majority of prestige TV is geared towards a high-brow or young-skewing audience, but Sheridan's making shows that are at least satisfactory to a wider demographic.
