Peter Travers The Travers Take 1d
2/4
Michelle Pfeiffer enters the Taylor Sheridan universe in stellar form even when he sinks her in a Montana vs Manhattan grudge match that’ll bore you breathless. Go to Full Review
Craig Mathieson The Age (Australia) 3d
2/5
The storytelling is a kind of magical realism for traditional conservatives. Go to Full Review
Sarah Dempster Guardian 4d
2/5
A languid meditation on retirement stuffed with cloying aphorisms and thuddingly simplistic depictions of grief. Go to Full Review
Tim Stevens The Spool 3d
If you are capable of this kind of insight and this level of empathy, it becomes a choice not to apply it to all your characters and locations. And that’s an ugly choice to make. Go to Full Review
Dustin Rowles Pajiba 3d
It’s patronizing as hell, but Sheridan knows exactly who he’s making this for. And they’re going to eat it up -- hell, even I got a little misty, while fully acknowledging that it’s patronizing nonsense. Go to Full Review

0/5
Take a Hallmark movie, mix it with a Lifetime miniseries, throw in a movie of the week from let’s say 1987, and drown it in syrup, and you’ll have a better version of Taylor Sheridan’s new TV show Go to Full Review

Jack L @RT78463705 1h Dreadful. The worst thing Sheridan has done. Russell is a lost leader See more Michael W @MichaelW00 2h Brilliant, the simplicity of it works perfectly, notably from the stellar cast and beautiful setting…… Great to see Pfeiffer and Russell’s talents in full swing. See more J C @JBCHU 2h Awesome cast and story. Pfeiffer and Russel are so natural and talented! See more Sally L @Mustang31 9h Well, damn you Taylor Sheridan, this one was raw, And I felt it in my bones. The story of love and loss captured every emotion that I had, I felt sad, I felt happy I felt distraught but overall I was engaged in every single aspect of this series. Exceptional cast and they captured their characters with pure emotion and passion that allowed them to showcase their talent. See more Ben H @RT48064972 13h Taylor is amazing this show is completely different to any other shows by him, the story was great just wished there was more episodes really can’t wait for season 2, really loved how he used a rich family and the mum wanting to give everything a go absolutely hooked on this show,Marshals on the other hand is not good more like a scenic csi super boring See more Mone C @Mone77 13h A simply enchanting series. It talks about family, grief (and how to cope with it), and appreciating the little things in life. Michelle Pfeiffer is simply divine, as is Kurt Russell. A series to be enjoyed in the best style of the genre as it was in the 80s, without woke nonsense, LGBT, or racial issues, just the purest and most delicious family, personal, and relationship drama. The only thing I didn't like were the two useless, frivolous daughters who added nothing to the story. It seems Sheridan likes to mirror this type of american woman in his series, but it doesn't work cause in every series he's done this, the series loses a lot of quality, but he keeps insisting on it. I hope Taylor Sheridan doesn't ruin everything in a second season. And since a good portion of the leftist liberal trash critics also didn't like this series, it made me like it even more.
