This article basically explains why I don't like this show.

I could see why these kind of shows are popular with a certain simple set of the population.:mjpls:

ALL of his shows are popular with a certain simple set of the population. All of the non-whites on his shows, especially the criminals, are heavily stereotyped.

I mostly enjoy Taylor Sheridan's shows because of the absurd violence.

Yeah all his shyt plays well to that demo partly because he really taps into the idea that America at its heart is a horrific and brutal place, gotta be a fighter to survive and thrive...which plays into and well with classic American exceptionalism.

From a purely thematic perspective though, he's one of the few in Hollywood that "gets" violence. For cinematic violence to have an impact, it has to have a cost. Characters can't just shake shyt off, be revived etc. When ppl die in his works, they usually die bad. It's never really depicted as glorious or heroic, its actually usually quite sad.

My Dad and his wife watch Yellowstone and all those spinoffs, and I put them onto Taylor Sheridan, his brand, his ascent, his production deal, and watched an episode or twof of 1883

Think you can see where he's spread really thin, haven't watched this yet, but they just don't have the feel of his best work like Wind River

all the elements are there, but feels formulaic and kind of underwhelming.

he signed an insane production deal for like 300 million and made like 6 TV shows. He singularly props up Paramount and Paramount+
