Started with 1883 which while beautiful should've been a clear warning on just how much silly Taylor Sheridan can commit to what should've been an almost simple path to perfection. The cast is ridiculously talented. The scenery is the star of the show and you miss it when you're watching anything else with an outdoor pov. The deep hurt to the gut anyone watching gets when considering what might happen to our most beautiful parts of our country when they're inundated with more Targets Starbucks and the mediocrity minded, greedy, purposely ignorant wealthy is absolutely real. There are so many gorgeous and small scenes that do absolutely nothing to move the story forward but absolutely give urbanites and city-dwellers a moment to understand what we are missing out on. Watching these small details focused on actual ranching, actual cowboying, actual Indigenous communities and their rituals, stresses, injustices, restrictions and the oppressive laws that no one outside their culture thinks about let alone cares about. There is so much to gain from this show. As someone with even a small percentage of Indigenous DNA, maybe I'm more sensitive to the damage humans continue to wreak upon Earth as so gloriously observed during the pandemic with wild animals roaming empty and human disregarded city streets.
Unfortunately this can get lost in the high school clown show that the writers have painted their potential masterpiece into.
Instead of focusing on the beauty of the land and the common interests of far right and far left viewers, we have to watch a grown woman with no self-control, who's supposed to be brilliant at everything except looking in the mirror. And her super confusing father who from one episode to the next goes from telling his psycho daughter "do I still have my son" when he thought she had killed him to "I have one son I regret" and "I only have one son". What is that? How are we supposed to care about this family? It's just gotten silly and you'd think they'd realize we have really had enough of dirty politics. Now we are forced into being subjected to it while trying anything to enjoy what life we can without it.
An shame. No wonder KC doesn't want to come back.
