Imagine the worst people you can think of, but they're all cowboys. Then give them a shit ton of wealth, influence, and land; their own private paramilitary too. They fuck with each other, the local Native American reservation, and politicians. A few people try to have a conscience sometimes. There ya go, that's my review.

Nah it's because Taylor Sheridan (the showrunner for Yellowstone and the rest of the chud cinematic universe) was a writer on Sicario (and a few other less high profile movies) and was able to build a career from there.

I'd argue it's just appealing to the chud demographic, and as can be seen by cop shows generally having the best ratings on TV, there are a lot of fucking chuds.

    I'd say it's moreso the demographics of who is still watching broadcast tv. Mostly old people who are unable or unwilling to change over to streaming and piracy like the rest of us did 15 years ago
