Taylor Sheridan wants to show that real life is not black and white, but a messy gray area where choices have real, lasting consequences.
Yellowstone Creator says Yellowstone is not for Republicans or Conservatives
Taylor Sheridan's brainchild, Yellowstone, has certainly taken the bull by the horns in the American cultural rodeo, but it still seems to be galloping into uncharted waters. Despite its soaring popularity, akin to a soaring eagle in the mountainous Montana sky, and being labeled as "the reddest state show" on TV, it strangely remains an underdog in the eyes of critics.
While many fans are excited about Yellowstone, some detractors do not share this enthusiasm as they claim the show purposefully promotes conservative ideals. But Sheridan does not accept such whining.
A closer look at the numbers reveals an intriguing paradox: Succession, the media darling, mirrors Yellowstone in its portrayal of a patriarch's empire at a crossroads. But in a head-to-head viewership matchup, Yellowstone's episode more often defeated its rival in the previous season.
