Taylor Sheridan's Yellowstone has been at the root of many concerns in our modern pop culture, from its transformative take on the accepted Western genre to its dialogue about the nearly extinct ranch-cowboy lifestyle. But most disturbing of all has been the arc between Wes Bentley and Kelly Reilly that pits brother against sister in a toxic family war that puts Succession to shame.
Meanwhile, Yellowstone continues to rack up spin-offs like a spoiled child on a joyride—which is exactly what Paramount has offered Sheridan and his artistic sensibilities.
