There are many advantages to a show being renewed way ahead of its Season 1 run ending, and you can see most of them on...

Throughout its entire Season 1 run, Sheriff Country has set a pretty high bar for a network procedural, and I’m pleased to report that its...

Given Boston Blue’s penchant for sappy emotionality, pretty much everyone was expecting a happy ending to Season 1. But given CBS’s need to justify a...

Call me cynical, but I've been watching Taylor Sheridan shows for long enough that as soon as I saw Beth and Rip having a nice, romantic morning together, I just knew something was going to be wrong.

In lieu of a proper overarching plot, especially with the nearest thing to a Big Bad having already been dispatched, and most of the lingering personal conflicts having already been ironed out, it’s important for Marshals to come up with some other ideas to build tension for its upcoming finale.

I know I compare Boston Blue and Sheriff Country a lot, perhaps even a little unfairly, but their respective trajectories have been interesting to follow....

You’d think that criminals would have learned by now that shooting cops is probably a bad idea. In a show like Boston Blue, which is...

Yellowstone was a bit of a phenomenon, and once it became obvious that people really liked it, creator Taylor Sheridan and his partners at CBS...

The first episode of Dutton Ranch was in such a hurry to get Beth and Rip to Texas that it didn’t bother to explain how they got...

We’ve had no shortage of entries in the so-called Duttonverse lately. After the success of 1883 and 1923, we had to wait a while for anything new,...

CBS’s Yellowstone spin-off Marshals was always intended to further flesh out Taylor Sheridan’s Duttonverse – if that’s what we’re calling it – through the specific...

It was obvious that Kayce was going to have some difficulty explaining why he was planning to extrajudicially murder a prison escapee, but even I didn’t think that his justification for that, or indeed how it might relate to his relationship with Cal and their long-standing trauma over that fateful mission in Afghanistan, would create such a downbeat and emotionally resonant episode.

Following the apprehension of Randall Clegg, Marshals is down a Big Bad, which means it has to fill its time with something else. This is probably why Episode 10, “Playing with Fire”, gets so personal.

On the plus side, Episode 9 of Marshals is probably the most straightforwardly action-packed outing of the season, which doesn’t leave much room for any weaker subplots or wavering focus.

Blimey, Sheriff Country isn’t kind to Boone, is it? Granted, Mickey directing Boone to the friend zone for the second time in as many episodes...

You know how it goes in procedurals. One of the main characters has a major personal revelation, they refuse to talk to the people they...

One of the recurring things about Edgewater is that it feels a bit small and insular, which seems to be a problem for everyone who...

Boston Blue is big on family. Always has been. With most of the Reagans having been left behind in Blue Bloods, a lot of the...
