Figured this needed it's own thread to contain my gushing.
Taylor Sheridan who wrote SICARIO, HELL OR HIGH WATER and WIND RIVER, writes and directs the entire first season of YELLOWSTONE for Paramount Network. Kind of a cross between DALLAS and THE GODFATHER. It's a melodrama following the Dutton family who own the largest ranch in the US with Costner playing the patriarch of the family John Dutton who leads the fight against land developers, the local Tribal Council, cattle ranchers and Yellowstone Park. It's gritty and gripping and full of incredible scenery. In addition to Kevin Costner it also stars Wes Bentley, Cole Hauser, Danny Huston, Luke Grimes, Kelly Reilly and Gil Birmingham, among others. Season 2 has Taylor Sheridan becoming a co-writer and letting others take over the directing duties but it hasn't missed a beat and IMO, is even stronger than the first season. Season 3 is filming right now.
Andrew mentioned in another thread that the series has an underlying sense of sadness and regret and that is pretty spot on. There's a dark sense of inevitability that permeates all of Taylor's work, IMO, and this show is consistent with that. If you like his other work you will love this. Plenty of Taylor's bit players show up here too.
