I think it's one of the more interesting recent subplots in the age of streaming that one of the most venerable and ancient genres in TV has had a huge resurgence in the last couple of years – the western. There was probably a time when it felt like the genre was close to dead and buried, but one major showrunner might have reversed that course singlehandedly.
Taylor Sheridan was an established screenwriter and director when he turned his attention to Yellowstone, but that show has basically transformed his career, making him one of TV's most consequential recent figures. He keeps spinning off new franchises, too, and the latest is on Paramount+ right now doing massive numbers to again confirm Sheridan's potency. Marshals has been out since the beginning of March, but you (like me) might well have missed it entirely.
